Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

I love the suspense

I guess the rest of you too. I mean, who wouldn’t want adrenaline rushes interchanged by anxiety attacks, constant worry and sleepless nights, all whipped into frenzy and complete irrationality in the expectation of layoffs? Sometimes I think that upper mgmt derives some special kind of pleasure from just keeping us in suspense. It doesn’t matter that we are human beings and these jobs are our livelihoods. Those a--holes have never known the existential dread.

On our (US) VP call last week. Two slides on the pending changes (re a new online environment for customers) and then five slides on change, embracing the change, be prepared for the change, how to manage change in your career (generally), how to build resilience, how to deal with challenges.

You didn’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what that call was all about.

Middle management thinks the AI factories will cause the dell stock to shoot up to $1000 and usher in a Renaissance of new hires.

I’ve heard the situation is “fluid”.

i like fluid situations. The porblem arises when those become sticky..

@xdq+1tKS34Aw Seems they dont really have a clue either.
We have been told all is the same heading into Q3 but even if you are safe this quarter it doesnt fill you with confidence for Q4 or beyond.
Also in Sales.

Something is coming. Check out GAMA, it says it’ll be done 8/2-8/5. Never seen our alignment site say that before.

My team meeting has been canceled twice for today already. The second time was 5 mins before it started. I’ve heard the situation is “fluid”. Do they really not have a plan..? It seems like my manager has no idea what’s going on with WFR’s. Anyone else have anything similar? I’m in sales btw

Nice having to dredge through the garbage posts on anonymous sites to figure out if you're going to be employed in a month. Talk about culture.

Zero team meetings. Zero internal discussions. Hardly even any emails today. It’s very quiet for a end of quarter Monday. It seems like everyone is just waiting.
