Those people who knows how to kiss a-- managers will be fine as they always been. No layoffs can or will impact low performers and insiders who are managers favorites. You don't have to work or contribute, just sell or bad mouth your colleagues. You... — read more
The good ol' times
Do you remeber the good old times when EMC was almighty and powerful and when all Carnegie Mellon PhDs would show an interest in an EMC position? https://youtu.be/wWCA5Ttw3Bs
Misleading claim: 94% of Fortune 50 companies run on VMAX.
This statement is part of recently circulated claim by EMC executives. And then the claim goes further: The new VMAX 950F raises the bar yet again for high-end all-flash storage After working for more than 18 years in the software industry and 15 of... — read more

Targeted layoffs
The Dell layoff strategy is not to knock down whole teams. But do targeted layoffs. Especially target the high net worth experienced senior folks. The strategy has been to remove these long entrenched white elephants and promote younger high... — read more

August 1st
A new month is beggining. Temperature is getting hot hot hot. People are taking their well deserved holidays but remember that our Mr. BB (belly button) will be shrinking the company. Try to save money. Layoffs are coming huge, WW impact.
Hmm
While I don't want anybody to lose thier job - I'd rather if they are going to do layoffs - they do it before the holidays - when a lot of companies are not hiring then. Layoffs are sad - there is really no way to predict them. They will happen when... — read more

Is there a positive alternative to Dell?

8 DataDomain employees laid off in RTP
This morning, 8 DataDomain employees laid off in RTP. New dell-rules are that you get to continue working for 2 weeks. Severance is 10 weeks + 1week/year of service.
Dont' listen to rumors
Yet... IMHO - Dell will make the cuts before the end of their fiscal Q2 (end of July). They need to do this as they are currently bleeding money, which needs to stop. The call will be made, and the number of employees that are needed to be cut are... — read more

Impossible Sales Targets.
Unrealistic incentivising of employee performance can go terribly awry this was seen in Wells Fargo’s. If you set your Sales Goals out of reach for your team then even your top performers can't even reach them it, they become switched off and don't... — read more

Maybe...
Maybe if they stopped wasting money - that would help! Flying managers and non- managers all over the place to meet with coworkers - when in all honesty - video chat while not as personable is a whole lot cheaper and works!! Just saying.
In sales no layoff just a huge number
The targets for customers are so high in our unit that people have given up going after deals. Morale is terrible. Bringing in the biggest deal wont get you there and just means you will be punished next quarter Sales don't get layoffs they get a... — read more

Not sure why ppl thought July 12th. I've been hearing October
It's a verifiable fact that Dell has amassed half a billion in cash to pay severance for massive layoffs to come, but I've never heard anything about July. Everyone I know says October is when the axe gets dropped on all their heads.
