spoke with my manager and he has said he has heard nothing about layoffs so I doubt they will happen

I don't think anybody would be complaining about layoffs if that was the case. But we all know that would mean we'd lose so many useless managers and we can't have that. Who would be going from a pointless meeting to a pointless meeting to go over... — read more 

Doing a job that I don’t like, which is getting me nowhere and will probably end abruptly one of these days with all those layoffs coming. It’s hard to be motivated under the circumstances. I know you’ll tell me to search for another job. I’ve been... — read more 

Where can one get their’s?

In my location in Europe, until yesterday there were about 20 job postings for my site but now they are all removed. We all know what this means, its happening

Is there a strategy behind it? Anything that will make life better for those who remain? Any plans that will dig out Dell from the hole? Layoffs just for the sake of layoffs are disheartening.

What size of a layoff will happen in August ? Will it be global?

F(M?)AANG is no longer it. Too many layoffs at all of those companies to still make them a desirable workplace. Meanwhile, all of our competitors have the exact same issues as we are having. Toxic work environment, layoffs, erosion of benefits, etc... — read more

Two weeks to go to layoffs!

Dell is a commodity hardware provider. Dell only has 3 competitors in PCs and servers. Because there are few competitors incompetence can flourish. Leadership can get away with being extraordinary and shockingly ineffective and the business will not... — read more 

We do have more people than we need. But beyond that I don’t see any strategy to job cuts, any long-term development plans, any purpose or design beyond just cost-cutting via layoffs. That may extend life, but it definitely sounds more like... — read more 

Was told there will be a round first week of August and they’re already planning additional rounds in Oct/Nov timeframe. Will these ever end? Expect a lot of shifts in groups including some groups shifting completely between L2 leaders.

Hearing this from upper management in every single meeting/town hall. It's clear that they are digging their heels in in response to Tell Dell and external media reporting half of Dell staying remote. It's going to get worse and confirms their plans... — read more 

I wish there was a possibility for Dell to be acquired. At least that would give us a chance at getting good leadership that would know how to run this place properly. Outside of that, we're stuck with the ELT that only knows how to solve... — read more 

How do layoffs work in Dell ? Who makes the decisions on people to leave, who would know about the potential impact at this stage, is it at SVP level ? Or would it filter down to directors

I’ve been scouting for a new job for a while now, and I have some options on the table. I just got incredibly bored with working at Dell, and my financial situation is not bad. However, I understand that many of us are not in the same position like I... — read more 

Is there a waiting period due to severance, if it's allowed?

Does anyone know if it's mostly sales that will be affected in August ? Will engineering be left alone ?

Woke up this morning to notes from 5 friends in India that had been informed that the clock is now ticking on their 2 months til exiting. All in Software development in Bangalore (Bangaluru).

My husband was referred to a new employee relations group recently. Is this new? Is it for the protection of employees or for the benefit of the company?

Which org is best for advancement and what are the drawbacks of each one?

If it’s so BIG, why so low key now?

Any insider views into modern dell and the impact?

Been told by mgmt in marketing that new roles will come about after the restructure. Is this legit or is mgmt trying to prevent attrition from junior/mid lvl talent?

Can anyone comment with what % reductions are coming in next few weeks ? Is there a formal email going out ?

just head honcho restructuring and eventual moving teams around again. Layoffs never start from the top down. Too much choas

Just a rumor, or it’s happening?

I wonder if this is simply the beginning of layoffs, or, maybe it's something else. The rumor mill has it layoffs will happen starting the latter part of this month into late August. *It will be a sad day for many. No matter what you think of... — read more
