@ @bcl+1umYiueU
You’re very welcome! Before beginning my career at Dell, I worked as a journalist. However, I wouldn’t say that I write sci-fi essays, as I consider myself a highly realistic person. I firmly stand behind the "Made in the USA" ethos, driven by a deep sense of patriotism. I can't say the same for many big corporations in the USA taking bold decisions with a lack of philanthropism, and making complete abstraction of human values, all in the pursuit of greater wealth. I am here to extend my empathy not only to those who have already lost their jobs, but also to those who will inevitably be affected by future layoffs.

Get a life and stop spreading disinformation @qfi+1umYiueU. I just received two goodbye emails from colleagues who were let go this week. Layoffs are HAPPENING even if pathetic loyal clowns want to deny it. Believe me, you’ll be next.

thanks Steven King for the novel.

For the past three years, this company has been in a constant state of layoffs. The pattern is predictable, with the first round typically occurring every January. It's almost a ritual, where employees are let go for various reasons, whether it's due to performance, being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), or simply as part of broader cost-cutting measures. January has become synonymous with job loss, setting the tone for the rest of the year.

Then comes August, the other major month for layoffs. Historically, this has been the peak period when the company makes significant cuts. However, this year the layoffs have stretched beyond August, bleeding into September, with the possibility that they could continue until the end of the year. The company has yet to hit its layoff targets, falling short by thousands of employees, leaving many to wonder when the cycle will finally end.

In the meantime, new departments that were initially created and based in the U.S. have been quietly relocated to foreign countries. The company's goal seems clear: to expand and ramp up operations abroad while steadily reducing its U.S. workforce. A few years ago, we received an email from a top manager at Dell, in which they explained their strategy to shift more calls and operations overseas. What they conveniently left out, however, was the inevitable consequence—fewer and fewer jobs for U.S.-based employees.

This ongoing restructuring has left many workers feeling uncertain about their future, as the company seems more focused on offshore growth than retaining its domestic talent. I strongly believe that for many of us, the possibility of growing within this company is becoming increasingly unattainable. The potential for being directly impacted by the ongoing restructuring is ever-present, and it's casting a long shadow over any prospects for advancement.

The company’s current trajectory, with its frequent layoffs and shifts in strategy, leaves little room for the kind of professional growth that many of us hoped for when we first joined. Instead, we are faced with a reality where job security is fragile, and the opportunities to rise within the organization are dwindling.

As each wave of layoffs looms, it becomes harder to focus on career development or long-term aspirations. The uncertainty creates an environment where survival, rather than progress, becomes the priority. Many of us are left questioning whether our roles will exist in the future, let alone if we will have the chance to grow and evolve within the company.

In this atmosphere, it is difficult to envision a path forward that offers stability and growth. The stakes are high, and the possibility of being caught in the next round of cuts is something we all have to consider. As much as we might want to stay and grow with the company, the realities of the situation make that increasingly unlikely.

Still happening as planned. Since w1 Aug the plan was notifications Aug and exit Sep, then now Sep notifications with Oct exit, then again notifications Oct exit Nov. It’ll be like that during H2 (IBP roles, no difference between remote, hybrid or field)

Some Directors and Managers have the decency to let their reports know in advance vs springing it on them.

Notifications are happening in some groups - officially clipped in a couple weeks.

did you hear it from a friend of a friend of a friend? fake news! We are looking to hire a few more engineers in our team

You mean continues??

The stock is in a free fall after the 'great' earnings last week.
No one believes the AI pivot by Dell.

Dell will continue to trim in all areas to inflate their numbers.
