This is a total cash grab by Dell Technologies. Layoffs are NOT needed. They are taking advantage of the economic uncertainty caused by Covid and grabbing cash to pay down the debt faster. There has been two consecutive great quarters despite the... — read more 

I am already a complete mess - if there're going to be layoffs I'd rather hear about the results today than have to go through this same feeling for another several days. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. But sadly, from the look... — read more

I thought layoffs were supposed to start on Thursday? Yet I see some people in the comments saying some have already been laid off today? Is this true? Can we get any more info on it if it is?

COO just announced layoffs in our internal earnings call. "Small percentage", no other details

11 laid off today. Mostly Legacy EMC. Totally blindsided us and it was clearly about saving money. Given one week notice and no advance opportunity to look within the company for other roles. My reviews have been stellar every year since the merger... — read more

Ignore the estimates and computer generated posts, wait till you see the numbers. Server, Storage, Software, Client devices. Up or down that will tell you where we are headed

In the past they did a week for every year employed? anything like that now?

Hi, I am hearing about a good few Dell people being WFR'd, but not one ex EMC employee. Is this just the reverse takeover moving forward?

We were told in earlier posts we should expect 6% or 10k layoffs to happen incrementally across the month of August...on Thursdays. I'd say it is way too quiet today for that to be true. A good sign hopefully that there are fewer than anticipated. — read more 

Less than 50k after tax and a thank you for 4 years of service. To all the people who said a WFR is a lotto ticket it's not. Ive got a few weeks to go find a job in this climate. Be grateful you have one

Dell should keep “Tell Dell” open in a truly anonymous forum (no cookies or other tracking) all of the time so stressed employees don’t resort to asking desperate questions on boards like this one. MD, BS,JB are great leaders. I don’t believe... — read more 

Is severance based on base pay or total OTE for sales. Can’t blame Dell. No one wants to downsize really.... if this was your company then you’d be forced with making tough decisions. 6% cut means 94% kept jobs. In this tough world, I’d say that’s... — read more

Anyone hit this week with a mystery calendar invite yet? Rumor said this would happen all month if it truly is a 6% reduction. Just curious if there is any early week activity to report.

The way to counteract rumors is to be transparent and our execs always fail in that area. Several BS announcements from top execs this week on how innovative the company is and embraces WFH , nothing about the overall plan . And then there is... — read more

6% Global reduction and all coming down over the next 4 weeks. About 10,000 people by the looks of it? Waiting for the internal announcement but it had to come. Good luck to all with 1:1's booked like me...

Got an impromptu meeting, leadership hopped on and delivered the news that we had lost several team members due to a company wide work force reduction. Anyone else seeing the same? Was told it is will be company wide.

Just interested to know is it dead out there or what? I dont know how long the industry could take running with such a large downturn in revenue and customers.

Dell has started hiring in certain business units. It’s a good sign of recovery. Not sure why managers say hiring freeze.

Would rather leadership say that we need to load the targets so high to reduce payroll and keep jobs in Corona than pretending they are remotely possible. We are all adults and we can take the news.

have you heard anything about voluntary separations? It would be a great thing as I know so many people who would take the money and leave the next day. Why would they lay off employees who would stay then?

Dell so far has done one of the best jobs we can see in COVID. We've kept staff, kept work going and adapted to the WFH VC grind. How long that can last is anyone's guess, but the world has changed and the need for vast numbers of direct face to... — read more

Good, smart idea, why wouldnt they. Sell 30%, keep 51%, pay off tens of billions in debt or buy more companies that are in coronacrash. Smart move Mikey

No mass layoffs , its always been this way . They tried the mass layoff route before and it did not work out well . Instead its been a slow trickle of layoffs since the EMC merger and we have had WFR hanging over us ever since. The layoffs continue... — read more

Admitting that I really have no idea.... can someone explain why managers have to sign NDA’s before restructuring details are shared? Does this absolutely mean layoff’s or what might other reasons could a NDA bee needed. Thanks.

Any layoffs in Round Rock this month?
