No reorg in MRES this week. Are we sure it's coming? HOP was layoff free. Any known layoffs today?

Just shut down this sinking company or at least please let the storage division die in peace. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/08/dell_technologies_q2_2018/

I Am curious about Customer Service, as EMC had big field service org, and Dell mostly use partners in the past, what will the model be going forward ? any one head news

I will never go back to work with such a BUNCH of incompetent managers. They lie to employees and bosses and will stab you in the back in a heartbeat!

maybe tomorrow

That's why we haven't heard numbers except 2-3k from M.D which we all know will be more. That was just a toss up number to answer questions about layoffs to the press. A public company (ie: on the stock market) does if there is going to be more than... — read more 

Dell HR is mostly rubbish. The whole goddamn org is operated by a group of less than 10. The rest are dumbest people ever met.

In the last year or so Dell EMC is laying off roughly 500-600 people in diverse geographical locations every month. This makes for about 7,000 people per year. If the pace of the layoffs continues unabated for 4-5 years this will result in 35K people... — read more

Wait for some reorg announcements in Storage in the next few days. Layoffs will be based on these reports.

This is something I have witnessed in my three year stint in Dell Bangalore. Majority of the employees don't have any regard to the company and the relationship is just utilitarian. You get paid and stay employed. There is no sense of company culture... — read more 

What we are witnessing in terms of layoff in Dell is not some major stab mega layoff. Right across August layoffs have happened across sites where 20 people here and 10 people there have been fired every other day. Just in the last three days there... — read more 

Okay, I've got to ask. Where is all this "layoffs are certain in the next two months" coming from? I'm yet to find any concrete info on it, but it keeps popping up all over the place. I thought that the latest round would have made sure we were safe... — read more

Hi all, I just wanted to write this to give people a glimmer of hope. I was an EMC employee for over 9 years. I never had any illusions of retiring from EMC (I started with them at 31 years old), but when they layoffs hit us in November 2017, to say... — read more

There is a rumor that the package will change after Sept . It will not be as generous and change to a basic Dell package or no package .

Got word that CDW will begin selling Pure Storage September/October. EMC had an gentlemen's agreement to give them more kickbacks on deals. Since the major decline (as much as 60%) in EMC products going through CDW they have decided to begin selling... — read more

Michael is going to be in Hopkinton on Thursday. He is meeting Storage leadership team in person for brief minutes. Wonder what will be his message.

NDC laid off full time employees and still kept consultants at 120$/hr. Does anyone think and know of managers/directors cut on this. This should be exposed. If this is true, this is truly ridiculous. Not sure what can be done about it, but the whole... — read more 

With all this layoff going on I really do wish they will axe directors. my director earns 5 times more but cannot for the life of her make any decision or provide any directions, instead let the consultants manage and run her department while she... — read more 

Can anyone please share what is the layoff package like ? Much appreciated..................................

Eventually both will control Hopkinton. Get rid of Walter as QA head, he is bribed by NDC. As a QA head he knows what is going on and he still doesn't care. He wants to keep his job and private airplane. He wants Dell to pay for everything.

From what I heard today XIO will not be around much longer

I really wanna say this. Lot of people work from home in Hopkinton and NDC. Some employees send email at morning 5 or 6 saying VPN is not working or unable to connect to blue or red networks. Or issues with pgnet. That's just bogus, it means a day... — read more
