you will never be promoted, get a worthy raise or anything else - Systems Engineer Dell Technologies Employee Review

You will never get a substantial or inflation upkeep raise. You will never get a promotion. You will never move up or latterally No matter now much you work, how much you know, nothing you do is ever good enough, others that do less will get raises and promotions over you, you will always be passed over HR will do everything in their power to oppress and subjugate you to their "policies" especially during trying times for everyone, holding you, your family, your income, your livelihood, your morals and ethics, and everything else hostage. You will have to fight and stand your ground with logic, reason, facts, and legalities, they will attempt to bully you and be a pushover if you don't stand on your morals, ethics, and integrity - you will be HR's nightmare. Your manager hates and has such disdain for you, and so as mentioned above, you will never be promoted, get a raise, or anything in terms of career growth, when they can't fire you for work performance, and HR has nothing on you, they will all try to build a case to get rid of you with constructive termination, to start building that case. So in the meantime, they will just pile on all of the work, the most complex work, the fix the $h!t that other engineers hosed and messed up the implementation/design/plan and everything on... and always criticize your work, - but then you call them out on the BS with proof and evidence, and everyday is a battle between the he/said of his 'favorites' without any validation or verification of credibility, but you have facts, proof and evidence on your side... It's all a horse and pony show, all the promotio and raises, it's just for the good old boys and favorites, fake fabricated metrics that serves as the rubber stamping documentation to push through promotions and raises for their favorites...., many of the peers that gets promoted are dumb as rocks, you have to go back and FIX their F ups, in the years there, you keep seeing the same usual suspects getting promoted several times, and while others get nothing for years... the others... that go on without financial compensation are the ones that keeps the backbone of their IT infrastructure up 24/7, but all the useless yahoos are the ones getting the promotion and raises. Every year, every quarter, Sr Management and upper echelons big wiggs, always says, it's a record breaking quarter in revenue, but you only get pennies if that, when it comes to the so called bonuses and profit sharing... Management every year at the tell dell survey always threaten their direct reports with - you better put all 10s, if you still want a job, or if you don't want a new manager, and even worse at the director level, of blackmail threats of you'll never work here or in this town or whatever...again Maybe after a decade of keeping their multi-billion dollar infrastructure up, they might take pity on you and give you a promotion or a raise, but you can absolutely go anywhere else and basically increase your pay 30-70% to 2x your salary and more. Every year management gives you the same garbage spiel of... I can't give you a raise, you aren't doing enough, others are doing more than you, I only have x amount in budget, need to give to deserving others, instead of the 1% to everyone or ...005%, etch, blah blah blah, but you know you are the one doing everything, so you just say ok...and get back to work you ingrate, be grateful you have a job you bum... Work life is even worse and more of a headache when your new so-called manager is micromanagement extraordinaire, who was just previously your peer/colleague/project manager... life's wisdom of one man's garbage is another man's treasure... you can only make the best of your situation within your control... and change your environment and circumstances when you can, til then you must endure...
