That Dell EMC at Hopkinton is paying off more than 15% yearly bonuses and have raised the salaries by more than 8% for the Engineers there. Is that true?

This company is dangerously stuck in the past. Management pretends not to see it, but the company is crying out for young and talented people, who however are applying for Google or Facebook and don’t even think of applying here. Now I'm not even... —  read more 

I've been in technical sales over a year now and I've never gotten a "bonus" I hear others talk about. When do merit increases happen? Q1? March?

All those rumors about layoffs that are around the corner just don't make any sense to me. I don't understand why would a company lay off workers while at the same time being very short staffed. It goes against common sense but I guess at Dell... —  read more 

Laid off (WFR) and paying thousands for COBRA out of pocket. Once again Dell claws back! Beat the he-l out of us to use Virgin Pulse to get rewards. Went through weeks of recording stats only to get a mail yesterday saying it was a mistake and Dell... —  read more 

What do you predict? I think it'll be end of March 2022, but I am not sure. What's your prediction.

I didn't have much trouble landing a new position that pays slightly better than Dell. This company is still a great reference that opens many doors. Rightfully or not, you decide. I admit it was scary leaving a place where I've spent more than two... —  read more 

I just got an offer from Dell in sales and strategy. I am worried about the layoff articles I have been reading here which makes me wonder if it's worth joining??

It's a new year and wondering if any rumors or news out there for 2022?

I'm curious, what does a manager need to do to get reprimanded at Dell, not to mention let go? I can tell you they can treat their direct reports like cr-p, including being verbally abusive towards them, and foster a toxic work environment and suffer... —  read more 

People are not leaving because of the problems they have had since yesterday. People are leaving because of issues that have been piling up here for years. Just like those issues did not appear suddenly, it is impossible to solve them all at... —  read more 

I made the jump off that sinking ship a little while back. Because of the toxic work environment at Dell, my new position has been relatively easy. I did have to catch up on the new tech, but I am doing okay there. You don't know how sick the Dell... —  read more 

Forget layoffs, the resignations right now are high.

I’ve finally quit after getting really bored. Over the past 2 years and since they started with the One ISG transformation, my workload dropped by 70% while I received 2 promotions for doing much less work. My colleagues and I were sitting idle most... —  read more 

It's interesting. While some are "forgiven" for their mediocrity here, others are asked for too much. The fact that some of us face unrealistic demands would be somehow acceptable if this was a company that also strived for the better. If we are... —  read more 

Even if you are quite satisfied and feel safe (as much as possible), it is not good to stay here for more than two years. Otherwise, this is a place where you will slowly become less marketable because your skills will atrophy. I am talking from the... —  read more

Has anyone that hasn't been vaccinated yet opened an HR case to check if they're included in the federal vaccination requirement? They had mentioned it was necessary to open an HR case by 11/5 and I was wondering what the HR response was like.

Buy me out!

Dell thinks everyone is easily replaceable, but that's not the case. If by replacement they mean to replace an excellent employee who has the expertise, skills and experience, with an employee who has none of that - then it is true, everyone is ... —  read more

It’s a mess, just watch Deepak, the ring leader of the mess, he will be out. How many jobs will have to pay the price for his snake oil.

Two weeks since Dell announced some cuts I’ve spent hoping that I might find myself on the layoff list but nothing happened. I’m glad at least that some other people, who were afraid of it, that they are still there. Do you know how many people were... —  read more 

Does Dell ever push back on state unemployment benefits for laid off employees? I have to re-up and unemployment is waiting a response. Thanks everyone!

When I think back to my first month when I came to Dell, I was very enthusiastic and tried to show everything I know, and I didn’t really know all that much. However, I had colleagues who pointed out some things to me and helped me. What is... —  read more
