Any termination protection Dell has for new hire?

Now it's correcting its mistake. This was to be expected.

Not every 1x1 is a layoff meeting. If you read through the posts here, many of them are just business as usual. Don't get all worked up in advance until you know what's really going on. Your mental health will be grateful to you if you don't jump to... — read more 

The job market for my age group looks grim right now. I'm not sure what I'm going to do if I'm laid off. Is anybody else in a similar position? How are you dealing with this?

HR and engineering are also suffering casualties. I think that this will truly be a company-wide thing and that no group will remain whole before it's all over.

This is not a small number of people to lay off. If it's being done in one on one meetings, then it's going to take some time to get it all done. Meaning, a lot of us might have to wait for weeks to know if we're being laid off or not. I know many... — read more 

Do we know which arenas are taking the hits? I know sales lost a few…but that’s the extent of my knowledge

It’s all about Mikey’s $$. Always has been. Always will be.

Just curious if there is a standard title for the 1x1 email people receive.

Anyone heard anything about the layoffs yet?

Anyone care to share severance package details? Also is it possible to volunteer to be laid off?

SEC filing in Jan 2023 says 133,000 employees. There were 165,000 Sept 2022. With this round it is more like 25% since last fall. Good luck to everyone

So, our group has just been told that none of us are affected by the layoffs. Tbh I was really hoping I would be one of the ones cut. Does anyone know if there will be an option of voluntary redundancy? It's not something I'd broach with my manager... — read more

Does anyone have numbers on the layoffs for the UK teams based in Dublin ? I’ve not heard of any layoffs yet in Cherrywood.

Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

I went thru these posts. Lots of people seem to be getting next week’s 1x1s scheduled during the weekend. I don’t think they do that. Must vary dept to dept

If I take a sick day then can they really lay me off? How can I get un-WFR’d by dodging it???

Tomorrow the axe will be swinging.

I found this site because I was looking for news stories or leaks on upcoming Dell decisions, some of which I already know of. Read quite a few of the posts and replies, laughable or just a weird sadness. I felt some sort of obligation to post what I... — read more 

Does he even believe in it? He is gutting SFDC success mgrs big time.

After next week, the ship of Dell will begin the process of righting it self.

Makes me suspect. To clean and to forthcoming. When it sounds to good to be true.

Total debt at DellHell is at $27.33 billion.

Some are even anticipating that the size of this round of layoffs could reach 9%. Any thoughts?

I saw nothing out of sorts. Nothing is going to happen mMcFly

This nonsense about low performers, sure it’s a factor. It’s about money and if they like you or you’re related. Performance is not going to matter if you stay, when you have double the work and are next out the door. Lower cost is a driver in... — read more 

I am an I10, but have been an M10 in the past. I have helped with analyzing performance, and have had to lay one person off. Ideally there is a metric like quota attainment to compare people to their peers. Another example metric I have used is... — read more 

I'm tired of Dell and the overall "big company" culture and structure. One of the main reasons why I never applied to a startup before was job security. As that is no longer something any of the big companies are offering either, I have no reason not... — read more 

How is TSB business doing overall? Any chances for reductions? I'm worried. Telco business in general is down globally with this economy.

Of course I'm anxious, but the prevailing feeling is that I will finally get out of this place which makes me happy.

Hi. Can anyone confirm if Inspire points can be used after termination or can you negotiate for more inspire points in the severance package? I’m 50 points short of a new air fryer that I have had my eye on for months. If I am laid off, the new air... — read more 

Stop thinking that next week will change something for you. As soon as the cuts are done, you'll be seeing more rumors about the next round. I'm betting you it's going to happen within a day. That's how it works now. Cuts are a fact of life you have... — read more 

nothing. Feb 6 is the next real hot layoff day. Really super serious this time right? Care to guess what will happen? Nothing. Remember in scooby doo they unmask the ghost at the end of every show? Hint: it's the ghost of laid-off past.

I dont think there will be any layoffs next week, can anyone confirm if next week is real ? And state your source

As long as they are fully done with layoffs next week I'll be happy, whether I'm affected or not. This wait and the endless speculation are ki-ling me. I need to move on and get to the point where I'm able to fully focus on my work (or search for a... — read more
