I was promoted after a sales career into a leadership role, only to be layed off my 2nd quarter into the role. Leadership is talking about bringing in new talent and our record profit quarters, but they're letting a ton of great people go while... — read more 

I’ve been an isr 1 for about a year and a half and got the call from hr smh.

I am a people leader with 19 years between EMC and Dell and I was just laid off today. Came out of left field. Nobody has asked me for any names from my team. Another peer (individual contributor) was also let go 30 minutes before me. So much for... — read more 

It seems to me that the leadership is not considering any options other than reducing the headcount. Are there any cost-cutting measures at Dell that don't involve layoffs?

I'm in Tier 1 core, and our manager was let go! The layoff wave has started. Good luck.

Just heard through the grapevine that some major layoffs are coming for L-EMC folks

time to jump ship...

Redundancies in small numbers in APJ

My morale is zero, but I guess there are a lot of people who started to despise their job here. What is the management doing to raise morale? Pretty much nothing.

Are the rumors true?

It is quite obvious that the older you are, regardless of how skilled and knowledgeable you are, it is very likely that you will be a target in the case of cuts. On the other hand, it is difficult to start from scratch with 50+. How close to... — read more 

Are you required to notify your manager if you planning to find another job within the company? I know if you apply via the HR site, it will notify your manager but how about contacting over teams/ email?

Since I joined in 2009 I've had one good manager. She ended up being laid off. I have no idea why, but I know the company made a huge mistake. Everybody else was either incompetent, had no management skills, or was threatened by everybody on the team... — read more 

Hi, I have an offer from an external company that if Dell were to match it, I would be willing to stay. (Have seen loads of times over the years this happening). However, I have heard that due to the external hiring freeze this is also not permitted... — read more

Is this a real thing as it seems to be till next year?

Years ago during the EMC acquisition Dell forced everyone to sign a non-compete. Now that we’re going thru a RIF does anyone know if those are valid? Enforced? What defines a competitor? Is it just a hardware manufacturer?

If Dell continues to cut the best employees and leaves the ones that hardly work at all, then this company is being self-destructive. And it looks like that this is exactly what is happening, the good employees are the main target?

Everyone gone,

Coming up on the Q3 All hands and there hasnt been any word at all in any of the all hands to date about if were on track for bonus.....not a good sign IMO

Dell seems to me to be doing only short term planning, which of course creates problems in the long run. I'm anxious about the possibility of being cut given the state of the job market, but surviving layoffs is a trap. Those who survive often... — read more 

then there are smaller layoffs happening that go under the radar. I wish it wasn't true, but in case it is, could someone please provide more details.

Does anybody know the standard Dell package for redunacies? Have had enough so this wouldnt be a bad thing for me if it did happen.

Expense freeze, headcount freeze and no replacement hires. Not seen this happen in years. What are we about to do.

With everybody and their mother in tech laying employees off, I'd think our leadership would have jumped at the opportunity to join the party.

Almost no one regrets leaving Dell. That's why I'm surprised by those who are hesitant about whether to accept a solid offer when they get it or stay here for a while longer?

It is easy for someone who has already left Dell to advise others to leave this place. That's good advice, but unfortunately, it's not easy for everyone to get a better offer and leave this. I have already become depressed because I have been... — read more 

I am choosing Dell which has at least sound business model.

The second half is going to be rough. I don't care how the government tries to spin it.

When I think of ol' EMC Corp the image of fat and old Brandon Frasier pops up.. He used to fly high in the first years of 21st century and now is nearly forgotten. Is there a DELL product which is designed within some of the old EMC divisions these... — read more 

The entire tech industry is about to get hit hard. The business cycle can be brutal.

I believe that there are not many companies where I would be paid less for the amount of work I do. When I hear how much those who left Dell are paid now, I get even more depressed about the fact that I'm still stuck here. I keep getting more and... — read more 

Has anybody actually heard of layoffs? If so what areas and numbers and depts? And if not do we actually think they are gonna happen and when. Would be helpful for people to have a heads up and start on exit plans.

Ive been here a while and overall i love my job and work with great people. Plenty of work to do too. To be honest i am growing very tired of the over the top "Woke, diversity this, all inclusive that" bulls**t that is becoming so prevalent....its... — read more
