With 401k match gone, what's the next thing they might cut? Or will they focus strictly on layoffs from now on?

When Dell is forced to reduce the workforce, how do you think it'll happen? Will they give notice and do it in stages? I'm nervous that they are going to announce it during the quarterly on Thursday. Can those of you who have worked for the company... —  read more 

Quotas don’t seem to consider the economic situation, and continue to rise at a pace that can only be accomplished through new customer acquisition. It would appear the strategy is to over quota your more tenured reps while giving something more... —  read more 

So many ungrateful whiners talking about throwing in the towel over your 401k match being cut...which at most equaled $7k per year. S— it up and keep on going or quit. Ive some Dell to Sell and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

How about that 401K for AMER?!! Hold on tight everyone, here we go....

We are suspending the U.S. 401(k) match for all eligible team members effective June 1, 2020, with the last match set for May 29, 2020. You will notice the change in your first June paycheck. You can continue to contribute on an individual basis, but... —  read more 

Just heard the news. Effective June 1st. Unbelievable.

Dell has stopped matching the 40k benefit. If this step can keep people employed it will be worth it.

How long will it be before they announce these measures weren't enough and they are laying off? We are expected to work harder, longer hours for less and less reward. There's been a huge increase in digital traffic, yet Dell is struggling?

Dell drops 401k company match through remainder of fiscal year.

Hope Dell does the right thing and pulls out of China soon. Tensions are starting to rise.

The Covid period has been well handled internally at Dell. There were no huge layoffs and no stupid knee jerk reactions. Yes the market is a mess but there was immediate "stay home" followed by a very well done series of Virtual engagements, training... —  read more 

I'm assuming the answer is no, but it would be nice to get confirmation.

Today it was announced internally that Michael Dell is foregoing his salary this year and all raises, promotions and bonuses are cancelled for the remainder of the year. The axe is coming. Short DELL if you have a portfolio.

Memo just sent out from JC. The promotions this year are being skipped. No out of band promotions and no overtime unless specifically agreed.

The UK is seeing layoffs of time served staff, normally senior that don't bow to immature management.

Is it true some people have been laid off last week? Not furloughed, but laid off?

Given lack of work and WFH do you think Dell will opt to use furlough as a means for decreasing payroll closts. I am really interested in seeing how things play out - all of this is sad. We had small layoffs today in Austin.

Many BUs affected, many experienced people let go. They are using C19 to purge the ranks.

@Dell just informed me that after 24 years of exemplary service my position is being eliminated. In the same breath I was also informed that 4 new hires would be taking my place from another continent and that I should not worry because I had the... —  read more 

No internal or external hiring unless it’s critical until May 1. Includes internal and external hiring. Just came down late yesterday. No news about lay-offs, but people are getting concerned.

how long can the Dell stock drop before they have to make some hard decisions, or will they try to ride it out as long as they can?

Watch Atlanta. Long-time field rep "layed off". Customer focus out the window.

Yeah, I'll be staying at Dell for awhile!

January is nearing its end and I'm getting more and more nervous...

Cork, North Carolina and Mass seeing huge lay offs . Out with the old and in with the new! Lot of supply chain work moving away . Rumours of 5% RIF

Not a whole lot of negativity or speculation anymore. Staff treated well, customers happy, strategy appears to be working with customers.

Really? Retire or cutting his loses?? I don't know about this guys.. seems like we are about to get packages.
