To the folks that have successfully called the last two layoff cycles, what's next? Certainly the company isn't staying put with reduced headcount and increased quotas and expecting growth. We are losing executives in North America and have teams... — read more 

Has the emea folk been informed yet?

For someone with almost 20 years service with Lenovo, how much severance would you expect to receive these days? I'm hearing 2-3 weeks per year, is this accurate?

Come on ladies and gentlemen¡! You should know by now that MAY is the month when IBM and LENOVO make their cuts, ALWAYS. That's always been the case. Stop crying. You knew a long time ago thay you will be on the chopping board at some point. Now... — read more

I see no media coverage of the layoff? Do you know why?

When contractors are exited, FTE follow shortly after!!! FYE is June 30th and they don't want to drag the burden in to FY2021. You can see the writing on every wall and continue to ignore it. Ask yourself this: Have contractors been terminated?... — read more

I love Lenovo and i Hope to go back. But they should stop giving lip service to how important women are in the workplace when the entire board of higher ups is 99% Chinese men. Also, we got an email talking about bonuses YESTERDAY. And my boss... — read more 

Just got laid off in RTP DCG. DCG got hit hard this year with 8 people in just my small department being laid off. Goodluck to everyone!

Well the layoffs have have begun in the RTP offices today. People are being handed their pink slips in 1 on 1’s

I just got laid off from the DCG BU. I basically get a 6 week severance with 3 months health. Lenovo continues with their yearly tradition. There are more impacted, I don't know the whole number.

Title says it all. Curious who else is having them scheduled. Pretty interesting that they dumped a few Execs last week and managers scheduling 1-on-1 meetings for tomorrow.

Lots of folks talking about the impending layoff that's incoming, but very few real details with specifics to back them up. I think it's time we get a thread together that has real information rather than just rumors. If you know the facts, post them... — read more 

Well, you saw it. IBM announced layoffs and they will hit on Tuesday. Lenovo will be following suit. With no tech companies in the area hiring and most businesses not hiring in 2020 and 2021, I feel sorry for all that are affected. Unfortunately, you... — read more

Seriously you all are a bunch of fearmongering either ex-employees or employees of competitors. Sure, they may cut fat like every year. But you all are acting like they're going to close down every GD job in NA. Go jump off a bridge.

I'm asking about the U.S. I thought it was illegal to let go of somebody without severance? Isn't that just a firing instead of a layoff then, for which there has to be a cause? I might be wrong, I'm not in the U.S., that's why I'm asking. But if... — read more 

In 2-3 weeks, it will be axe day. Numbers are probably going to be large in the US because Lenovo will get no aid regardless. The benefit they have now is they can dump employees, pay no severance, and pocket all that money they can. If you are... — read more 

Any chance of resource planning/budgeting this month for contractors or FTEs?

Layoffs aside, taking into account managerial personality, work/life balance (or lack thereof), lack of moral conduct, ethics, and general integrity. Not to mention blatant favoritism, good 'ole boys club mentality, and general lack of opportunities... — read more

Who was the worst manager you had and why?

Thankfully, I was laid off last year. DCG is the worst place to work. Completely demeaning. Getting laid off was the best thing to happen to me. Got my finances in order. Got a much more stable job. Absolutely loved and appreciated. Has a retirement... — read more 

Are there any additional items in the layoff package or is it the same as everybody else?

More layoffs in May. Of course they might be April or June. Lenovo will cut / lay-off / adjust their way to success. Remember US employees are paid far too much. Darn those employees. Would be so much more successful with just some executives and... — read more

Why are you staying? It was a sweatshop that payed me well below what I was worth, I happily gave my notice and found something better. Just curious what reasons you have.

Heard more layoff happened in July - Can someone confirm the news?

Probably October

This is not a big surprise to me. After seeing how Lenovo had treated their employees while working there, they are quick to lay off half of DCG and soon will be tackling the contractors next. A lot of this maybe from their tariffs they got hit that... — read more
