It is important to note that today is 14th. Tomorrow will be 15th, 3 days from 12th and nothing happened yet. WW is coming
EMC employee
Was moved from Nashua exit 8 office to EqualLogic building in exit 1. What a culture shock, most freelancing environment. Haven't experience anything this bad. Bad air, bad employees and very bad morale and haven't seen any work being done. There is... — 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.
Rumors are Rumors
I agree there is a lot of misinformation going on in this site. I think there are a lot of people from both competition and disgruntled employees venting at the frustration of what is going on. I don't think there will be major layoffs like before... — read more
Why can't you all enjoy free paycheck
Any one in storage Hopkinton, MDC, , NDC, Seattle, California, RR Texas. Honestly, have we done anything to deserve to be paid. All those ethical and hard working employees were either left or laid off. Pay attention, We all knew Michael Dell is not... — read more
who got the incentive cash?
I was laid off 6 months ago, but Dell EMC did not want to give the 10,000 dollars to me. How to get it back?
No more reliable posts
When I first starting reading this blog 2 months ago, someone posted an entry with exact date of the layoffs and it turned out to be true. That's when I thought this site has some credebility. However, lately this place has turned to a graveyard of... — read more
July 13th is tomorrow!!!
Prepare for the cuts
Are we getting pay cuts in addition or instead of layoffs?
They can change any part of your compensation whenever it suits them as long as they do it by the book which usually means notification in advance of the start of the commission period in the case of "at risk" compensation. Back in January there was... — read more
Should I complain?
I have proof of retaliation. I got a new job offer and accepted. Should I complain to EEOC or move on?
July 12 is tomorrow
I remember the 5% off to avoid some layoffs. Was it on 2009?? I want to see mgmt blood instead of ICs. They have tremendous salaries, bonus.
Good luck tomorrow
My boss let slip that in 'two weeks we'll see" when I asked him about July layoffs that would be the 12th. He also got antsy when I told him I was traveling that week as they don't like laying you off if your on the road..... guess the handwriting is... — read more
1:1 tomorrow
Will have a meeting tomorrow. Pls share yours!!! Bunch of zzz based on hr comments.
What is with July 12?
Why so much talk about July 12? It's always a good idea to have resume and LinkedIn updated regardless. Somebody can be shown the door at anytime - never fun and can be a hassle but it is life. So always a good idea if u can to get your stuff in... — read more
If you are borderline stupid and can talk to please. Join Dell because that is what 99.99% management are made of.
Honestly who needs the L5s and L4s when all they ever do is kiss a-- and wait for their L3 to hold their fat hands
See you in 2 weeks
My boss let slip that in 'two weeks we'll see" when I asked him about July layoffs that would be the 12th. He also got antsy when I told him I was traveling that week as they don't like laying you off if your on the road..... guess the handwriting is... — read more
Dell EMC in July
July month is here any news on the July 12. I saw bunch of zzz on July 1st in Pivotal that happened silently, mostly in customer support and management side. Lets hope for the best on July 12th!@
Cyclone is a joke
Fundamentally Cyclone project is wrong. It's not new or next generation. It's a product with bit and prices from Dell and Emc storage and all project and program managers knew it will fail. It will never be released and/or customers will not buy... — read more
July is it the month

We are the Champions - MRES Storage is Upbeat
My heart swells with pride to be part of the Mid Range Entry level storage group. We have achieved 100% of our overall forecast. Unity crossed $1 billion sales in one year. Dell and Goulden were so enthused with their inspiring address. Mr Dell wants... — read more
Funny to watch layoff , fake news etc
All one has to do is look at the earnings. I guess many are afraid to venture out and get another job
No layoffs
EqualLogic still making money, SC Compellent s---s and no layoffs in Hopkinton until end of October. Enjoy your summer.
Seattle
Project managers and network engineers have apparently already started getting chopped. HR people were chopped a little while back. The scuttlebutt is the entire Seattle office is going to be shuttered.
Isilon is at the gallows
Massive layoffs starting at Dell EMC Isilon in Seattle. Condolences to the s---ers who actually believed Michael Dell that he wasn't going to do that.
QA the fall guy!!!
How common is QA used as a punching bag? Can QA be held responsible for the project delays??? Is it a healthy practice to have a tame QA Manager (aka rubber_stamp) report into SW Engineering Development Director (aka nut_cracker)? Share….your story... — read more
Might be the decision week
I realized today that my manager has bunch of meetings titled "Private Meeting" this week and most of them are in 171 South street. It's quite unusual because he rarely has meetings outside of 228. I think higher ups are asking for names to roll... — read more

Better start trimming
Dell EMC storage has so much of fluff. Teams working on products which do not have any roadmap. Thick management layers with Senior Directors and directors reporting to directors reporting to directors. Senior managers reporting to senior managers... — read more
It's obvious
Reading thorough these posts it's easy to see. Things aren't going so swell- Somebody better Tell Dell!
Cheers to EMC
The combination of DELL EMC offerings will bring solutions to market that cannot be offered by any competitor. I get it. It's a fantastic thing. I'm not the first to express how thankful I am to have been a part of the EMC legacy. I've watched... — read more

Storage is dead
Storage is dead - 3 years ago a VMAX was 11 bays wide - now it only takes 1/2 a bay for same storage capacity - wait a few more years and it will be in a shoe box or on a memory board in the server
PIPs should be rolling out soon
It is the season as they say.
