@vns+1tRFxScU, correct, at least 10-15%.
Some of you guys are so wrong as always. It's massive.
Incorrect.
Filing 5%. But that’s only in states where the numbers reach a certain threshold that requires reporting.
It will be closer to 10-15% including those let go in last few weeks.
It's closer to 1%
I don't know what the ultimate numbers will be. Obviously this is impacting people across many organizations. One thing I'm looking at as an indicator is company wide communication/SEC filings. In the Feb 2023 layoff, it was 5%. With that, we received a JC communication overnight leading into Monday morning. There was also an SEC 8-K filing on Monday, Feb 6, indicating there would be a 5% reduction.
Contrast this with August 2023, where there was a significant layoff to sales (not to mention the never ending trickle of reductions throughout the year). That one received no larger comms, no 8-K filing.
We are half way through Monday already. No company wide communication. No SEC filing. Now, Dell may have decided to keep this more hushed (which, can you even do if it's large enough? At some point it triggers communication to shareholders). But perhaps this indicates what the overall % will be (maybe sub 5%? Which with over 100k employees is still significant to us).
It doesn't help those who are impacted (or those of us who live with constant anxiety), but may help provide context of size...

which exactly team?
I've heard from friends at Dell that this would be massive. Think about 20K+ people.
No hr rep on call with mgr. Says cuts are so large not enough hr to go around.
Quit being an id--t.
Not much layoffs. Even Telco teams are sitting here fine.
So much for all this hype of mass layoffs.
this is no tiny effort, its going to be massive. Dell is just being covert about it unlike how Intel's was spread more widely. I think people are commonly used to Dell layoffs and they had one recently so people who think it's just part of the previous one or aren't paying attention. but no, this is massive I think this definitely changes Dell as a company and something I don't think they'll come back from. no-one I know buys their storage or services, they're limited on what they offer, they utilized Intel chipsets so its hand in hand with that, theres no innovation from leadership. Dell is pushing AI, but has no idea what it is or means and I'm surprised a company that essentially resells hardware and software (intel chips and Windows OS) made it this far. their terrible acquisitions over the last decade or so is telling, I'd imagine if Dell remains around it turns into a consultancy type company...what else do they offer?
This is not tiny at all
where in ISG? Not hearing anything in ISG
Between the people on here worried and the people who claim they have nothing to worry about but yet they hate the people posting on this board but they themselves are viewing the board tell you everything you need to know about what kind of culture Dell has.
me and 2/3 of my team gone today ISG US more than 1%
1 percent would generate this much buzz. Managers are telling their teams and it's being discussed in larger forums. 1 percent layoffs happen without much communication
Yea this is bullsh-t - it’s way more than 1%. Marketing, services, sales… its across the board
Dell is a fu--ing shithole and the reason people stay is because they want to be pushed.
Managers really have no clue how unhappy staff are and they really do not care.
Lies.... Many people across the company have received invites for today not just sales....
What happened to massive layoffs? Down to 87k blah blah blah.
