Short post and ready to be flamed. I have worked from home for a decade with Dell and support work from home as a whole. It is far more productive for me and the customers we manage. So does some of the team. But I am not the problem. The problem... — read more 

Looks like Jeff was playing to the crowd. This looks like a WFR without the payoff. Tell me im wrong?

I think I'm not the only one?

Management is absolute disaster and aimless. Don't quit voluntarily. Just don't comply. Let's see where the cards fall.

I am hesitant to listen to rumors, but now that the Return to Office rumors are true I am wondering if Workforce Reductions are next.

Usual incorrect rumours

The cutbacks, removal of benefits, of which more will disappear come September when EBA is renegotiated in Australia. Expect to see medical benefits cutback, especially in Australia/Europe are all leading up to the eventual sale of VMware and Dell... — read more 

I dont believe in the RTO rumors here. To many holes. I think it will just be for some groups and directors. Not company wide BUT is there a silver lining? If there is an RTO they may just offer voluntary severance with it.

I heard WELLS FARGO BIG order may not go through in FRANKLIN, The bank is having legal problems, if the order doesn't go through in FRANKLIN is in trouble big time.

I for one am looking forward to getting back to the office 3 days a week. Coffee with colleagues, career opportunities and good canteen food

they have already got rid of the install work and only break/fix left. I think they will also outsource all the work at some point also because the utilization numbers don't justify keeping so many staff. I think they will keep some FSE staff in... — read more 

Has anyone heard specifics about WFR? Our group was definitely advised RTO communication will be out on Monday. Generally if you within 1 hour of office, they would like you to come in 1-2 days a week. Out of 11 people on our team, only 3 are... — read more 

Confirmed. Email Monday about return to office. 3 days per week for those within 50km of office

This is the way to run a company, employees should not be tossed out to make the bottom line look better and use the cost savings for stock buybacks to inflate the stock price. Shame on you!

I've been working here for a long time, but I've never, ever experienced more people wishing to be laid off. How did things get this way?

How many times, working from home, have you actually wished that you were in the office because it might be easier for you to finish a certain task? It happened to me only once, but I quickly overcame that small problem and the work was done as... — read more 

With all the rumours being of a 2 day a week return to office, will it be monitored ? Will people with connected worker status be exempt ? Or will it happen at all

Move on with your lives. aint no sunshine when shes gone

What are the layoff rumors everyone is hearing this week? Feeling really uneasy about things so hoping someone knows something.

We are working with juniors that have never been in an office, never leave their bedroom, are too shy to pick up their phone and too scared on VC to talk up. So a small number of us overworked oldies are carrying the can in nearly... — read more

With WFR's out of the way there has been some reshuffling. A few good leaders were given lottery tickets to leave. Unfortunately they have been replaced by managers. People who dont focus on the customer or the business, just on process and ticking... — read more 

Hey Guys. Hope you didn't spend all your bonus in one place. I am back from June. Noticed a few rumors flying around. no official RTO. Just some rogue managers trying to suggest to a few days of RTO. no layoffs. Definitely not in the tens of... — read more 

My manager told me today that there is a plan to layoff a further 15000 people at the end of April, has anyone heard the same?

Is anyone hearing about another round of layoffs? If so, any idea when, and is there a specific business area getting impacted? Thanks!

Is it normal to get a pay raise once you hit the anniversary or do we wait till annual review? Seriously considering to leave as I got hired in July 2022 (during hiring freeze ofc) and was not given a raise this past annual review. For next chance... — read more

In the Feb round, lots of folks got laid off from CCOE, anyone hearing any further layoff news from this org now?

Will Dell require people to return to office?

I think the likelihood that Dell will offer a voluntary offer is almost non-existent. However, maybe the leadership should think about it, because currently there are lots of people who only do the bare minimum, without any motivation and desire to... — read more 

anyone else hear cuts are coming to APEX in the coming weeks.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse and that there should be some positive changes at Dell, this company proves me wrong and continues nose diving. How long will it be down before it gets any better? Or will it never get better? I'm... — read more 

I would worry much more about the management deciding to replace layoffs altogether with PIPs than about layoffs in general. I've seen this happen in my previous company and it wouldn't surprise me if it happened here as well. The company saves much... — read more

More ppl laid off in Americas Field Services with FSE & FSS let go.

Is it just me or do people feel that their managers are being a jerk to them now? I feel like my manager is just micro managing and just giving me grief for no reason at all. Everything is super urgent, especially everything that I missed (that too... — read more
