Did anyone leave Dell for some time and then decided to come back? Are they welcoming? I heard it is the best way to get a promotion.

Anyone hear of more cuts? Have an offer which is kind of open ended on a start date (friend of a friend). Dell is making me really depressed so would like to start sooner rather than later but dont want to miss out on any package. Even if it is a... —  read more 

Does anyone have 2 full time jobs without employers knowledge?

Rumors of remaining sales people having workloads doubled and many demotions. Those receiving the WFR may turn out to be the lucky ones.

So many talented and loyal employees were once again cut. None of the actual fat was removed because we all know the lazy ones are protected by their friends/family higher up the chain. This was once a great company but they're flushing it down the... —  read more 

I found out last Wednesday, and my last day is tomorrow. I don't understand why senior people didn't get cut first.

We briefly touched on the layoffs without going into any specifics.. SHOCKER.. It was stated that layoffs were done for now... "At least for the next 4-5 months." I have a hunch more is coming after the holidays. Has anyone had similar meetings... —  read more 

Is it just me or am I the only one that sees some of the management styles within Dell as counter-productive unconstructive and effortless. IE your management is all talk and no do. As well as some other positions that could be repurposed and... —  read more 

If there was any motivation left, it's all gone now. Instead of the company making every effort to keep the best employees, Dell gets rid of them. I watched as they cut some of the best employees while retaining the most incompetent ones. Do... —  read more 

I work for Dell Romania.. I get on really well with my manager and we had a quiet word over coffee. He has heard that massive layoffs are coming down the line. He had no timeline, that's all he had heard.

Had a meeting earlier today - leaders have a script to read from and everything. Not sure how long into the future this will persist but supposedly we’ll get official word from ELT after folks laid off exit (so after the 16th). Anyone else get... —  read more 

I've been laid off twice during my almost three decades long career. Each time was scary, but each time I ended up in a better position afterward. There are many employers who can appreciate experience and knowledge and are willing to pay for it. It... —  read more

Anywhere else having them?

Seeing them lay off employees once again based on how much somebody is making and not based on their contributions proved to me how little Dell cares about us. We're nothing but numbers here. I know this is not exclusive to Dell but I also know for a... —  read more 

Heard that this past week was mostly sales teams impacted but wondering if marketing or sales ops layoff are also on the horizon, or already happening

I work from bed for 20 mins a day for Dell and get paid a huge salary . Working from bed is awesome.

The most incompetent people I ever worked with are still there. There are still a lot of talented people at Dell, but it's becoming more and more obvious that there is no room for them here. Why is that so? Why let the talent go to the competition... —  read more
