Or at least, I haven't heard a thing. Somehow, that makes me even more worried. They've trained us well.

most folks in IT know that when 'etc renamed' 1.0 is live and working, and they've retired all those legacy tools, that there won't be a massive 2.0 project for them to go-to. so that's one area..
and as things continue to get locked down in association to 'that project', many biz run CSS apps (labs, marketing, sales, engineering have a ton, many are CSSs that source from other CSSs that also sources from another CSSs) will also suffer in spectacular fashion, they all feed from the legacy systems that will be gone... many don't understand this dependency impact, their source will be gone.
@f5 Which areas, locations and design specifc groups ?
Design got hit pretty hard by WFR last week.
No rumors needed, it's happening. You just don't see it.
The new direction at Dell is clear for all to see. Rather than conducting larger-scale layoffs anymore, events where they used to treat employees semi-humanely with severance and notice, they've now decided it's much cheaper and easier to enact policies that make employees' lives a living he-l (RTO, New SCP, no promotions, no raises) so people leave on their own. This way Dell doesn't have to pay severance.
If headcount needs to shrink further, they just enact a new draconian policy without any employee representation.
Dell has truly become one of the worst companies in the industry to work for, run by greedy, arrogant, self-absorbed, incompetent leaders who only care about their own enrichment. They DO NOT care about the employees one iota. They are greedy, evil ba----ds!
I know of at least five people who have lost their job with Dell in the last two weeks. So it’s happening steadily. The drain is open.
I'm thinking they postponed the big layoff because the m project release got pushed back and we'll much larger scale layoffs than usual in August.
Why do you think no rumors have surfaced. The sales comp plan is to do this job without severance. Only after the comp plan has been around the blocks and people have not left, will they force large scale layoffs again in big numbers focusing on all departments
