Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

@a1 lol you are pathetic. Trump has been in office for not even a year and you want to blame him somehow? The biggest layoffs have been under BIDEN in the last 4 years. But yes, lets blame Trump for it right?

Dell does what it takes to stay out of the media and prevent negativity. MD is a registered Repub but kissed bidens a-s like no tomorrow. He did so because it kept his company out of any type of negative spotlight. He didn't "kiss" Trumps a-s but was likely relieved he could run his company normally again without fear of being cancelled by id--ts.

@a5 Immune to layoffs? Of course not. Nobody is immune to that except maybe JC and other high up execs.

Fed is absolutely less likely to be hit with layoffs compared to corporate, though. And by a LONG shot. The entire federal department is only 1687 people compared to 107k on corporate, which is WORLD WIDE. If Dell just wants to cut numbers then who do you think they'll go for first? The most expensive employees in corporate, then overseas folk. Same with cost tbh...

I mean, many of the "tools" in fed are archaic compared to corporate meaning, they aren't costing much in regards to licensing. The physical equipment we have is miniscule, the licensing for software and/or hardware is tiny, fed teams are already tiny af as it is.

So no, while not immune to layoffs, you are very much less likely to be affected. For me personally, the handful of people who have been "let go" were not due to WFR but rather having been fired.

@af It's not a false narrative at all. I've been in FED since it's beginning and work closely with essentially EVERY team in Fed minus the sales group and, can count on one hand the number of people who have been let go.

Of course people are let go in fed. Not saying they aren't, or are immune to it but, it's just less likely considering fed can't be outsourced and the fact that the entire fed department is only 1600 people. We don't cost much money and ironically, fed sales brings in a SH-T ton of money.

To top that off, several groups such as IT, sales, security and even devs to an extent, know a lot of sensitive information that could be disastrous if a bitter employee were to leak all that upon being let go. This is government info. Network layouts, IP address's, what kind of programs they are running, etc etc etc... Agencies such as DoD, DoE, ARMY, Navy, etc... wouldn't be too thrilled about that is my guess and would quickly end contracts with Dell.

As for the NDA cr-p, that project is nothing special. I know everything about it and IMO I find it silly that it's even an NDA to begin with tbh. I'm under the NDA so I can't and won't say anything about it but what I will say, is that it's not very interesting nor is it something that will cost anybody a job.

Please stop pushing this false narrative. 2/3 of those dismissed from my team during the last round of layoffs were fed and a couple of those had just recently completed an even more rigorous set of background checks for a super hush hush federal contract.

I’m Fed and I’ve seen a number of layoffs in the past year or so. Immune to layoffs is a myth.

@a1 I mean, to work in the Federal space at at Dell, you literally have to be a US citizen... and it's been that way since the Fed department was created lol. Trump has nothing to do with anything but, it's kinda sad that you think it does.

@a1 Does it matter though? Mike kissed bidens a-s and even ate it out for years and look where that got him... Either way, who tf cares if Mike kissed "trumpys" a-s? I'd prefer to havce a job that I hate than not have one at all.

Probably doesn't hurt that Mikey kissed Trumpy's A$$ to insure that he didn't cancel Dell's Federal contracts.
