The endless complaining in here is exhausting. Why don't those of you who are so miserable just leave? You act like the severance you may or may not get if you get laid off is life changing - it's not.
If you're as good as you think you are, go out and get yourself another job that you enjoy more. Get a higher salary. Get a sign-on bonus. Negotiate yourself more vacation. If will quickly offset the severance you think you're missing out on.
I think maybe those complaining all day realize they may have a hard time finding a new job. Or, they're just lazy and want to sit on their butt and do nothing for a few months while they "look for a job".
Only you can change your happiness. Don't rely on Dell to do it for you.
