Updates to hybrid policy.

Not to be lost in all the layoffs, there were comments in certain posts a week or two ago about updates to the hybrid policy coming this month. Something about # of hours in office being tracked to prevent coffee badge swiping. Any news on this or... — read more 

Remote vs Hybrid

It’s cool that Dell specifically stated that hybrid workers would be at less risk of layoffs than full time remote workers, then proceeded to just wholesale lay off 12,500 employees without regard for that statement. Very trustworthy leadership. — read more 

Getting leaner?

Why does Dell need 2 Presidents of sales?? Scannell and Byrne?? Let’s start at the top

Dell total number of employees in 2024 was 120,000

I hear dell plans to get this down to 100k by the end of the year? That's another 15k WFR on top of what we have so far this year? With only 30k in USA, should we just move the company to India ? Russians need access to DELL hw - this is the best... — read more 

F U N

Has anyone else noticed that the new talking point from management is “go have fun!”? Like seriously? Go Have Fun? You just executed a bloodbath of a layoff, glossed over it, the stock is tanking and morale amongst everyone I talk to is pretty much... — read more

No margin in Dell AI server business

Super Micro reported 11% gross margins. They are driving prices down and Dell can't compete on cost structure it appears, hence the layoffs and new GTM strategy. How bad is the EMC storage biz after losing VMWare distribution business? Imagine EMC... — read more 

Human Experimentation

This layoff has nothing to do with what they say the reasons are. It is an experiment to gather data on employee behavior, after-effects and continued monitoring of those laid-off, etc for the purpose of training some AI model.

I have a feeling...

No proof, no insights, just a feeling this reorg might end the Michael Dell era. Not because people will move him out or are not happy with him, but just because he is done with the company. Realised his dreams and want to start a next chapter... — read more 

When people you wouldn’t trust with watering a plant

make decisions impacting thousands of livelihoods and a huge, once very relevant corporation, all you get is a mess. I’m convinced none of the layoffs and cuts are being made with the future in mind, just with immediate issues on the market. It’s all... — read more 

Slow news out of Ireland

Does anyone know anything about Ireland redundancy? And would you mind letting me know what the package is. I’m preparing myself to get notified.

Next round

Havent made this round. What are the thoughts on when the next round will be? In UK sales.

Remote vs Hybrid

So…for anyone that was cut (my apologies, hope your ok) Did Dell use hybrid vs remote when considering the cuts or was it just slash anyone and everyone they could?

No HR on the line?

Who else was laid off without HR on the line? I was shocked when my supervisor started reading a script to me and there was no one else on the call. Shouldn’t at least a third-party be included?

12,500 let go yesterday

In one day, 12,500 families lost their livelihoods. In a single day. Do you think somebody at the top cares about any of that? Does any single one of them feel even a slight discomfort after ruining so many lives? I know, that's too much to ask for... — read more 

Affected teams

I'm going to assume that the teams that were affected yesterday are safe going forward?

Is Dell targeting older workers?

Everyone that I know that got WFR'd was older. Was their retirement "runway" a factor? Are they discriminating against employees based on age? Is it time for another lawsuit similar to... — read more

Dell's fall print budgets

I work in advertising and recently learned that Dell's fall print budgets were cut two weeks ago, which makes sense. Additionally, Intel had issued a major RFP that they withdrew last week, just before the news broke about their mass layoffs and... — read more

More than a Dell number

Not sure if I will be on the list this time around but many will be. 2 years ago in front of my team I basically had my a-s handed to me by a manager for the world to see. That evening I had had enough and was under a lot of pressure in both my... — read more
