A management structure that's just managers managing managers, managing managers, managing managers, managing the people who are doing the work

CVS layoffs this week, Dell layoffs next week. We're told the economy is doing better, the debt has been reduced. Good times ahead. Credit Downgrade Credit rating agency Fitch has lowered the United States' perfect AAA rating by one level to an... — read more 

Good luck all

Will Jeffrey send a weekend email telling us the % of cuts on the way, like he did in Feb

I can't believe there are grown men and women who work for Dell who believe they're safe here. People who think their hard work is making them safe. Your head has to be buried really, really deep in the sand for you to convince yourself that's true... — read more 

I hear speculations that this downward spiral will result in additional cuts very soon, but on the other hand the management says that everything is in the best order……

The leadership has done a very good job streamlining the org and removing barbs. It has the hybrid story down perfectly and what we do in CSG is ki-ling it on market. Ideal time for someone like Microsoft to swoop in and take the market front to... — read more 

Tim Sweet (CFO) just announced he is leaving. COO and CFO in couple of days from each other!!

We dont need 18 specialists to sell modern multicloud infrastructure. We've made it pretty straight forward. Just a core team.

Any scoop on how are things with 5G group? I'm in fear with so much rumors around.

Dell announced 5% layoff in February. It wasnt announced due to kindness. They announced it due to and/or legal, geopolitical, pr reasons. Now the mindless on here will have you believe a bigger is on the horizon yet no announcement. One here... — read more 

Any word if the Channel ISRs and TSR’s will get hit? Or Enterprise or Commercial Services Sales? I have friends in all….

We onboarded 2 people this week. And we have adverts out for 2 more hires. What layoff are you dafts lamenting on about?

So? What happened to the speeds and feeds of the hot topic on Fishbowl? Poof! It's gone.

Does Dell use statutory redundancy pay or is it uncapped?

I want to volunteer.

Chuck is gone , last day is August 18.

If these posts are truly moderated, please get rid of McFly. I don’t care if they are a current employee, ex-Dell, HR, or a troll. I keep hearing about posts being deleted but theirs are still showing up. Am I the only one who wants them to go away? — read more 

Tell me what you've heard

I for one am excited about the upcoming layoffs When can we expect Jeff's email and what will the % be?

I understand layoffs. They happen, this is a business, yada yada yada. I can read an economic report as easy as anyone. What I DONT get, is former employees visiting this thread trying to tie us in anxiety knots. Like…seriously? Do you stalk your... — read more 

What are people expecting next week, 5% across the board ?

Please start planning for whats coming in the next few weeks. I have seen whats coming and Im very sorry for anyone in sales.

It's a tense situation here. Can't they be a little more transparent and spare the employees some uncertainty because no one can be very productive and focused while worrying about whether and when they will lose their source of income?

Decisions have already been made. Just prepare your personal finances and be applying elsewhere proactively. Control what you can control, accept what you can’t. This is very much true. People who are constantly worrying about their name being on... — read more 

I work for Dell in an anonymous location doing an anonymous job (sales is all I will tell you), and the reason for the upcoming layoffs is nobody's fault but the company's. Corporate, Ent and multiple other sales teams received absolutely... — read more

Lay offs happened 18/19th of July in Glasgow, are there more expected for August? Atmosphere is very hush hush and secretive which is annoying.

As the title says, I am ex Dell, not afraid to be truthful here. I was a 2nd line manager in Nashville with 17 years of service. I was cut in Feb and have already landed in a great role. Not here to troll, but what’s up with every post about ex Dell... — read more 

I've spoken to a number of managers who all told me the scores were abysmal across the board. I know that it's possible to massage the results but how long more are they going to espouse Tell Dell within the company? I know it's not a terrible place... — read more
