SDC Layoffs?
Any layoffs in SDC Singapore?
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?
Serious question - Why not run Voluntary Redundancies?
Looking through all these posts, if they are true, we are reducing headcount across a wide spectrum of roles. It's head count driven. Right now the people who want to leave the most are likely to be the ones in the roles that are the most... — read more
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
Three Questions Please.
Three Questions Please. Can you still get unemployment if you get a severance? If so, does the severance reduce your unemployment amount? Was there any additional severance for employees over 50 years of age? Seems like it might take... — 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
Tell Dell: let your voice be heard
Should the thread be copied to the survey?
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

Any layoffs for TDC yet?
This week has been brutal
Is it too much to hope that it's over? That I can finally relax?
Any lay off news for apj region?
Anyone hear anything? It’s so quiet
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
Services layoff
Anyone know if the layoffs in Services are done or still to be continue? This really s—s all energy out of me to work. Should I be working or should I be out looking for jobs?
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?
People arent buying enough of what the big vendors are selling.
At some point there was probably a white space map for fax machines. And as people started using email the fax companies would have thrown in more and more sales people to push and push harder for fax machines. "Email hurts your eyes" and "paper is... — read more
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.
Done
I was told first thing yesterday morning that my position was eliminated. HR person sounded like they were reading from a script and plugged in what #s were relevant to me. Allegedly the box to send my laptop back won’t arrive for awhile. Why would I... — read more
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
When will this end?
Are the lay offs Only this week or will it continue for a few more weeks? When will we know? When will this nightmare end?
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
VP's and Directors
Are VP's and Directors affected? How about Austin Parmer? anyone there affected?
MA employees - you are entitled to your unused Vacation!
If you are in MA and are part of this layoff, remember that we are legally entitled to unused vacation in this state. The paperwork and the HR representative said it was 'forfeited' but that is illegal. You need to INSIST they include it. Mine will... — read more
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
dell has been quietly laying off people for 12 months for those who don't know. Just a few here and there, this big round of layoffs was announced only because they needed to move faster. I am sure they will go back into quiet layoff mode after they... — read more
Rescheduled 1:1
What happens if I call in sick and miss then 1:1? Is Dell forced to postpone my layoff?
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
More today?
Thursday is usually a big layoffs day, so I'm thinking we might see more today. Can anybody confirm?
Europe Anyone
Has anyone heard of layoffs in Europe yet? From the comments so far this all seems to be happening in the US?
HPC group- Onur (director) Austin parmer
Any news from this group?
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.
