I love it when others respond to some rumor about cuts with the belief that there is no chance of there being layoffs anytime soon. Is Dell such a stable company that it gives such a sense of security to someone to confirm that there are no layoffs... —  read more

With the uptick in pc sales this year due to covid and the work for home culture, with covid restrictions starting to ease up, do we anticipate Dell to slip back to marginal again. Server and storage is down and pc sales is up, but if pc sales... —  read more

A few of my colleagues are frothing at the mouth over Dell hiring amid all the layoffs and changes (or more like cuts) in benefits. They can't believe it's happening. Franky, there's nothing surprising to me there. Dell wanted to get rid of the... —  read more 

I'm relatively new at Dell and working in a small group on a very specific project. My question to those who've been with Dell for a while: historically did Dell usually layoff people/group who worked on canceled projects right away, or did they... —  read more 

Anybody know what the typical multiplier is for these levels as a % of your pay? Thank you.

Heard that Dell will sell Avamar&Networker employees to HCL. Dell still owns the Avamar&Networker product but Dell plans to force the employees to sign with HCL as outsourcing workers.

I was laid off at the end of last month. The one thing I regret is not being better prepared. I didn’t bother to grow my network, or keep my skills fresh because I thought I was safe. I was complacent in every essence of the word. What small... —  read more 

Which were for you the Golden Years of EMC? I say 2003-2008. there was a lot of money, I did not need anything, my job was stable, my salary was sufficient to feed the whole family. Joe Tucci was the King of The Hill for me.. and now, look what has... —  read more

patent cash reduced to 2000 $/person with 6000 $ cap /patent. No LTIs now.. It's a good move given that most patents (99.99%) are waste of money and only making lawyers and uspto rich!!

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

That will really help when laid off

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
