Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Hey people HR is the company against the employee! When will you people learn HR role is to protect the company not the employee . Some really stupid people on these site's!

The managerial role is there to provide isolation, once headcount increases over a specific threshold.

Excellent managers are hard to find, but they tend to beget more subsequent managers than bad ones (where all of the prospective talent leaves out of frustration).

If your co-workers are leaving rather than climbing the ladder, you'd best update that LinkedIn profile and get on the horn with some recruiters, do not pass go....

Also–if your manager ever accuses you of something that the documentation proves otherwise, do yourself a solid and make sure that they get their due elsewhere. No good deed goes unpunished, but revenge is purulent.

Dell Canada has mainly EMC managers - running Canadian Data center business. These people are so out of touch with Canadian market - customer needs - Dell Canada run by these dinosaur - trend is downward.

Most Dell employees are silent , even when they have good approach to selling.

I disagree. nothing will happen if we keep quiet and slowly lose our voices. Always go to HR against anyone. Document everything. Even if HR are crooks too, the system is built to record. Audits will surface with volume. Especially in a big company like Dell.

I may not be speaking from personal experience, but I am certainly speaking from experience, the experience of watching others who chose to go for it. I just gave my point of view, you are free to disregard it.

Just to sort of counterbalance my earlier comment. Approach HR against your manager only if your allegations are extremely serious and you have incontrovertible evidence. If the media gets wind of such allegations, it has the potential to create a PR crisis for the company then you will get the needed attention and action would be immediate. If it gets to he said, she said, nothing will happen. Managers are generally smart; they will ensure that nothing concrete is available against them. BTW, I am also into management nowadays. :-)

why should I listen to you when you are not speaking from experience. you left instead of approach HR then you told everyone to follow suit when you have zero real experience of what will happen if you took the other road.

cool story.
