I need some positive stories

Any chance I can get people who are in their fifties and up who were laid off and found a new job with similar pay to share their stories?

WFR Profile?

In your experience what is the profile of those who have been WFR'd the last few months? Managers? Techies? 40/50+ etc?

Take advantage

Good thing in all of this is that Dell name still carries significant weight and it's still a major asset on your resume. If you are applying for jobs, chances are it'll be a major plus if you still work here. Now is the perfect time to take... — read more

Was anybody told to reapply?

A question for those who were laid off last week: has anybody been told they could reapply after some time has passed? A friend who was affected said his manager might have hinted at something like that to him, but I think that’s just wishful... — read more

Question about the Tech Industry

During my time at Dell, it never felt quite right. I am curious if the story they told about the constant reorg-ing is true? Every couple of months my role changed or I got a new manager (or both). In fact the first day I started I discovered my boss... — read more

Learning Experience

After being impacted on Wednesday, I have felt a range of emotions. But thankfully I will be ok financially. One of the reasons why is because Massachusetts requires PTO to be paid out in the last paycheck and I didn’t realize right away that my last... — read more

Dell IT @Roundrock -Shameful

I understand companies have to tighten belt at bad times. I cannot blame Dell for that. But Jeff Clarke, you told folks will be treated with dignity. However what happened is anything but dignified. You fired a bunch US citizens while 80 percent or... — read more 

Those left now are screwed too in many cases...

As awful as it is that good people were let go, the people on their teams who are still there in many cases will be expected to do their current work plus the work of the people that were let go. The work doesnt go away. Especially awful if you... — read more

What are the terms of the WFR?

I saw a document that mentioned 2 weeks per year of service + 75% of bonuses vesting in the 90 days after termination. Can anyone confirm this?

November

I heard layoffs could continue through November. Some groups are being asked to fill out questionnaires listing what they spend their time on, each day.

That's life in these big corps - for better and for worse

I've been in this industry a long time, have survived many rounds of layoffs, and an employer who went bankrupt and closed shop. When the going is good, we get good conditions and perks, especially in this industry. When things get tough, we are just... — read more

Just do it already

It's just downright painful to go to work these days. The waiting is really dragging everybody down. Any so called efficiency is more than shot now. Nobody's smiling, nobody's enthused, nobody cares, nobody knows if they will have a job tomorrow... — read more

Nature of the business

A strong observation from The Register this morning. "The nature of the tech business means that some products lose currency and job cuts follow, often at the same time as furious hiring to bring on new staff with new skills. IT is also supposed... — read more

MA employees - you are entitled to your unused Vacation!

You can't prepare for something like this

Many of us at Dell knew layoffs were coming sooner or later. I made it a point to keep my resume and LinkedIn profile up to date and to scan websites like Indeed, Glassdoor, etc. in anticipation of layoffs. And yet it still felt like a ‘wham bam... — read more

Layoffs have been ongoing

Gone - and good riddance

I was one of the biggest achievers in the country this year, I guess my age didn’t fit with their plans ( 50), but at least it means I’ll knock them out of the park in my next job - their Achilles heel is there for all to see. And I can’t help... — read more

Any meaningful layoffs in NDC

Free paycheck, bonus, LTI with no work for KA for 11 years, guess it won’t change. He is more political and powerful.
