Good luck, everyone.

Unfortunately the person that really needs to go is the senior engineering director located over in Santa Clara. She was a horrible manager and made it senior director and I have no idea how that works in this universe and she would get rid of people that had nothing to do with Dell overlapping. She is the type of person that if you say no and don't agree with her and not make her look good then you are gone. Maybe the VP of engineering will finally see that she is a piece of crap. When she first became director from a competitor company, she would travel around with the human resources woman that she knew from the past as an intimidation factor. That HR person would attend engineering meetings and just click her pen and check her Facebook status.

Anything in Round Rock Location?
No immediate news of rifs in RR or OKC. Of course, nobody is being promised it won't happen either.
I'm based out of Hopkinton and here are the general numbers/dates we are hearing as of today.
Expected total 20-25% cut for DellEMC employees (this includes product/departmental cuts that extend beyond the dates listed below)
Expected 10-15% cut inside the Enterprise & Mid-range Storage Division (VMAX/VNX)
Hopkinton building 228 (EMSD) to get hit 1/11/17
Hopkinton building 176 (EMSD) to get hit 1/12/17
Most managers are being abnormally hush about the topic this time around so I'm generally expecting broad cuts affecting a much wider range of teams than normal in the engineering areas. No one is safe.
Interesting Sales folks are told to do a survey about their jobs the processes etc. Hmmm
Heard a few rumours but nothing concrete. Is it a VSP type scenario? How many staff are they looking to trim globally?
Date confirmed today. Something's up on wednesday. No numbers or affected product lines specifically mentionned.
Interested to know what information you're basing this date on? Thanks in advance. 😊
To the person who is cursing in this thread, shows the maturity level and lack of understanding of Profits, Economy and Corporations. I suggest some reading and understanding of Corporate Profits.
Interesting date as my boss has been called to Austin along with all the Networking Managers on that date. I have had a gut feeling that Networking will get hit and hit hard as we are a side show for Dell. They bought into it with out grasping that its not a commodity 90 day sale which is the company and the sales forces model. I am looking hard as I half suspect they will axe the whole group, announce a partnership with Cisco again and cut us and all the managers. Thus getting them all in one room at the same time.
Yes, redundancies are an inevitability of a merger. The real shame is there has been much bloodletting in areas that were already operating short-handed. It's like cutting off your hand to save your arm. It's more of a corporate contraction to cut expenses than anything else. Dell overextended itself and is operating in full panic mode. He lives to see how much blood he can squeeze from a stone.
People always think that their situation is special and nothing bad will happen. Serious type of cognitive dissonance
D-Day My a-- you will not be killed on the way to work, stop picking dates out of your a--, of course there will be redundancies , you cant merge 2 companies without it, thats the point
With profits stagnant, nothing surprises anyone. Yes people will still buy LT's DT's and Servers but with the shift to cloud will not need as many sales folks , managers or useless ORSD'd
Good luck all, prepare your resume before market is flooded. Never know
