I was listening to a team talk the other day and it really hit home that there are other strategies in place in all organisations (including Dell) to keep "producing assets" (People) and remove non producing costs. Right now, that's buildings... —  read more 

What now - does that mean that VMWare is going slowly to the dogs? I think not - VMWare still has people like Fidelma Russo and Chad Sakac!

Me thinks this blog is about to light up with news of pending FY22 WFR. It hit me by surprise back in September, looking back there was nothing I could’ve done differently to avoid being let go. Things have gotten worse post- September ‘20. Not... —  read more 

What types of surveillance does Dell use to monitor their employees. Example. Mobile conversation recording? Zoom monitoring? I’m not paranoid, (we’ll maybe?). I didn’t do anything crazy, but really just curious. Please don’t reply if you... —  read more 

That will really help when laid off

Does Dell HR give out salary info to prospective employers? I’ve interviewed for a new position and I’m wondering if they give that info out. I fudged mine just a little (seriously just a little) but now I’m wondering if they give that stuff out. I... —  read more 

Seems we now get MLK day off this year.

Did anyone else get a notification that their Virgin Pulse part of the Wellness Hub was being cancelled effective Feb 4th? Could this be a sign of pending layoffs? Or was this an expected thing after completing the wellness incentives for the health... —  read more 

I am wondering how everyone is doing that was laid off in Sept.? Have most found jobs? If not, how is the search going? I am still looking but had a few very promising interviews this week so I am hopeful an offer will come out of it soon. So... —  read more 

Christmas is next week and people are still not sure if they're safe from layoffs in 2020. Imagine how much you have to fail as a company for that to be true? And to think Dell was once known as a place to go if you wanted to grow your career. Well... —  read more 

January, or Q1'22 (Feb) ?

Were there or are there December layoffs? My colleague said Dell laid off right before the holiday one year? Someone.... please say they didn’t- wouldn’t!

how much is the merit increases usually? my last increase was 2.5%. also, what is the salary range for a c3 non people manager? nobody can seem to tell me

I know we all fill out the telldell survey, but management can interpret the results however they like. Statistics can be manipulated. How is your motivation level at work?

The IT industry wasn't spared either, as event cancellations, layoffs and falling earnings affected legacy vendors and startups alike. And on top of all that,... https://www.crn.com/2020-year-in-review

Anyone have any insight as to when the company match will be reinstated? If it goes much longer into next year, that may be a big reason for a mass exodus.

My manager brought forward our regular 1:1 to 9am on Wednesday... Glup....

I know several people who were laid-off from CCO after Karen Quintos left. Some of them had been there 15+ years and were top performers. Some were let go immediately and others were given a month to ty to find a new role. Most of them were older and... —  read more 

Why no ask for candidates rather than hacking away at the workforce? Is there a financial or other reason Dell would rather push people out rather than ask if any want to leave?

Anyone hearing solid info. regarding lay-off this month or through the quarter. Did Dell complete layoffs announced on September or is there more to come?

Question. I think my number is coming up for next layoffs. For anyone recently laid off- Were there any signs or symptoms that your lay-off was on the works? Is there anything that you wished you would have said or when lay-off notice was being... —  read more 

Now that the dust of the first layoff has settled, I’ve been hearing some anecdotal cautionary tales from laid off peers that they did not express 100% satisfaction in their first TellDell. I didn’t do that first TD survey and was “randomly... —  read more 

This can't keep happening. They remove one more person from my team and we might as well lock the door and throw away the key. I think that people who decide who to lay off have no idea what most of us are doing and what (and how many people) it... —  read more 

When are the next layoffs in Dell ?

Laid off in Sept. I've received severance, remaining commissions, and COBRA. Everything except shipping boxes to send equipment back. Has anyone else received these? Do they really want a 5 y/o printer back? Shipping costs are probably higher than... —  read more

So it continues, the EMC management dismantling a successful Dell business unit brick by brick. Could it have anything to do with the fact the Dell GCCS VP was growing business ($1.4b) whilst the EMC manager's number ($400m) was stagnating, even with... —  read more

After everything that’s happened since the September cuts does anyone still enjoy working here? Or are they treating their job as just a paycheck and couldn’t care less? Work has been doubled, pay is the same (at least for me), and environment has... —  read more 

New layoffs in APJ. Storage related

Wasn't it Jeff Clark that stated they would bring down the silos in Dell. I guess he forgot to mention they would build bigger ones along with Empires too! Everything is based on the biggest graphs and charts nothing else..... They keep... —  read more 

Worst graphics I've ever seen. Lowest customer attendance.

I'm ready to move on - after 20+ years at Dell/EMC I have enough savings to retire. But if you quit you get 2 weeks pay and they kiss you goodbye. Dell k–led the VSP program (Voluntary Separation Package), so there I am, working a little less every... —  read more 

I heard VCE is moving out of FRANKLIN and up for sale for that division can this be true???
