My manager told me the 31st was my last day. I assumed I was getting laid off. The 31st came and went, so I asked my manager what was going on. He said well, I can’t kick you off the team. So I’m still here I guess.
Is this common?

The director will soon be replaced by the curry lapdog as well. Nobody has time to be a lapdog forever.
This has been a trend at RSA in Bedford. The Aveksa group director has been telling people to quit of their own accord, to get out of any severance, so they can hire their own cheap curry-lovin lapdogs. I refused to quit and engaged HR (DELL) for harassment. Don't take any crap from those jackasses, drag them into court and sue their asses off!
Not sure if these two directors are involved in bullying. But one thing they are good at is doing nothing other than playing video games and watching youtube all day.
Well outta the three directors in bdc storage the leader was booted out due to harassment issues. The other two are in the list in the next layoff wave.
The skills of the three directors of BDC storage will be in great demand across Dell EMC as this year is s the year of major cost cutting. The management needs these kind of bullies and jerks to weed out people.
In BDC storage it was common practice by laid off director and his team. They used to harass engineers and nudge them to leave through psychological torture. Firing employees is not easy as they have to go through pip. Unless there is mass layoff firing is not easy. Hence in BDC storage the three crook of directors came up with strategy of subtle psychological torture and verbal abuse and gossip.
You might be able file a complain with HR as this is an act of psychological harassment... And if they do not take care of it, file it in court. Depending of where you live, you might have a chance of getting some compensation...
The alternative is to quit when you are ready, without notice. They already told you the date of your last day at work so, in theory at least, you're no longer there ;)
This happened to me. I knew I wasn’t being laid off or fired, but I also wasn’t quitting. The manager even went around and told executives my last day was a certain date.
I went to the unemployment office to see how such a case is handled and they told me to speak with a lawyer and document everything.
My thoughts were they were trying to shame me to leave. Instead I think it made the manager look foolish, because the date would come and then would tell people well now it’s X date. The date would come and I was still there. Lol. I’m quitting on my own terms. Not being forced to quit.
I don’t know if it’s illegal, but wish I knew.
what's common is ops management firing people who does the work they cannot comprehend and brushing it off as what boss man do not understand is of no value.
ask her for promotion.
I’m not sure if it is common, but nothing surprises me at Dell. I have been retaliated against when a manager found out I was speaking to an employee she fired improperly. She was afraid I was going to testify against her. My question to you: is this the place you want to work? That was the question I asked myself. I am now much happier.
