I left a few months ago, and we were already understaffed as it was. I hope those who were let go find new opportunities soon. It won’t be easy for those who remain, either.

i just understand why the company lost w its employees and customers.

I used to proudly tell people to apply at Dell, now I actively steer them away. Between the constant cuts, clueless leadership, and zero room to grow, this place isn’t what it used to be. If you’ve got other options, take them.

With the spans and layers being confirmed today, will there be layoffs next week or will they let things settle for a few months
