Do we really think Dell has laid off 6600 people already? I seriously doubt it. So when does it end? We will probably never hear from them about it. I am in the US and have heard only small numbers from several divisions. No where near that 6600... — read more

Did anyone volunteer for the latest round of wfr? If so, did you get the standard package? Any questions about about you volunteering from HR? Or did it just go through. Would they even care?

Anyone else missing half pay on the last paycheck before severance? Has Dell completely lost it. The next few weeks looks like a mess of emails back and forth. So much for a smooth out.
