Dell Technologies grabs giant spanner, begins the Great EMC Retool

Bill Scannell as Hands/Feet?

I would view him more as an STD like Herpes - you can try to make his terrible cigar-chewing sales antics go dormant, but you can't really get rid of him...not even with a shot of some kind of antibiotic. As for the rest of the article - a nice foggy dissertation that may make sense to the feverish cult of narcissism that I am sure exists inside the walls of the company, but from the outside it's just desperately moving antiquated tech pieces around on a game board nobody cares about anymore.

Dell EMC lifts the post-acquisition axe, swings

Hopefully Just Gettin' Started...

Good to see they are starting to flush out the sewage pipes of worthless layers of nothing in Hopkinton and Santa Clara. Hopefully they aim for similar stuff in Atanta, Dallas, and Chicago. Let's also hope the axe doesn't stop until every "Senior Director of Looking Important and Traveling Senselessly on the Company Dime" is flushed out. Marketing, HR, product "managers", "presales" managers...drop the axe on 'em all and make them go get jobs where they actually have to PRODUCE results and not just focus on the company's cultish "personal branding" silliness.

All the while VMAX3 - it's FLAGSHIP product and what started the company - shipped without FICON for mainframe...the very reason the thing was invented. But don't worry - it's the foundation of "Cloud"...that's why AWS, Azure, Google run so many of them- oh, nevermind.

And keep shutting buildings down - I could never understand how the company could pay for leases on so many places that appeared to be 2% occupied throughout the day, other than to make the incestuous and conniving sales management feel important. It was a well run company - right into the arms of a mercy killing. Good riddance.
