The 20 direct reports is going to impact a lot of leaders. I'm an IC. Several of my peers were moved to another leader, a Sr Dir, which leaves my current manager, a Director, in a challenging spot. It was a mixed message as to whether the some/all of the remaining ICs would be moved or WFR'd.
@kh+1jrwqnr02 - ISG Technical support.
There is a company wide directive that managers have to have 20 direct reports now. Lots of management impacted.
Nope! War’s done for now.
@h0+1jrwqnr02 What orgs? Sorry to hear (or maybe you're happy?). Regardless, best of luck!
There is no use in asking when layoffs are going to hit because it's a bit different in each other. The fact is they will be ongoing until we are down another 28,000 people - that's coming from upper leadership with no motive to lie. Also, HR hasn't needed to be on layoff calls in 2 years, it's totally optional and up to the manager.
Lots of managers, directors and others hit today (including myself).
Just received a 5% raise and 22k in LTI. Well.. good riddance
Was it a Business Update email,
That listed the call details?
Word is that all Team Leads must now have 20 direct reports, so yeah, another round of layoffs coming.
I knew something was up when my boss kept cancelling my one on ones.
The one before my layoff she lied to me and said she was on feeling well which I knew was a lie. She was active online all day.
If Dell doesnt layoff the Sr. Dir and VP pdm who took cover in the Edge AI org after their team-wipe out ; then the rot still continues . Lower ranks will continue to pay the price for their wrong decision.
Accountability at the topmost layers should be enforced.
""Sadly I always check to see if HR is on the invite as well :(""
It used to be that HR was on the call, now with so many layoffs they no longer are. My call last Monday was with my manager only. Just read from a script.
Good luck.
True story: my 1x1 came in the summer when I was on a 3-4 day hybrid in office schedule. I was so naive about what was happening that I had actually gone into the office for the day. I took the zoom meeting sitting in the central treehouse area in RR3. Yeah, that was awkward.
Layoffs will be coming hard.
My entire team was just moved under another director. Might be a good thing.
The only 1 on 1 my boss was not 15 minutes late was the one with HR on the call.
A friend of mine was laid off on their monthly 1x1 and HR was added last minute so he didn't see it coming.
Sadly I always check to see if HR is on the invite as well :(
