It’s like family at Dell.I don’t think our managers would just send an email. It’s going to be based on performance. That is what is happening. Just work on making Dell a better place and it will work out.

Firing by email is a new thing.Corporations really care about you...................

Managers were asked to prepare a list of their bottom 5% employees. The next step is probably Legal choosing who can be fired with minimal risk. With some luck we’ll get this nice piece of coal right in time for Christmas.

The leadership obviously decides to cut everything that can be cut, at the cost of making a huge and irreparable mistake. How massive will these layoffs be?

Is the external hiring freeze still active? Any ideas when external hiring will resume?

Dell will move all ISG installs to 3rd party Unisys starting Nov 1 with vxrail and data domain. By Feb 1 all products will be installed by 3rd party. Expect massive layoffs if you work field customer service.

General inkling is Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) result in a termination... but why even bother with these plans? Can you get severance at the end of a PIP when you're terminated? Any experience with this?
