I feel more tired now than on the workdays. I just hope this horror show will be over soon. I’ve been worrying so much that at this point I'm flatlining. I wish us all luck. To those who want to be laid off, those who want/need to stay, and... — read more 

Is everyone prepared? Just got off the phone to my high friend, she said it’s looking like a bloodbath from the information she has been given Stay safe all! Look out for your loved ones!

What has everyone heard? Hearing this week will be the one with 100+ expected redundancies.

Any idea on which teams are getting impacted?

Reading this forum, I came to a conclusion that everybody hates their job and can't wait to get out of here. Yet, now that layoffs are coming, everybody is panicking and stressing. Why? Is there a better way to leave the company you hate than being... — read more 

I know nobody is safe but some groups are bound to be at more risk than others. Who should be the most worried?

Not sure what is true here or not. But it seems clear something is going happen, maybbbe this week. Wishing all my collegues the best and hope you're not impacted whatever happens or gets announced. Best regards from Spain

My manager in India thinks we are safe this time, and I haven't heard of anyone around me in India being affected or even having a one-on-one meeting. This is reassuring for me, but I don't want to be caught off guard. Is this the case for others in... — read more 

My managers just send us a Monday 10.00 am (30 min.) team meeting. Mandatory for those not being on vacation. Special note made that our GM will join. Wondering what this will be all about.

Layoffs are bad in themselves, but the current state of the job market is making everything seem so much scarier. There are not many jobs available and it appears that a good part of those that are available don't pay even close to what I make now... — read more 

Working with the development team is awful. Full of egotistical developers stuck in their way. Any suggestion on improvements is met with hostility. Does anyone know why this is?

A closely watched recession indicator flashed Friday after a weak July jobs report showed an unexpected surge in the unemployment rate.

I’m really interested in how many Hybrid workers lose their jobs vs the 50% of company-wide Remotes. This will tell the story.

Masters in building up the tension and anxiety.

Have any of the US based sales teams received the invites? None of the salespeople I know have received one yet.

I’ll never understand the logic of waiting until Monday to drop the hammer, if they would just give us to scoop on a Friday afternoon we’d all have a couple days to digest the changes……. Instead we all get a gut punch to start the quarter, lame. — read more 

Does anyone know if DFS is going to be affected?

Rumors of sales staffs already getting the chop.

Why Dell wanted to acquire a company with so many issues and massive debt it beyond me. Their employees were also quite snooty and unwilling to assist during the merger and continue that way to this date. Must be all the Dunkin' Donuts up there... — read more 

Layoffs have begun

The market doesn't like dell all of a sudden

Cherrywood Dublin has started cuts over the last few days. Senior roles only as of today and we have been told AE's,ISR's and TSR's all safe but who knows how long for.

My take based on what’s going on. Anybody can be impacted, no matter if a manager says, “currently we are not impacted”. It is going to be big, and everybody is theoretically at risk, no expectations. Dell has always been this way, so don’t see this... — read more 

Intel is leading the way toward maximizing the corporate profits by cutting 15% of its workforce!! Pat has the guts to do it. Michael should take a... — read more 

Is marketing affected?

Some claim only sales will be affected next week. Is that true? Is the rest safe for now?

From below post, if you get "Business Update or 1X1" then you're toast. If so, some suggest LinkedIn, recruiters, networking with coworkers, etc. What I did - I went to past employees here on this layoff site, plus I looked up what some recruiters... — read more 

I remember the C19 layoffs, then there was a scheduled invite; from what I heard I think you got a 'business meeting request' and your manager was on the invite too. If that's the case, I wonder if we know of which group heads that up. I'd be curious... — read more

Dell is my world because I live and breathe this company. I have no outside life because I live to work and I don't have any family or friends than Dell. Dell is my family as Dell has always said we're family. How can I avoid the WFR if I'm on the... — read more

What's your perception of 5G group within Dell. We are not doing great and don't think we have a product and money to compete against primary RAN vendors. I'm worried, this is one of those area that might get axed if reduction happens.

TBD, but My inside friends say this is likely that board and M.Dell decided to gut EMC ranks that have been running the company after realizing storage sales have dropped Q-Q Y-y for yrs. yet that part of the sales organization called core teams... — read more 

It starts on Monday or at the end of this week? Anyone have any new info?

Isn’t it odd that the OKC office Olympics were rescheduled from next week? Makes sense they wouldn’t want a crowd in office….. Also, my account alignment is all jacked up, seems like change is clearly in the air.
