Any layoffs from Round Rock?

My son-in-law was one of Dell’s top salesmen for small businesses. He was laid of at the end of July. He received gift cards and gifts for his performance even through the week he was laid off. Not a way to keep valuable employees. He worked there... — read more 

I have 10 official PTO unused. Was told it cannot be compensated in any kind.

had a few friends in utah mention they were let go this morning. since most of us work from home now was curious how many more were let go?

I see a bunch of jobs posted by Dell on Linkedin. How is this possible? Are we laying off older and better paid people just to immediately replace them with younger folks? Does not sound legit.

What do you think?

Has one person who actually deserved to be laid off been shown the door in this round? I know a few people who contribute a big, fat zero and yet they're still here. Why is this always the case?

At least for the month, right?

What is really sad is a couple of years ago, Dell updated their employment contracts and coerced all legacy employees to sign new employment terms which contain non-compete provisions for 12 months. So you get laid off, you get some severance... — read more

This is a total cash grab by Dell Technologies. Layoffs are NOT needed. They are taking advantage of the economic uncertainty caused by Covid and grabbing cash to pay down the debt faster. There has been two consecutive great quarters despite the... — read more 

I am already a complete mess - if there're going to be layoffs I'd rather hear about the results today than have to go through this same feeling for another several days. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. But sadly, from the look... — read more

Hi, I am hearing about a good few Dell people being WFR'd, but not one ex EMC employee. Is this just the reverse takeover moving forward?

We were told in earlier posts we should expect 6% or 10k layoffs to happen incrementally across the month of August...on Thursdays. I'd say it is way too quiet today for that to be true. A good sign hopefully that there are fewer than anticipated. — read more 

Less than 50k after tax and a thank you for 4 years of service. To all the people who said a WFR is a lotto ticket it's not. Ive got a few weeks to go find a job in this climate. Be grateful you have one
