What's the next doomsday prediction by the ex dell laid off crowd dimewits
Marching orders :Cutting Costs
If you are not female or in a minority you have no chance of progression i.e Project Moonshot. The Senior VPs, VPs have already submitted names to the Directors and Human Resources. Realignments and WFR will be continuous through the year will be... — read more
I hope we can relax a bit
Of course, one should always be prepared, but it doesn't seem to me that there could be layoffs in near future? That's just my personal impression, I hope so anyway.
Acquisition?
Any rumors on acquisitions? It would be weird to see Dell acquired after the uge EMC acquisition on 6 years ago.
Future is bright
Hey Guys, Did you see the beat??? Naysayers said so and so. They still are at it with the eminent collapse. I told you guys not to worry. No layoffs thru July. MMcfly
Dell will beat earnings today.
Watch N C
Anybody work in Fed inside sales?
I don't know how Fed works, wondering what their WFH policy is. Consindering moving over there next half. Currently inside Enterprise sales...
Q1 REVENUES ARE UGLY
HUGE LAYOFFS COMING DUE TO UGLY Q1 REVENUES ARE THEY UGLY
Economic downturn
Our leadership uses economic downturn as an excuse for all the bad things happening in the company. Do you think the situation at Dell would have been any better if the economic crisis had not happened?
All is clear ahead
Took the Delorean out past July. All is well at Dell. Enjoy the summer and don't listen to the rumours here. mMcFly
Summer Fridays??
Any news about summer fridays this year?
Tell Dell question
If you give detractor level responses and then are laid off before the results are tabulated and published, will your results not be part of the final tabulation since you are no longer an employee. Makes you wonder. If it is truly anonymous, then... — read more
Expectations are too high
I've noticed that a lot of people still have too high expectations for Dell. Why is that? Hasn't this company proven countless times that we shouldn't get our hopes up? Expecting changes for the better is just a waste of time. Just my 2 cents.
No mass layoffs so far?
Obviously the May 22nd and 23rd layoff email was BS?
Hoping for a WFR
With the increased workload people have and negativity within the buisness I find it harder and harder to get anything done. I am a really hard worker usually and can honestly say that while working from home Dell has had its pound of flesh from me... — read more
VCE from Franklin is being sold
People working for VCE are going to get a wake up call, if the order goes through or not most likely NOT, I heard from a source of mine DELL is going to sell VCE, it's on the works!! FRANKLIN is DOOMED.
Keeping current with industry trends and practices
Someone mentioned it here and I absolutely agree - those at the top are not really in touch with what's going on in this industry. It's becoming more and more obvious isn't it?

June 2nd is likely - heard from credible source
Mass layoffs planned around by 2 sources who are close to the board. Very targeted looks like. Do not negotiate severance without an attorney. You are legally allowed to record the zoom call - check local laws in your state. Do not sign severance... — read more
time to unionize technical support ISG!!!!!!!!
i never thought i would think or say this, ive always hated unions and thought they were not needed and an abuse of us workers. but after the last year and the way the support teams are being treated, i don't think there is any other option for us... — read more
So big so global so always
there's always a layoff or reduction going on somewhere in the world. that is the nature of global corps unfortunately everyone in this forum conflates every local tremor to some sort of giant super quake. also add in the lot of bitterness and wild... — read more
Email from an SVP
Our SVP sent an email stating “this is your opportunity to show your commitment to ensuring we are successful”. What do they think I’ve been doing these last 18 years?! How condescending and insulting. I love my job but let’s not forget I’m only... — read more
WFR - Any Reality to the Rumors?
Seems like we are getting closer to the rumored dates of another big WFR. I’m not hearing any additional rumors besides the ones on this page. Anyone else hearing any credible information? Thanks!
Tell Dell: How Honest?
Play the game or give the honest truth?

Massive layoffs coming in June
Looks like the next round is in June, it will be a bloodbath this time.
RTO- likely reason
I believe this is all related to tax break deals originally made with states/countries/cities long before Covid. I think those government entities are coming back to the companies and enforcing those agreements now that the pandemic is over as those... — read more
It's impossible to relax and be productive
Dell simply doesn't allow employees to feel safe and do their job to the best of their ability? As soon as we relax, rumors about new layoffs start circulating. I'm tired of everything and it's definitely time to look for a new job.
Tell Dell: Bring back the VSP
When Tell Dell comes out, tell them to bring back the VSP. Give the 10% that aren’t happy that want to leave an option to leave.
Looking for a new job
Honest question - how is your search for a new job going? I am becoming desperate because I haven't been able to find anything better for a while now, and the situation here has become unbearable.
WFR.Are further layoffs coming?
Has anyone heard any actual WFR's are coming or is this again just rumours? Just looking at comments on this thread. Rumours are we are being worked out slowly and painfully.
EMC people are Better
Let's be honest here. Dell married up with EMC acquisition. Prince Harry to Dell's Meghan Markle
June Looms
June looms in the distance. Don't get comfortable.
There is life outside of Dell
I intend to leave in case I have to come to the office. Anyone else? Literally the ability to work from home is the only thing that still keeps me here. If I don't have that option anymore, there are quite enough solid options outside of this... — read more
RTO - Every major tech company is doing it. (Michael) Dell was just the holdout.
WFH was clearly Michael Dell's core belief. Seems like some internal politics and a boss move by Jeff Clarke happened. Michael will leave the company he founded sometime over the quiet summer. There may be a major merger/acquisition coming up. But... — read more
This will be short term - but had to happen. Hiring issue not a company issue
We've been told to RTO as have all the teams around us. I have always worked from home over the past 15 years. During COVID it worked for a while but then we kept hiring and hiring timid students and people who were attracted to working from bed. It... — read more
Just got the word
Manager reached out to me today after a meeting with our director. There will be no mandatory RTO for our group. It is entirely optional.
RTO - Just some clear reasons that this is good
Short post and ready to be flamed. I have worked from home for a decade with Dell and support work from home as a whole. It is far more productive for me and the customers we manage. So does some of the team. But I am not the problem. The problem... — read more
