Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

I miss when this place felt like a family

That feeling is completely dead now. If you told me 15 years ago this is where we'd be, I'd call you a liar. Yet, here we are.

You’d think it was a family, the way people here are so scared to join another company

I started at EMC about a month after being laid off from my previous job. When I was laid off I vowed that I would be very careful about getting too close to coworkers. When I lost my previous job I was ghosted by many I had considered friends. (Before ghosted was even in the vernacular). Very few returned my emails or calls.

Been at EMC then Dell for for nearly 22 years and I have maintained that policy. There are about three people I see socially outside of work. Maybe it’s my loss but I agree with those who say Dell is your job.

Your family is your family. Your job is your paycheck.

@OP Dell has always been a highly dysfunctional, broken family. You can't trust our parents as far as you can throw them. Not sure what you're talking about.

This is a strange post to me because Dell wasn't a favorable company to work for since the year 2000. I'm not sure what you're on about here. People always had an issue with this company for many many years.
