Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Severance pay is a tax deductible expense. The cost reduction is immediate. Even if you are long tenure. The severance package break even after a few months of clever accounting, then cost savings kick in the remaining year until they decide to hire again.

the problem is, aside from you being incoherent, you think the math is 2+2

@ttp+1qT6YvF7, you should probably read what you wrote again. :)

What?! That's not how it works. Thats not how any of this works. LOL. It is NOT cheaper to pay severance than to let people quit. They owe you NOTHING if you quit. If I quit (25 years) they would owe me a very sizable amount of money.

As it should be

"If people quit, you owe them nothing... Severance is far more expensive than people leaving of their own accord."

It sadly reflects how simple minded you are thinking it's 2+2 math.

If people quit, you owe them nothing... Severance is far more expensive than people leaving of their own accord.

Makes no difference
The laid off are the lucky onea.
Dell has no clue what ot wants to be.
Leadership is overpaid dead weight living in the dark ages.
That is the big issue.

My post had nothing to do with the layoffs. You dim wits cannot even comprehend simple subject matters.

As for those laid off. It's not that they were poor performers. It's that they were perceived to have low ROI relative to their salary. Get it?

But i understand you need to tell yourself you were a rockstar despite getting laid off. If this helps you get through this then so be it.

Yeah that’s just not true.
This round of layoffs some of the most talented and dedicated employees I knew were let go while the poor performers are still here. It’s because the good performers get promoted and cost more while the useless never go anywhere.

Ok, HR.
