It’s like family at Dell.I don’t think our managers would just send an email. It’s going to be based on performance. That is what is happening. Just work on making Dell a better place and it will work out.

Firing by email is a new thing.Corporations really care about you...................

Managers were asked to prepare a list of their bottom 5% employees. The next step is probably Legal choosing who can be fired with minimal risk. With some luck we’ll get this nice piece of coal right in time for Christmas.

The leadership obviously decides to cut everything that can be cut, at the cost of making a huge and irreparable mistake. How massive will these layoffs be?

Is the external hiring freeze still active? Any ideas when external hiring will resume?

Dell will move all ISG installs to 3rd party Unisys starting Nov 1 with vxrail and data domain. By Feb 1 all products will be installed by 3rd party. Expect massive layoffs if you work field customer service.

Market Cap 23m, no expenses allowed, lots of management meetings, but massive revenues. Lots of execs selling stock. We are clearly a buyout on the market. Who is buying us?

General inkling is Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) result in a termination... but why even bother with these plans? Can you get severance at the end of a PIP when you're terminated? Any experience with this?

Rumours are another acquisition. We are still on expense freeze and layoffs and hiring freeze, brutal cost controls but the sales are all going well.

What do you call a bad sweatshop worker? Unsatisfactory.

Did anyone leave Dell for some time and then decided to come back? Are they welcoming? I heard it is the best way to get a promotion.

Anyone hear of more cuts? Have an offer which is kind of open ended on a start date (friend of a friend). Dell is making me really depressed so would like to start sooner rather than later but dont want to miss out on any package. Even if it is a... — read more

Rumors of remaining sales people having workloads doubled and many demotions. Those receiving the WFR may turn out to be the lucky ones.
