Does anyone have an idea on the number of people? Never seen anything like this in 20 years of tech. Really don't know how they will keep the wheels on the bus. I'm heartbroken for everyone experience the layoff and those left behind. Our team got drastically cut in DIBU- US. Gotta move forward and not look back. Good luck to all.

HCC had decent leadership outside of Hisham and got decimated as part of the move into Vantara. Brad brought his broken GE experience over and ruined what was left.
When did failing HCC executives take over DSBU? Remember the HCC operating profit announced in the FY19 Q3 town hall- just squeezed out a few dollars and that was par for course. ouch... now these incompetents are running DSBU! Nice job BS...your leaders are BS.
I was let go and I could not be happier! The hundred of lives being ruined are the ones that are staying at this dumpster fire. Be happy you were restructured and go find something better.
TRUST ME!!!
If turning off divisions - multiple divisions is not that bad and destroying 100’s of lives in the middle of a pandemic you may be correct with your post not AT ALL. 30% across the company and no clear direction with a plan to have the next wave in January
massive cuts like you've never seen? You must not have been in many other companies then.. This wasn't that bad as your making it AT ALL.
No-one seems to have any numbers, and I've not seen anything reported outside of the guesswork on this site. I sincerely hope those affected find something soon.
The Town Hall didn't fill me with confidence and reasoning for their actions seemed more than a little contrived.
DI has taken some hits in the market for sure, I mean storage is tanking across the board anyhow. I personally know at least one huge company with multiple large datacenters that tossed Hitachi storage mainly for reasons of support so that's a miss on the HV side.
I worry about DS simply because HV is very siloed, doesn't communication well at a meaningful level (not talking about Town Halls) and still seems to be floundering for a product. Even now they think they're going to purchase their way into success, but they're really only good at the A part of M&A.
Surely not as bad as ibm or their counterparts. How many are you talking about?
