There is absolutely no motivation at Dell. Everyone in my group and across my team is just going through the motions. There is no direction, no strategy, just explaining to id10t$ how software is supposed to work and get delivered. Absolutely... — read more
Layoffs not happening
spoke with my manager and he has said he has heard nothing about layoffs so I doubt they will happen
Imagine if the actual low performers are let go
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
I’m literally suffocating here
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

Will coming massive layoffs make any difference?
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.
Can anyone shed real light on August ?
What size of a layoff will happen in August ? Will it be global?
What's currently the best alternative to Dell?
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

Dell is not irrelevant
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
Is there a point in layoffs?
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
Upcoming Layoffs
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.

Just a rumor, or it’s happening?
