I have been told by my manager that me and my team are safe but for some reason I have no confidence in Dell going foraward. A lot of good people lost jobs today and some great performers. Any more information? Do we think more cuts will happen as... — read more

Any news regarding layoffs in FSDS development team?
Did anyone actually get laid off today
it was in the news..but did anyone actually get notice today?
any word on Dell Blue and Brand?
DB has been high turnover, low morale for at least 2 years, but the directors are good at proving value to execs. Curious if this will hasten more of an external-agency model for content. It wouldn't save a dime but the headcount reduction would look... — read more

Sorry. My Delorean was wrong this week
but if it is any comfort. i traveled to the fall of 2023. job market is much healthier and hiring commences. it was releasing of gas just this quarter
Why are all the people who are "praying to be laid off" all the time suddenly so quiet?
Don't want to tempt fate and actually get what they "want?"
Any word on Apex?
Or will it be business as usual ?
Severance -- 18 months of Insurance?
In another thread I saw someone mention about insurance. Is it true that you get 18 months of Health Insurance if you get laid off? Or is it based on seniority? ( This is only USA based question. )
New Hire
Any termination protection Dell has for new hire?
Dell overhired
Now it's correcting its mistake. This was to be expected.
Don't panic!
Not every 1x1 is a layoff meeting. If you read through the posts here, many of them are just business as usual. Don't get all worked up in advance until you know what's really going on. Your mental health will be grateful to you if you don't jump to... — read more
55 and worried
The job market for my age group looks grim right now. I'm not sure what I'm going to do if I'm laid off. Is anybody else in a similar position? How are you dealing with this?
Sales and marketing are being hit the hardest so far
HR and engineering are also suffering casualties. I think that this will truly be a company-wide thing and that no group will remain whole before it's all over.
I wonder how long this will take
This is not a small number of people to lay off. If it's being done in one on one meetings, then it's going to take some time to get it all done. Meaning, a lot of us might have to wait for weeks to know if we're being laid off or not. I know many... — read more
Who’s being targeted?
Do we know which arenas are taking the hits? I know sales lost a few…but that’s the extent of my knowledge
Surely you poor puppets knew better than to trust Mikey and his band of sycophants??
It’s all about Mikey’s $$. Always has been. Always will be.
What is the title of the 1x1 layoff email?
Just curious if there is a standard title for the 1x1 email people receive.
EMEA folks sound off
Anyone heard anything about the layoffs yet?
Severance details?
Anyone care to share severance package details? Also is it possible to volunteer to be laid off?
More than 5%
SEC filing in Jan 2023 says 133,000 employees. There were 165,000 Sept 2022. With this round it is more like 25% since last fall. Good luck to everyone
Voluntary Redundancy
So, our group has just been told that none of us are affected by the layoffs. Tbh I was really hoping I would be one of the ones cut. Does anyone know if there will be an option of voluntary redundancy? It's not something I'd broach with my manager... — read more
Hey guys, I think there is going to be a layoff
That time traveling mother fu---r was wrong
Let's get a count of 1x1's
Post when your 1x1 was set for if you received an invite, country and organization.
UK WFR
Does anyone have numbers on the layoffs for the UK teams based in Dublin ? I’ve not heard of any layoffs yet in Cherrywood.
It’s on

For whom the bell tolls..time marches on
Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
Weekend 1x1s?
I went thru these posts. Lots of people seem to be getting next week’s 1x1s scheduled during the weekend. I don’t think they do that. Must vary dept to dept
Can I skip the scheduled 1:1 on Tue?
If I take a sick day then can they really lay me off? How can I get un-WFR’d by dodging it???
Tomorrow
Tomorrow the axe will be swinging.
What I know.
I found this site because I was looking for news stories or leaks on upcoming Dell decisions, some of which I already know of. Read quite a few of the posts and replies, laughable or just a weird sadness. I felt some sort of obligation to post what I... — read more
How was Customer Success org when JR was running it in 2000s and 2010s?
Does he even believe in it? He is gutting SFDC success mgrs big time.
The ship will right it self
After next week, the ship of Dell will begin the process of righting it self.
When the information is too clean
Makes me suspect. To clean and to forthcoming. When it sounds to good to be true.
debt
Total debt at DellHell is at $27.33 billion.
Size of the layoff
Some are even anticipating that the size of this round of layoffs could reach 9%. Any thoughts?
