Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Up to know EMC2 was 6 weeks + 2 statutory, and uncapped. Based on your base rate of pay excluding shift and OT, +1 month notice.

Don't know any one that has got the dell one yet, but the year is up and they hired workforce transition managers back in July/August so what does that tell you?

engineering groups ireland being asked if there is a package who would be interested,,im not an engineer but our managers seem to know nothing,,maybe we are the last on the picking order or they think theres nothing to worry about,,i also heard that they are still honouring the emc package 6 and 2 so might be a good thing

Any bonus payments due added on too

so get the average of last 2 p60, divide by 52,multiply that by 4 (dell package)and multiply by how many years you are there and add statutory,anything else they add on but 1 months salary ?

Yes . Average of last 2 p60's

How do they work out payment.does it average over the last two p60 and work it from there

That's 4 dell plus 2 statutory . You get also get the months pay after you get laid off . It's capped at 2 years pay , that's another difference as emc never capped it

The above is true as I know someone in Ireland who got it recently

Is that 6 weeks plus 2 statutory weeks or 4 dell and 2 stay? Too many rumours around about cheap packages in ireland..supposedly capped at 13 years aswell

Sorry, my 10 week + 1 week per year of service example was US based EMC employees

Actually, I believe legacy EMC severence was 10 weeks plus 1 week for each year of service. There were additional weeks and insurance extension options if you were 55 years or older.

6 weeks per year in dell Ireland

Emc used to be 8 weeks per year

I know people that got the package in ireland from emc and it was good enough for them to leave..anyone know the packages being handed out by dell in ireland.hope it dissent vary too much from the end ones

In Ireland it is 30 in a 90 day period not 30 in a 30 day.

Don't think they will give less of a package than they have been giving the last few years.

1. Precedence set for years

2. Do they really want to go down the same route they went when they layed off in dell Limerick.

don't take it personally, take the money instead, this is business, Mr. Dell and his L2s business, not ours, it's hard but deal with it, take the money and leave. Just.. Just take the money, put it in a bag or hug it in your arms, and.. and leave.

Last I heard ( last week), severance package is 10 weeks base + 1w/year. May be different in Ireland.

I like your handle - UnDELLIZED!!! Anyhow, they are doing similar things here in the states - there are tresholds that each state has that trigger what we call WARN notices. WARNs indicate how many was laid off, they need to report age groups, give advance warntings, etc. What I've see are small and geographically distributed cuts that help them avoid WARNs (WARN tresholds are location based, so 5 x 100 locations will not trigger a warn)...

Management is sneaky, but we know their tricks, dont we.... F---ers!
