Heard some people got a two week notice last friday (nov 5th) ?? Is this part of matching numbers with the VMW spinoff ? This isn't their typical time of the year

Has anyone that hasn't been vaccinated yet opened an HR case to check if they're included in the federal vaccination requirement? They had mentioned it was necessary to open an HR case by 11/5 and I was wondering what the HR response was like.

Buy me out!

Dell thinks everyone is easily replaceable, but that's not the case. If by replacement they mean to replace an excellent employee who has the expertise, skills and experience, with an employee who has none of that - then it is true, everyone is ... — read more 

Is it just happening to me or are the deadlines at Dell becoming increasingly unreasonable? I have a lot of experience thanks to which I still somehow manage to meet the deadlines, but I have a colleague who did not come here so long ago and who is... — read more 

What is the perceived consequences for those requesting to not get the shot, willing to be tested, but still being targeted to be terminated?

Seriously.I have just had enough of this company. I have worked at this company for over 20 years and have had my fair share of ups and downs, as well as Dell being very supportive over the years and also working with some great team members and... — read more 

You already knew this was happening with the offshore sales desk that started a couple of years ago. Hiring H-1B's while you're laying off US employees... by the way H-1B's are not cheap to sponsor, but probably cheaper than US employee benefits... — read more 

My last post when I dared say Dell is not that bad as an employer as some say got heavily downvoted but here we are several weeks later and Dell once again ranked among the top ten world's best employers. Considering that Forbes uses employee surveys... — read more 

It’s a mess, just watch Deepak, the ring leader of the mess, he will be out. How many jobs will have to pay the price for his snake oil.

Two weeks since Dell announced some cuts I’ve spent hoping that I might find myself on the layoff list but nothing happened. I’m glad at least that some other people, who were afraid of it, that they are still there. Do you know how many people were... — read more 

Does Dell ever push back on state unemployment benefits for laid off employees? I have to re-up and unemployment is waiting a response. Thanks everyone!

When I think back to my first month when I came to Dell, I was very enthusiastic and tried to show everything I know, and I didn’t really know all that much. However, I had colleagues who pointed out some things to me and helped me. What is... — read more 

Say what you will, but Dell is still among the best employers. I've worked at several other industry giants before and I know the true definition of a toxic culture. What we have is certainly not it. I think people are simply too sensitive these days... — read more

Every company has to change, but the problem is that I don't see Dell changing for the better. Today I am quite depressed because another colleague has left. Now this feels like a completely different company for me. All the colleagues I really... — read more 

If implemented fully at Dell, the vaccine mandate will force some people to quit. Not too many, but enough to slow down any possible layoffs that were coming our way (or maybe even cancel them altogether.) As somebody who's been fully vaccinated for... — read more 

Good way to thin out the difficult team members. Sorry "layoff"

This smells of tuning numbers and creative accountancy.. Or at least the investors think so. They say Tom Sweet has artistic mind. What is your take?

I’ve heard some rumors that there could be significant layoffs soon, but hopefully they’ll just remain rumors. Some managers are leaving so there is a lot of speculation going around, however, unfortunately, rumors often come true. I’m not... — read more 

Lots of openings because they are always having under-the-radar layoffs of older and/or higher paid employees, as well as offshoring and replacing American workers. This is exactly what's been happening. If we don't hear about major layoffs that's... — read more 

I can't wait to see! Will be very, very interesting

My guess: by 20%. Dell will report 20% higher earnings than the estimates and the stock will jump by at least 15%. Buy Dell stock now otherwise you will regret big time! Go big or go home, people!

Employees are given lots of promises but Dell delivers none of that...... I don’t see those good changes.

Everything will be much clearer after the earnings report, however, judging by the atmosphere... the future is gloomy. I hope I’m not right, but to me personally it seems like the layoffs are around the corner.

Earnings are on Aug 26, 2021, then we will know how things are going , in the meantime most of the posts here are complete BS

I can’t and unfortunately, I’m not optimistic that next year could be nice at Dell. I’m willing to accept a much worse option just to not stay here anymore. This is not a company, this is a dinosaur.

Dell could soon become better known for its constant reorgs and layoffs happening in silence, than for new products. Job stability is a utopia, but here I am really tired of being in constant fear of what the new reorganization will bring. Do... — read more
