there is nothing innovated about the company, no good engineers or technology as they don’t value them or pay well. they still act like a transaction based pc company model. Exactly. I don't believe that Dell can ever again be an innovative... — read more

Did I just hear in Doug's all-hands that Sweet is going too? If so, what do 'they' know that we are not party to?

I agree that morale has been terrible in Dell Blue, with good reason. I don’t like to see anyone laid off, but those directors need to go. The work has gotten stale, the environment is toxic, and the opportunities for growth are nil. You just... — read more 

The most talented have long since left and those who are still here are in a constant anxiety when will be their time to be let go. In the meantime, they work double or triple workloads because their colleagues got laid off. Everyone sees that the... — read more 

Hello Team, I was laid off from Dell Hopkinton last week and wanted to apply for Massachusetts unemployment but stopped at the question did your employer provide severance? Is the package a severance or payment for agreeing not to take future action... — read more 

Few years ago, I resigned from a job without another job in line. This was the most vulnerable I've ever felt but it had to be done. The Job was awful. I had just been promoted but I couldn't take it anymore. The stress the job came with was... — read more 

Husband was told Tues and official off on Friday but only deposit to account was regular paycheck and vacation due to state law? Anyone else get their severance compensation checks? Bonus checks?

Do not dwell here. Move on. This place wreaks of laid-off-past. They become embittered and post negativity and incessant doom and gloom. They cant move on. That moment has defined them and they seek retribution in a meaningless forum.

I've been hearing rumors that Dell may be aligning for a merger with another company in the next year. Unlike the EMC M&A however this time around Dell would be absorbed into a bigger entity rather than be the big fish in the pond doing the eating... — read more 

Most people don’t know but it happens every year. With the new gov tax increase, lower demand for goods and layoffs from everywhere I wouldn’t be surprised if this layoff thing snowballs for many companies. I hope not.

Updates on asia?

Work shouldn't be this stressful a few years before retirement.

There are always layoffs every quarter. We just don't hear about them because they are a small number. Usually when you hear about it it someone you know. This is why I don't understand why so many people are asking if layoffs are done. Layoffs are... — read more

The moment this layoff round is done, we'll have to start worrying about the next one. Everybody is having multiple rounds within months or even weeks of each other, so why would Dell be any different? I think this whole year will be like that. I... — read more 

How bad is it in round rock.

Just wondering if any in D/FW were cut, traditionally they have been very safe, at least from the groups I am familiar with, so just checking in to see if there were any cuts.

I was told the Bonus as part of severance will be at 75 percent There were earlier reports here that it would be at 100 percent What has been your experience?

I know it has affected much of the old EMC stomping grounds, but wondering if OKC was affected.

my director in ISG told me this is only first round - there will be a second round before the end of Q1 -- smaller than this round, but still another go at cuts. dir told me 2nd round will start soon after new kevin is identified. given many other... — read more
