In the US, we cannot see where we stand on SCORE so we have no idea how we are progressing towards our quota. We cannot see all of our backlog. Is this the same globally?
Incredible External Storage numbers
Dell kickin a-s with a third of the market, 40% y/y growth Powerstore PowerMax PowerVault PowerScale What's there not to love?
Any news for Dublin office
I see many posts here related to different locations. Any one in dublin ?
ISG engineering, it's your own fault...
I lost count how many times ISG engineering would openly brag about overinflating estimates for work and intentionally leaving features partially finished as an "insurance policy" for future job security. How's that working out for ya'all?
Do we really know who and where
Seems like so many comments about rumors on multiple threads about the recent layoffs but no real confirmation from actual groups or teams hit. News reports mentioning thousands are their way out the door in 2026 so we should be hearing of more that... — read more
Dell lays off for H1B visas too
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fury-erupts-us-brand-fires-1600-employees-after-securing-thousands-foreign-worker-visas The same is true for Dell too?
The bill has finally come due
For years, many of us watched the ISG organization abandon the very disciplines required to build successful enterprise software. Some spoke up. Most stayed silent. Leadership either didn't listen or simply didn't care. Now the bill has finally come... — read more
BAIN, if you're listening...
Good move on Travis V. He was obvious, d-mb as dirt. However, you need to do the same for the rest of the clowns in ISG - Directors, VPs, SVPs. A couple are okay but most have no business doing what they're getting paid to do. Just look at their... — read more
Restructuring question
Which product lines is Dell discontinuing, in this restructuring? Hearing most cuts are associated with product discontinuation. Is that accurate?
Any news on iDRAC layoffs?
Heard fairly reliable rumors of one-third of some groups gone! Any one has any update?
Long live NetApp and Qumulo
Stopped using Scrum @ Scale and reorganized teams → "industry-wide" TDD initiative. Continuous release date slippage → mandatory weekend work. Core Shanghai teams axed with little to no notice → work shifted to other geos; quality suffered AI... — read more
I'm surprised they let it go as long as it did...
I'm surprised Dell leadership let PPDM continue for as long as it did. BAIN, on the other hand, appears to have looked at the business objectively and concluded that enough was enough. PPDM was a loser from the beginning. Engineering consistently... — read more
Isg irvine entire team gone??
I hear entire ppdm team was laid off?? True???

Has anyone that has left voluntarily or via WFR in Sales or Presales been held to a Non Compete or Key employee agreement( KEA) when looking at going to a competitor or partner? Thought there was one but can't seem to find that now. Thank you!
Confirmed WFR in ISG
Lots of team members who are remote working on PPDM got hit. Most of Irvine team, working on PPDM, all remote when the site closed down in Feb, got let go. Alsp ppl in SC and Hopkinton. In total about 40 in PPDM.
ISG, what did we expect when ...
We no longer innovate ... We can't develop a single complete feature in less than 3 - 5 years ... We don't follow any process ... We have leaders who don't even understand best practice processes ... We have leaders who refuse process... — read more
Microsoft doing it too...
Except posted today. According to an internal email sent to employees by Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, the division will cut 3,200 jobs by fiscal year 2027, with 1,600 of them eliminated on Monday. Sharma wrote that she understood that “a restructuring... — read more
Dell to be “repaid” for Trump Accounts contribution
POTUS’ words not mine. I wonder how he’ll be “repaid”? The great philanthropist is a fraud.
Hearing layoff are happening
Any news?
Are there layoffs in ISG today?
Hearing rumblings.
Hiring freeze
Is that still in effect?
Travis's management downline?
So Travis was shown the door this week - and rightly so - but when are we ever going to clean up the rest of his management downline? They are every bit as incompetent and inexperienced as he was. You all know the names. We continue to fall further... — read more
Does the Press know that Dell can’t pay commissions?
Someone has gotta pick up this news event.
They succeeded in silencing me
I've been thinking about who I was when I started here versus who I am now. I used to speak up when something was wrong and I always used to advocate for people. Now I just keep my head down and stay quiet, even when I see something clearly unfair... — read more
What did you always want to ask but were too afraid of?
Give it your best. I'll answer truthfully to the best of my knowledge.
Got you Dell
Dells market cap will be cut in half in the coming weeks. Nobody needs Dell anymore, take your energy polluting products to Mars
What is Dell doing with Sales Comp Plans / Targets?!?
I’m convinced Dell is trying to get people to quit. Quotas are higher, attainment less achievable, and no visibility to track progress at 8 weeks into a 12 week quarter. Most are barely pulling the draw. This calculated decision by Dell is... — read more
Time to bet against Dell is now
They laid off 43500 employees reason 1. Nobody needs these stupid data centers w expensive energy eating Dell db equipment which is junk. Bet against Dell tomorrow
another draw check for June
by this rate I won't get paid until next year. thanks dell
So Travis is out?
What happened ?
No references can be given
I worked for Dell for 20 years and I was told that I can't recieve references from management or co workers. Nor can active Dell employees contact me post layoff. Has this happened to others?
Canada Cuts

On the Road Again…
Well, partner… I knew somethin’ was driftin’ my way the moment I walked into Dell Tthat mornin’. The air felt different—like the quiet before a desert storm. Folks were lookin’ at me with that soft, sympathetic smile people give a man who’s about to... — read more
goodbye Dell
Got laid off last week after 10 years of work. My manager joined the regular 1x1 on Tuesday and started reading "the script" . After that, crickets. My VP, with whom I worked for a number of years, didn't even acknowledge me. So much for all the... — read more
Got the layoff invite and over 40 years old?
Before you get on that call, you need to research Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA) review period. If you were over the age of 40, you have 45 days to review and sign the severance package. Advocate for yourself.
Change job internally - more at risk?
I have been within current VP org for the last 5 years. I see a good opportunity moving in another group. Did a few interviews and manager said I’m the perfect fit. My question is, am I more at risk of WFR shifting roles internally? As in, would be... — read more
