All good things must end. Leaving Dell is not the end of life. It is a mediocre company running on fumes as they destroy their loyal customer base. Dell recently got caught screwing with public contracts codes. They are going to get sued for that. Fines and loss of access to some of those. . Dell’s MB and SB field storage “executives” have been colluding with partners to fix pricing in favor of channel buddies. That is the next shoe to drop. Wrongful termination suits are coming in. It’s a crooked company.

Dell is awful - I've been out for a bit, pretty much every company I interview with has significantly better benefits package, much better culture. I am kicking myself for not leaving sooner. There will be more layoffs at Dell at end of year, this is the plan they wanted to implement before COVID hit. If you are in Sales...GET OUT as soon as you can. If you are not going to have a good end of year, start looking now. There are way better options out there - market is not bad. Dell is also getting passed by VAST, already passed by Pure. Servers are all the same, every server deal is a race to the cheapest price, regarding laptops...buy a Mac. Dell offers no ESPP either. They are not interested in hiring talent - the higher paid folks will be top of the WFR list come end of 2H.
Sounds like your mental health could use some work. Here's an hour long seminar you can watch. See if you can fit it into your 14 hour day. If not, there's another one next quarter.

For real, you really see Dell’s true colors as a bottom of the barrel IT company when you look at our lousy benefits. Wtf kind of company penalizes you for insuring your employed spouse? And even if you choose to do it and eat the penalty you get expensive lousy coverage as a reward. All benefits budget being wasted on fringe “health” advice services that no one uses instead….
I guess the exes didn't take the mandatory training on business ethics. I think price colluding was mentioned a million times
Getting let go was actually great for me. I'm interviewing quite a bit, not a ton, but almost every company has waaaaayy better healthcare coverage than Dell. I was shocked, I thought Dell would be great but it is actually some of the worst coverage I have seen out there.
Not surprising. Dell execs are POS. Wouldn’t be the first time they got their hand slapped
Thanks for the speech?
