How does Dell keep their layoffs out of the news? There were so many affected in September but nothing made the news.

800 in NA Services in October, 200 in EMEA in Nov
there were layoffs?
How do they do it? Corruption with the press and social media, same as a well known presidents son’s questionable activities getting no press.
We are all being played.
What departments?
#1 What difference does it make?
#2 Don’t ask stupid question already now!
What departments?
“We were told to say nothing about changes or layoffs we may witness to customers, peers or on social media“
Yes true as one on short end of stick I was advised not to contact current employees or discuss termination.
over a 1000 I heard.
They have flown under radar of WARN so far.
WARN
With the economic recovery, many employers "are out of practice" with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act and Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA).
Employers count to see whether they have 100 or more employees working 20 hours or more a week for at least six months. Under the WARN Act, notice is required to be given to employees if at least 50 employees are fired within a 30-day period. These 50 people must compose 33 percent of the workforce in the department or area where the layoffs are made. Notice is also given automatically once 500 employees are laid off. Frequent layoffs related to one another are counted together if they happen within 90 days.
Although the WARN Act is commonly associated with manufacturing plants, it could apply to a grocery store, retail, office, or law firm; it could be any business. The WARN Act also requires notice to state dislocated worker units and the chief elected officials of local governments.
A faltering company exemption requires that the business be looking for financing when it would have been giving notice, and courts have been strict about that requirement.
Because no one in the media cares. Dell is the least se-y big tech company there is; it hasn’t even been cutting edge in more than 10 years. It’s hard to get excited about commodity producers. It’s not disparaging, it’s just not se-y to talk about laptop shippers having small layoffs. Way more clickbait to have Twitter or startups in the headline.
How many were laid off
We were told to say nothing about changes or layoffs we may witness to customers, peers or on social media.
I was just thinking the same thing! Somehow they keep flying under the radar!
