Dell has started to offer long tenured employees who are close to retirement age packages. Their last day is this Friday (9/16). This is across the organization and in no specific group. Some of the people being offered packages don't seem very happy... — read more
Just had our "Team" meeting
We briefly touched on the layoffs without going into any specifics.. SHOCKER.. It was stated that layoffs were done for now... "At least for the next 4-5 months." I have a hunch more is coming after the holidays. Has anyone had similar meetings... — read more
Management styles
Is it just me or am I the only one that sees some of the management styles within Dell as counter-productive unconstructive and effortless. IE your management is all talk and no do. As well as some other positions that could be repurposed and... — read more
Sometimes the damage done is irreparable
If there was any motivation left, it's all gone now. Instead of the company making every effort to keep the best employees, Dell gets rid of them. I watched as they cut some of the best employees while retaining the most incompetent ones. Do... — read more
Major layoffs
I work for Dell Romania.. I get on really well with my manager and we had a quiet word over coffee. He has heard that massive layoffs are coming down the line. He had no timeline, that's all he had heard.
Layoffs supposedly done for now
Had a meeting earlier today - leaders have a script to read from and everything. Not sure how long into the future this will persist but supposedly we’ll get official word from ELT after folks laid off exit (so after the 16th). Anyone else get... — read more
If you have kept your skills updated, you shouldn't worry
I've been laid off twice during my almost three decades long career. Each time was scary, but each time I ended up in a better position afterward. There are many employers who can appreciate experience and knowledge and are willing to pay for it. It... — read more
How the outlook has changed since May...
https://blocksandfiles.com/2022/05/06/a-glimpse-of-dells-future/ Early September: we expect a severe crisis and revenue impact, so we need every $ we fear that people will leave, the good ones go first (but 1. is true for every company, right... — read more
I’m sorry for everyone
I jumped ship long ago, but I absolutely remember the fear associated with mass layoffs. After years of devotion, people are tossed aside just so recent graduates can learn what was just discarded. Dell consumed the best years of your life, made... — read more
Leaders only see what they want to see
My impression is that the leadership does not want to see the real picture. I don't know how else to explain some of their bad moves. I would be very worried if I were the leader of a company that everyone wants to leave. Those at the top seem to... — read more
Recent layoffs
Those that were let go recently, did anyone receive severance
This is the Strategy
From Dell CFO “ – Dell’s leadership team is also focused on developing young talent. “We continue to invest and hire in the undergraduate space,” Sweet says. “We wanted to ensure our entry-level programs into Dell, and our campus-level programs... — read more
The 15th?
Many Dell engineers have to take mandatory 'skills assesment' due by the 14th. Wonder why. It's not over yet people.
As Dell burns we shall fiddle.

Only US layoffs?
Anywhere else having them?
This was the push I needed
Seeing them lay off employees once again based on how much somebody is making and not based on their contributions proved to me how little Dell cares about us. We're nothing but numbers here. I know this is not exclusive to Dell but I also know for a... — read more
Layoffs in marketing or sales ops?
Heard that this past week was mostly sales teams impacted but wondering if marketing or sales ops layoff are also on the horizon, or already happening
Working from bed
I work from bed for 20 mins a day for Dell and get paid a huge salary . Working from bed is awesome.
This will soon be a company without talent
The most incompetent people I ever worked with are still there. There are still a lot of talented people at Dell, but it's becoming more and more obvious that there is no room for them here. Why is that so? Why let the talent go to the competition... — read more
Best manager I ever had, laid off
Feeling terrible, my manger of 1.5 years, best manager I've ever had, been at the company 5 years, doing incredible things for the team and Dell as a whole, gets laid off no warning. Really sad time. I wish him the very best finding a new better... — read more
Bill Clark should be fired
All leadership in Services should be replaced. Bill Clark is full of sh-t, he is a horrible leader. Always repeating the same speech in every meeting for the last 6 years, pathetic leadership, zero ba--s to own up to missing his number by millions. — read more
That's it!

Why we should not get freaked out by some layoff news
DELL has proven its ability to execute again and again with so many blockbuster quarters in the recent years. But even the greatest companies have to, from time to time, perform necessary clean up which will by the way instill sense of urgency of its... — read more
Promoted, then layed off.
I was promoted after a sales career into a leadership role, only to be layed off my 2nd quarter into the role. Leadership is talking about bringing in new talent and our record profit quarters, but they're letting a ton of great people go while... — read more
Laid off yesterday
I’ve been an isr 1 for about a year and a half and got the call from hr smh.
People leader laid off today
I am a people leader with 19 years between EMC and Dell and I was just laid off today. Came out of left field. Nobody has asked me for any names from my team. Another peer (individual contributor) was also let go 30 minutes before me. So much for... — read more
Cost-cutting strategies
It seems to me that the leadership is not considering any options other than reducing the headcount. Are there any cost-cutting measures at Dell that don't involve layoffs?

Redundancies in small numbers in APJ
Morale is zero
My morale is zero, but I guess there are a lot of people who started to despise their job here. What is the management doing to raise morale? Pretty much nothing.
September layoffs confirmed?
Are the rumors true?
