Got the "Business Update" invite from my manager for next Monday, 4/15, at 9am, when all the WFRs are supposed to go out. But I had just interviewed with another Dell team this past week, was waiting to hear back from them. Seeing lots of posts... — read more

Promotions
Are promotions at Dell based on politics or your work? I think i know the answer and perhaps it is true for all of corporate america. Has anyone ever felt that they deserved a promotion but were look over as they didnt have the most cordial... — read more
Anyone heard from ISG?
Any movement next week?
13,000
"So, have you heard about this trend of laying off 13,000 people? I mean, what's the deal with that? Are they trying to set some kind of record? It's like, 'Hey, let's see how many people we can let go in one fell swoop!' And then they probably have... — read more
13,000 Sinking ship
word is out
Let's discuss April 15th. Any truth to the rumor?
I haven't heard anything solid.
Why would I stay?
Why would I stay here? This leadership is horrible. All they do is plan. They talk about plans, they review plans, they go around and around and around. Execution? None. Nothing is real. People are leaving or getting laid off totally random... — read more
Dell quality issues
A few months ago, my windows 11 dell Inspiron 15 Laptop displayed a popup that the battery had been damaged and needed to be replaced. This had no large effect until a few weeks ago, when the battery could no longer hold a charge whatsoever. Here are... — read more
Solid Info
Anyone got any real info out there? I have finally had enough of Dell and I am looking to give notice period in the coming days. If an offer is on the table I could stay for another few months but I have never hated a job or been so miserable in my... — read more
ONLY A re-org
No layoffs planned for near future. Just re-org only.
Any info on the US Services Org?
First off, don’t say we are useless… we are a multi-billion dollar revenue generating organization. We had 2 very senior (any well regarded) directors “retire” last week. What’s going to happen to us, the peons?
Reorganized tomorrow?
What’s happening? Which orgs/teams are impacted?
Do not take Tell Dell
Why waste our time. This will send more of a message than taking it
April rumours
Anyone have any update? Staying at Dell is soul destroying but would rather be pushed than jump.
All you can do is be prepared
In the grand scheme of things, it truly doesn't matter if cuts are coming this week or this month or not. What matters is that you should be fully prepared to handle it if and when it happens. That's the only way you can successfully function in... — read more

Dell used to make me feel valued as an employee
Not only do I not feel that way anymore, I feel like I'm being disrespected constantly as somebody who doesn't matter at all. It's like the company underwent a complete change in priorities and decided that employees are no longer one of its most... — read more
Insider info on global marketing reorganization?
Anyone have information on the reorgs happening in global marketing? It feels like some big shifts are coming..

Nearly 60,000 tech layoffs so far in 2024 and ‘more pain to come’

Turnover at Dell is Insane
I started in Q1FY23 and went through Dell Sales Academy with a group of about 35. I only know of 6 people that are still at the company. The high performers were laid off in under 2 years, most others left for higher pay than the pennies Dell gives... — read more
"Voluntary" Severance
I know that voluntary severance isn't an option but has anyone here signalled their intention to their boss in the past? Has anyone bypassed their boss and gone to HR to inform them you'd be willing to take severance? How was this received?
What's Up with Dell?
What's up with Dell, huh? One minute you're cruising along, making decent money, you got a nice house, wife, couple dogs or children and then BAM! You find yourself servicing someone for a nickel in a dr-g store parking lot! Got a health issue? ... — read more
Dell Channel Going Away
I work on the direct side of the business and my colleagues said the next round of layoffs are coming and we are finally getting rid of channel. Any truth to this. It would be nice to not have my organization hit for once.
Annual merit increase
Shouldn’t the annual merit increase be visible in workday today?
Next 40 years - how about you focus on the next 40 days
Dell - you're talking about the next 40 years. That couldn't be more arrogant and nausea such. How about you get your sh#t together for the next 40 days, ok? Less talk, more do. Got it?
Corrective courses are PIP related
Part of the PIP process is to be assigned a course to help you navigate the process ie take corrective actions to reverse the PIP. I am sorry this happened to you.
Corrective Maintenance Course?
I ve been auto assigned some training on my learning but there is no link in the email. I ve heard several other people got the same, any idea what that is? My Learning: SRS - Corrective Maintenance - SABA 3
I've never looked for a new job this aggressively
The situation at Dell has deteriorated so much that it finally gave me the motivation I needed to roll up my sleeves and start looking.
IBEW
Where is the IBEW ? We need to organize !!
Dell stock all time high
thanks Dell keep working hard. 13,000 gone in the past year when we need another boast will just 🪓 another 13k.
PIP process is back
Remember before COVID they had autopips? They are back.
Remote vs Hybrid
This whole exercise looks like its penalizing the hybrid workers. The disadvantages for remote workers - no promotions, no salary hikes would be real disadvantages if those advantages existed. Promotions across the orgs are few and far, whereas... — read more
Aim is to get us under 100k
Who wants to bet that the goal is to get the number of employees under 100k? I wouldn't be all that much surprised if that goal is achieved by the end of this year, or the next one at the latest. I think it's rather clear that if there was ever job... — read more

Dell's attitude to staff
If you dont like it you can always leave. This is the attitude of senior staff lately and a message I have heard on more than one occasion in recent months directly. Dell is a family is BS.
Life after layoff
Our team may be on the chopping block. For those of you who found a job after leaving Dell, how long did it take and were you able to find comparable or higher comp?
This is how Dell announces layoffs:
