The moment this layoff round is done, we'll have to start worrying about the next one. Everybody is having multiple rounds within months or even weeks of each other, so why would Dell be any different? I think this whole year will be like that. I... — read more 

How bad is it in round rock.

Just wondering if any in D/FW were cut, traditionally they have been very safe, at least from the groups I am familiar with, so just checking in to see if there were any cuts.
