While I'm not sure "huge" is correct, i can confirm its happening. I was just laid off last week and my mentor let me know he's doing layoffs this week in his org as well. Dunno how large, but it's definitely going on.

I know people are saying major layoffs are coming sometime this week, but I call bull. I don't remember that we ever had layoffs immediately after Memorial Day, and I doubt Dell is about to start now. I'm not disputing we'll have more layoffs, but it... — read more 

Just got word from bro at the EDB that the government won't renew the tax deal with Dell in 2019. That means it becomes too expensive for SDC to be viable and very like SDC will close down after 2019!

Don’t kid yourselves. There is a HUGE round of WFR coming next week. The hammer is going to swing hard and fast in RTP. I will return in a week and say “told yah so” ...

The annual ritual culling date is just a week away. Layoffs are going to be huge this time. Indications have come that it is going to be a crosssite exercise. This will be by far the biggest sacrificial orgy in EMC history. The countdown begins.

I just received first results. Including the comments. We know who you are just like yoda knows who is darth vader.

Apparently, there is a new vision in place from JC that avoids product overlap and focuses on a single data protection product going ahead. Clearly not all of Avamar, NetWorker and eCDM would continue to be developed. That would be a big impact to... — read more

First, I am a realist. Dell has more good employees (including management) than bad just like most other companies. The pay is fair, work there for a few years and try to leave, in this market you will probably take a pay cut. With no college degree... — read more

Forget drinking the koolaid, time to take a bite of the big omelet.

I hear glowing words on the new NVMe array PowerMAX which ascends from VMAX . It is a kick-a-- machine which will utterly destroy Pure and Infinidat aspirations toward the high end, 7-sigma storage. Opinions?

I heard that Dell is requiring employees to use their personal social media accounts to advertise for the company. They're told they have to or they won't get far with the company. Anyone else hear that?

Should I take it as good news that there has been very little if any discussion on actual layoffs lately? Is it finally slowing down?

this is the next Enron.

Engineers, do not apply to be engineers, instead apply to be managers, we need more thought leaders. Enough with incompetent management unable to identify potential and understanding the internet.

Many managers, or wannabe managers are taught to manage up. I have one, not at MSD, that refuses to manage his own team. However, he manages the teams interaction with who we report to extremely well. As the next level only cares about what they... — read more
