I'm going to assume that the teams that were affected yesterday are safe going forward?

You know what they say about ASSUME. Mostly it will make an a-s out of you if you believe that. Michael needs an upgraded Jett, so you gotta go bro
More layoffs continuing each day this week.
Its a revolving door. Every quarter or two, you 'realign the business' or 'increase efficiencies'. Then you let go older more expensive workers (with a smattering of younger ones thrown in so HR can claim it had nothing to do at all with age discrimination) and backfill some/most of those roles with cheap offshore resources, or new college hires.
Wash, rinse, repeat. If you have been with the company for 20-25 years, you are probably into, in not well into, 6 figures; you probably accrue at least 4 weeks of vacation; and cost the company a ton more on the medical plan. Vs. the offshore resource you hire as a contractor at under 20k, or the college hire at 60k with 2 weeks vacation.
Its simply a way to continually take cost out of the business. There is no more job for life in IT, if you have been there 20+ its simply a matter of time before your ticket gets punched.
That's not how layoffs work. ALL teams all over the company are vulnerable until Dell sheds a total of at least 20,000 to get under the 100,000 mark.
No not at all unfortunately.
not until theyre around 70-80k headcount
Never over under Bain and MSD
Incorrect. More cuts to follow throughout the year and continued onto next year
It took a few weeks when they busted up my whole team in Feb. I wouldn't make any assumptions.
