So who's getting laid off then?
Dpd Reorg?
I'm hearing of a reorg in dpd or s2. Anyone know anything??
I am hearing..
That Dell EMC at Hopkinton is paying off more than 15% yearly bonuses and have raised the salaries by more than 8% for the Engineers there. Is that true?
Can Dell still offer anything appealing to young talent?
This company is dangerously stuck in the past. Management pretends not to see it, but the company is crying out for young and talented people, who however are applying for Google or Facebook and don’t even think of applying here. Now I'm not even... — read more
When are merit increases?
I've been in technical sales over a year now and I've never gotten a "bonus" I hear others talk about. When do merit increases happen? Q1? March?
Where is the logic in that?
All those rumors about layoffs that are around the corner just don't make any sense to me. I don't understand why would a company lay off workers while at the same time being very short staffed. It goes against common sense but I guess at Dell... — read more
Dell keeps on taking away!
Laid off (WFR) and paying thousands for COBRA out of pocket. Once again Dell claws back! Beat the he-l out of us to use Virgin Pulse to get rewards. Went through weeks of recording stats only to get a mail yesterday saying it was a mistake and Dell... — read more
When will 2022 Dell layoffs start? Who will be affected?
What do you predict? I think it'll be end of March 2022, but I am not sure. What's your prediction.
I left after 23 years
I didn't have much trouble landing a new position that pays slightly better than Dell. This company is still a great reference that opens many doors. Rightfully or not, you decide. I admit it was scary leaving a place where I've spent more than two... — read more
I just got an offer from Dell in sales and strategy. Is it worth joining it?
I just got an offer from Dell in sales and strategy. I am worried about the layoff articles I have been reading here which makes me wonder if it's worth joining??
Any layoff news??
It's a new year and wondering if any rumors or news out there for 2022?

Can somebody tell me how the Glassdoor reputation scores are so easily manipulated?
Do you trust the company reputation scores which Glassdoor maintain and updates? I used to work for horribly managed company, it had the worst management I have seen in my 20+ years career as software engineer. The management was making absolutely... — read more
Reopening delayed again???
Will the reopening be delayed again due to omicron? Seems most companies are delaying.
Are we really underpaid compared to other big tech companies?
Damn this isn't a layoff post. But I'm curious, anybody have hard numbers on what we're making vs someone at another company in a like for like role?
Greetings to DELLers and EMC haters!
Guess what - EMC survives and soon will be resurrected! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79HFkkHzCpw
They can get away with anything
I'm curious, what does a manager need to do to get reprimanded at Dell, not to mention let go? I can tell you they can treat their direct reports like cr-p, including being verbally abusive towards them, and foster a toxic work environment and suffer... — read more
Unable to stop the attrition?
People are not leaving because of the problems they have had since yesterday. People are leaving because of issues that have been piling up here for years. Just like those issues did not appear suddenly, it is impossible to solve them all at... — read more
People here develop thick skin over time
I made the jump off that sinking ship a little while back. Because of the toxic work environment at Dell, my new position has been relatively easy. I did have to catch up on the new tech, but I am doing okay there. You don't know how sick the Dell... — read more
The great resignation
Forget layoffs, the resignations right now are high.
One ISG
I’ve finally quit after getting really bored. Over the past 2 years and since they started with the One ISG transformation, my workload dropped by 70% while I received 2 promotions for doing much less work. My colleagues and I were sitting idle most... — read more
Dell doesn’t strive for better, but it demands a lot from employees
It's interesting. While some are "forgiven" for their mediocrity here, others are asked for too much. The fact that some of us face unrealistic demands would be somehow acceptable if this was a company that also strived for the better. If we are... — read more
It's not good to stay here very long
Even if you are quite satisfied and feel safe (as much as possible), it is not good to stay here for more than two years. Otherwise, this is a place where you will slowly become less marketable because your skills will atrophy. I am talking from the... — read more
Which company is better - DELL or Microsoft?
I am considering job offers from both companies. I am software engineer and I am thinking to choose DELL. They say it is better and less stressful to work in it..
Layoffs in november ??
Heard some people got a two week notice last friday (nov 5th) ?? Is this part of matching numbers with the VMW spinoff ? This isn't their typical time of the year
HR case for federal vaccination requirement
Has anyone that hasn't been vaccinated yet opened an HR case to check if they're included in the federal vaccination requirement? They had mentioned it was necessary to open an HR case by 11/5 and I was wondering what the HR response was like.
Gimme a fat severance package
Buy me out!
Replacement = irreversibly lost knowledge
Dell thinks everyone is easily replaceable, but that's not the case. If by replacement they mean to replace an excellent employee who has the expertise, skills and experience, with an employee who has none of that - then it is true, everyone is ... — read more
Unreasonable deadlines
Is it just happening to me or are the deadlines at Dell becoming increasingly unreasonable? I have a lot of experience thanks to which I still somehow manage to meet the deadlines, but I have a colleague who did not come here so long ago and who is... — read more
New Covid retirement for US
What is the perceived consequences for those requesting to not get the shot, willing to be tested, but still being targeted to be terminated?
Had Enough!!!
Seriously.I have just had enough of this company. I have worked at this company for over 20 years and have had my fair share of ups and downs, as well as Dell being very supportive over the years and also working with some great team members and... — read more
Sales Engineers - you're all going to be replaced by cheap talent
You already knew this was happening with the offshore sales desk that started a couple of years ago. Hiring H-1B's while you're laying off US employees... by the way H-1B's are not cheap to sponsor, but probably cheaper than US employee benefits... — read more
Forbes World's Best Employers

It’s a mess, just watch Deepak, the ring leader of the mess, he will be out. How many jobs will have to pay the price for his snake oil.
How many were cut?
Two weeks since Dell announced some cuts I’ve spent hoping that I might find myself on the layoff list but nothing happened. I’m glad at least that some other people, who were afraid of it, that they are still there. Do you know how many people were... — read more
Real LAYOFF Questions for the LAYOFF site!
Does Dell ever push back on state unemployment benefits for laid off employees? I have to re-up and unemployment is waiting a response. Thanks everyone!
Newbies have no enthusiasm
When I think back to my first month when I came to Dell, I was very enthusiastic and tried to show everything I know, and I didn’t really know all that much. However, I had colleagues who pointed out some things to me and helped me. What is... — read more
Dell is still among the best
Say what you will, but Dell is still among the best employers. I've worked at several other industry giants before and I know the true definition of a toxic culture. What we have is certainly not it. I think people are simply too sensitive these days... — read more
