Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Tommorw

Folks, my high contact confided in me at the local medieval axe-throwing bar, that tomorrow is going to be bat sh-t crazy.

The upper management suite is calling this Apocalypse Monday.

She said the percentage would be at least 35%. IT and sales most likely to be hit, as they are seen as surplus to our new AI capabilities. These include Dell sales chat and windsurf.

The cuts will be focused mainly in Indias Mother and the US.

She also had bad news on the RTO front, mandatory 5 days a week will be enforced from tomorrow and all remotes will be put on PIP with immediate effect. VPN access ill be tracked to your desk so if you are away for a period the system will flag you as a time thief and a PIP will be incoming.

These are indeed some startling revelations, I know I will be holding my loved ones all weekend and I suggest you do to

Stay safe all

Honestly don't know why people like you go to the effort to post nonsense like this.

It’s JC. He’s trying to stress people out so they quit.

"at least 35%" is the red flag.

Approx. 37,800 in a single day would be unprecedented. And that's the minimum this troll is suggesting.

Upper management isn't going to use terms like "Apocalypse Day" to describe their heartless strategies, out of fear of lawsuits. This sanitization of their speech happened years ago. Do they talk this way behind close doors? Maybe. But the OP isn't going to have that sort of contact. It sure as he-l won't show up in a company email.

The edict on remotes, with one day notice or else PIP status, wreaks of manure. Will they target remotes at some point? Sure. With a 24-hour or else PIP? Not likely.

This line: "These are indeed some startling revelations" sounds like someone who really wants to sell us something.

Also, the OP doesn't know how to spell "tomorrow" correctly.

My take? Yeah, there will probably be layoffs tomorrow. Layoffs are just the weather of the day now. But I'm highly doubtful it's going to be the blood bath being painted by the OP.

If I'm wrong, well -- tell my story.

"Sure, letting go of 35,000 people tomorrow. You are id--ts if you believe this."

Yup dell desperately wants to keep what they are doing out of the mainstream news, so they're going to let go of the 35k ppl a little bit at a time over the next 2-3 years.

So if we’re in a conference room, collaborating we get dinged? Doubt that, it goes against the very grain of in person collaboration. That would stand up in an unlawful termination lawsuit.

The grain of truth for OP is the AI piece. All companies are actively working on Agentic AI. The description of Agentic AI is still SCI-FI in my mind but at my company, we've had training on getting ready for Agentic AI.

There is one guy in here that is very well informed when he leaks us info, probably a guy that works for HR, but this does look like this is the guy. Either way I have not heard anything about layoffs (yet).

People are stressed and fearful of their jobs. This impacts their family life. Most don't care about Dell.

We know life goes on after Dell but it's hard for some to see this with the stakes so high.

Have a word with yourself!
