For effs sake with the pumpers. They beat Wallstreet estimates that were set based on the feedback they gave prognosticators in the last qtrly report. It's a fricken mirage. Double digit YoY declines. Oh, but the new (but really old) patna first for... — read more

Same 'old' story about white guys

This is the sad reality.
The core of Dell is rotten
Been at h-Dell for 20+ years and currently working in h-EMC sales. Must have been through 7 or 8 different WFR in my tenure. This round is different. Any WFR is expected to do more with less, but the quota have always been generous after WFR when... — read more

Any insights into WFR decisions?
I was relatively new to Dell - 18 months with the company and 15 months in role. I will admit that I didn't have a great first 2 quarters in role, but I found my groove and hit 170% last quarter, averaging >110% over the last 3. My manager and senior... — read more

Voluntary layoffs being offered today
A friend was offered one today during her 1x1. Worked out for her as she was going to give notice anyway. And no she’s not in sales. She’s in finance at Dell. Anyone else heard of that going on?
How many more consultants do we need??
Dell should lay off all these consultants that literally only know Microsoft tools. They get paid to present details to managers that they have to collect from the SMEs who are several grades below them. Some of them are really more like glorified... — read more
I hate this place
People give it their all year after year to get where they are and for what? To not have any job security even if they are carrying their team on their backs? To be treated like cr-p by managers who are below them in both knowledge and experience but... — read more
Linked In posts
