Thanks for joining. You’re all really important. Now let me spend time talking about me. Boring.com

What is everyone hearing about more upcoming workforce reductions? I’m hearing rumors of more coming in June/ July timeframe but those are strictly rumors. Wondering if anyone else is hearing anything.

Dell didn't give us 2 months of cobra as promised. Fun to find out when you go to fill a prescription and learn your insurance was canceled 2/10/23 Heads up!

Wondering what it'll be for this year.

Does the Dell Earning report look good enough for them to give out IBP payout?

Earning reported. Solid beat. Delorean taken out to September. No layoffs seen. Pop the champagne guys. mMcfly

I'm talking specifically about the tech sector, I have no idea what's happening elsewhere.

I still can't believe that I was laid off after so much effort invested here. I have always taken care to keep my skills updated and I hope that I will be able to get a new job soon. What worries me is the possibility of getting an equally good or... — read more 

Did anyone volunteer for the latest round of wfr? If so, did you get the standard package? Any questions about about you volunteering from HR? Or did it just go through. Would they even care?

I was laid off in the last round. One of the documents I received lists employees “affected” and “not affected” as required by the above act. The text is very confusing, but it appears that they list (in my case): Group A: Affected — 5 employees with... — read more

Anyone else missing half pay on the last paycheck before severance? Has Dell completely lost it. The next few weeks looks like a mess of emails back and forth. So much for a smooth out.

Just received my severance documents. Surprised at the experience just lost. I know everyone is expendable but these cuts seem deep. I have moved on to my hobbies. Good luck and good bye Dell.

Anyone here get the Severance Email yet? Wondering if it's even coming at this point. The way this is being handled is so jacked up.

Will Dell be able to service the mountain of debt, the billion dollar settlement and cover the severance for 6,650+++ laid off employees?
