Are there any updates on UK business layoffs today, was it just Glasgow ? Will there be additional cuts in other offices, like Cherrywood or London ? Any information on the severance package for this round of layoffs?
Manager's strange behavior
I try not to worry ahead of time, however, it is hard not to be anxious when everyone is talking about layoffs, and I have been unsuccessfully looking for a new job for months. I am aware that person can panic under pressure and start imagining... — read more
August 7th
While some have already been happening quietly in the background, larger cuts are happening on August 7th. 10% in many businesses. This roulette game has been exhausting and demoralizing. I hope for anyone that gets affected by this, that you land on... — read more
Preparing for the worst
I hope all of you are doing ok. Almost 10 years with Dell and these constant shakeups are tiring. I'm assuming we will get news the last week of July. Just coast the rest of July and see where you end up. Nothing you can do about it at this point. If... — read more
Should see some action tomorrow and Wednesday 7/19
US sales and customer-facing field are all on the list. Good luck everyone
People need time to recover from Dell
That's the feeling I get from reading some of the posts here. Or is it not so? I, on the other hand, think that I will forget that I ever worked here as soon as I manage to land a better offer.
How long have you been looking for a new offer?
I'm starting to get worried because I haven't been able to get anything better for months now.

Dell management have zero credibility
I got my WFR in May and have not been looking for work since. Dell management are generally inexperienced and unqualified for their role right across the board. It's hard to take orders from id*ts who just understand buzzwords. I am so glad I... — read more
If cuts are around the corner...
Everyone is talking about cuts. While some are looking forward to being on the list, I am still interested in whether it is possible to do anything in order to make my job safer and avoid being on the list this time? I would definitely not like... — read more
Cuts gaining steam
Talk of WFR is gathering pace , i doubt it will be as high as 10%, maybe another 5%?
Silver Lining
Is it that corporations (Dell) are truly looking out for our general well being with the new return to work model? Could it be the very issue of mental health as to one of the top reasons? Never mind the increased costs of travel, the stress of long... — read more
Tell Dell results are in - angry faces
Seems to be a grumpiness in the office.
Expecting big redundancies soon or not?
Please tell me that these are just malicious rumors about upcoming big redundancies. I'm really worried, but I still hope it won't come to that.
Ashamed to have Dell on my resume
I devoted myself to looking for new opportunities because I don't see that anything will be better here. At the same time, I don't think I've ever been more ashamed of having Dell on my resume. I'm probably not the only one? I don't know how... — read more
Mandated RTO coming up?
That would be the next evolution of this ignoramus policy right? Honest question for Marty McFly: you see anything about mandated return to office in the future?
Lost in space
Hey guys, My recent message was deleted. I took the Delorean out. We are clean thru August. Dell stock will hit high of $66 then. Enjoy your summer and vacations.

Been Awful quiet regarding RTO....
Its been dead silent the last month about RTO after they were talking about it almost daily.... Not a peep from MD either about RTO since it was announced which is very odd since he always comments to the team after big changes like that. I wonder... — read more
Layoffs and Human obsolescence
Oh how ironic and so humanlike to -knowingly or unknowingly- have created our own obsolescence and eventual demise via Ai. Our arrogance as a species has no limits.

Doesnt sound like a company about to make massive layoffs. Has the VMWare deal gone through yet as that is a wad of cash waiting for an owner?
Don't fall for this cr-p
I just read that a survey showed that tech workers are willing to give up on high salaries and take a pay cut amid mass layoffs. I think this is nothing but bullsh-t. It's so easy to fake the results of a survey it's laughable. And they've been... — read more

Dell perception in the Job Market?
Expecting to be laid off. Lots of org changes in past eight months and my new boss is very distant past couple of months and my input is rarely sought on anything. My motivation is almost at 0. The silence is deafening. For those laid off recently... — read more
Who??? Many more ‘frontline’ than pro 300k 1x1ers
August fallout prediction: those that do the real work will lose. I think we stop working, eliminate the meritocracy mindset. Those that can’t be measured objectively have already won. Think we see a meaningful VP+ impact? Or another primary hit to... — read more

Dell is the same as every other large corporation
When you say you are dissatisfied with how Dell treats employees you need to understand it is all large corporations. The economy is in a downswing and IT spending from Covid is in the past. That means in order to show investors they are profitable... — read more

Dissatisfaction with the leadership
I have worked in several companies, but it is here that I am the least satisfied with the leadership. Dell needs much better leaders who have a vision and who will be committed to the future of this company. Otherwise... I don't know what the... — read more
