Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Got my 1:1 WFR today (Monday 4/7/25)

Good luck to those who are still at Dell.

Eight years here, worked with a fabulous group.
The building I was in treated me wonderfully, just a great bunch of guys.
I would’ve taken any of those guys on vacation with me had that ever been an option.
Got my severance package which is great, with our new shaky economy I hope severance packages remain.
My manger was super professional, he handed it very well, I felt he was quite sincere. Said half his team is toast today.
I don’t really hold a grudge, some folks on this forum have an axe to grind, I don’t.
I’m curious how many more WFR’s are next, I thought this last massive hit with WFR’s might’ve slowed, guess not.
My Name 1:1 (with calendar invite), how you’ll know.

Happy trails everyone!

Congrats on getting a parting gift. Su-ks that Trump has cratered the economy which will make finding another job harder. Best of luck and save as much as you can.

I’m sorry to hear this, as I was let go today as well. I wasn’t expecting this based on the timing, but considering the last few years and this economy, I kind of did. It was all a matter of when.

Look at your 1:1, then look at all of manager’s calendar. You’ll see he has 1:1’s back to back. That’s how I knew before the call.

Get on LinkedIn and start connecting. If you find me - i'll accept and give some insights on LHH outplacement and some advice that took me a few months to figure out. Luckily Dell rehired me in a different role (had to give severance back) but i've already got my foot out the door again with better roles ahead! You'll learn - Dell is and was toxic. Not always like that but the last 3 years or so..... damn Dell became terrible.
