Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

What was decisive in your decision to leave?

I'm still hesitating whether to accept a slightly worse offer or stay here. I'm feeling tired and under a lot of pressure here, but on the other hand, starting somewhere else from scratch after so many years here can also be very stressful.

I left after 5 years. The job was great, my colleagues were great, and the only problem is that the salary was too low.

When you realize that your manager has no input.
The pressure is from budget - as long as execs hit numbers they do not care.
The constant pressure and lack of support is from budget. Having to many tasks.
Management knows you will give more and then more and takes advantage.
When it’s your time to go, they will not care.

Move on with you career

Get out as soon as you can. Being bullied and pushed out by a manage via PIP after returning from bereavement leave, after my wife died, did it for me.

I just left after after 8 years. I couldn't be happier. The transition has been a breeze and and I am so much more energized now than I was before. With a ton of experience to your credit, there shouldn't be any stress - on the contrary you are likely to be valued on day 1 as a valued and experienced asset to whomever is lucky enough to hire you. I am so happy to shed all of the unknowns around job security. Good Luck. No regrets. Just leave professionally and with integrity.

There is no perfect job or perfect company. I've worked for multiple large companies, including Dell more than once. Dell may be a legacy hardware player that's struggling to modernize, but its not inherently a bad place to be. MOST teams/groups/bosses have good latitude for good work/life balance, though the trade off seems to be lower pay. Bonuses in good years can be really great, too. You aren't going to find panacea or paradise at another company. I probably wouldn't leave for the same or less money, unless you're just really in a bind.

I havent left yet as I was hoping for a package to be offered but if im honest I cant take anymore of the bullsh-t.
No bonus,no expenses,more problems,less help.
Its time to move on.But.maybe this is what Dell wants for a lot of people.
