Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Its not over

Folks, I just recieved some startling news from my very high contact.

She said that the majority of the layoffs in sales have been completed next week the focus of the layoffs will shift to engineering. She didnt mince words but she used the term "Cataclysmic event"

I take no pleasure in sharing this news

Stay safe all
Please spend this time with friends and family

what the word cataclysmic means.

Maybe they were thinking about the word clysmic which is very appropriate too.

"She said"... she should not be saying anything. Tell here to get back to the kitchen and bake us some pies. How dare she stick her nose in men's business conversations.

The cuts from the quarter had been in discussions since Q1. It was the worst tkept secret inside Dell.

If history is any indication, if they cut, the next round of layoffs probably won't be until Q1 when the new budgets get set for the year.

I have a direct line to Michael Dell’s dog. I asked him how he thought next week was going to be….. The dog said “Ruff”.
