Dell you are nothing but a logistics and manufacturing company. You won’t ever BE a technology company. You don’t build technologies! You’ve got an upper management c-suite and SVP suite that lives in 1996. You’ve got no experience in building... — read more

There is not higher reasoning behind cuts
Its the same intelligentsia BS that these central planners in government take. They are focused on hacking and slashing and "process" to optimize, they don't know how to really create value like true industrialists. Dell's quality and innovation will... — read more
Got notified yesterday gone Friday
Honestly, I prefer when they just walked you out the door. At least you were done right then and there I’m trying to wrap up all my HR stuff and my manager keeps asking me for additional items and transition. Plus, the HR rep sent me a welcome to... — read more

VMware team dead globally
Heard today VMware synergy is no longer. Whole team and management are gone. Third party software team are not immune to redundancies either… which other teams are impacted I wonder.
Watching the LinkedIn posts…
I am seeing people post on LinkedIn they were laid off and their last day is Friday. Here’s to another week of anxiety not knowing who will be gone and who will pick up even more workload.
This is working very well

A better way to handle layoffs
But just because cuts are sometimes unavoidable doesn't mean we have to handle them with all the sensitivity of a Mafia hit job. The current process of frog-marching employees out the door and disappearing them on Slack is not only degrading to... — read more

Severance Negotiation - Does Dell have flexibility?
Recently laid off and offered a package. Does Dell entertain severance negotiations? Or is it too risky to even try?
Dell. Another Day Another Layoff
It is continuing today
Ireland layoffs
Heard this is the week for WFR globally. Anyone know of impact in Ireland?
How many employees are left?
You are all saying that the goal is to cut the total number from 130 000 to 100 000. Anyone knows what's the current number? How many employees are being laid off per week?
Have you RTO
Are you back on the office or waiting for march to apply for the remote option ? If in the office, is it busy ?
Anything but layoffs in the foreseeable future?
I mean, every week now? That’s gonna have a fantastic impact on productivity. And mental health. Not that anybody at the top in this place cares about actual human beings.
Miminal available job openings
Checked the internal job postings. 75% are AI related
Was just laid off
Manager scheduled a 1 on 1 for this morning. While joining the Zoom meeting HR popped in. Bam. Laid off.
Layoff happening today
Some already happened. North America is supposed to be done with layoffs by EOD Tuesday.
Just logged in, no surpise meeting today. Guess it will be a good week.
It's a shame it's come to this. great2b@dell

Cyber is the least likely to ever be hit with layoffs.
If you are an IT guru or thinking of cyber security, I suggest you up your knowledge and skills and get into it because they are very very very rarely even considered for layoffs. I've been with Dell for 6 years now and as many layoffs as there have... — read more
Quiet quitting in the office
What are some of the effective ways I can quiet quit without management suspecting? I want to be able to do it from the office but not arouse suspicion of management. I'm in RR if that helps now we're being forced back onsite.
Never let go of so many people in my career
In my overall career I’ve never had to let go of so many people in my organization over the past 3 years as I have with Dell. Yet, they keep the SVP’s and VP’s in place. You’ve got SVP’s report to SVP’s! You’ve got VP’s with 2 reports! But... — read more
Jen Fe--h call - comments by an employee
I am getting to understand a bit more on the RTO situation after last week’s call. Funny enough most of the leaders looked like they were at home. Idk who the HR lady was but I guess Dell “hinted” towards RTO. They brought examples of other company... — read more
Nxt round in August
They will assess remotes and come up with a nautghty or nice list for wfr. Heard from a very reliables source
Will there be another layoff
will there be another layoff or are they hoping for a fallout after the new policies and not have to do another layoff. I can see one happening if the fallout doesn't happen fast enough. People were saying more sales team were going to be let go but... — read more

Sweeping RTO is a bullsh-t strat
