I have heard from a senior manager that an announcement is coming next week, that ties in with early Feb predictions etc So most likely an email with announcement on Monday, invites sent Tuesday and people told Wednesday

Dell is also reportedly in talks of announcing staff reductions as early as this week, but we are not yet hearing a consistent number. One source tells us that managers in various departments have been told to put together names of who should get a... —  read more 

This is one of the biggest problems - in case of big layoffs, many of us would have a very hard time getting new jobs. I know that I tried my best to keep my skills relevant here, but it's not so easy when you work at Dell, right?

Im wagering that there will be no mass layoffs, maybe just a small culling of very non performing workers. Those people afraid of town halls and all hands should not be scared

Honestly, I'd rather be laid off, at least that doesn't come with any stigma in this day and age and I get a severance as a nice safety net. When they start handing out PIPs indiscriminately it doesn't matter what you do and how hard you work, you're... —  read more 

Does anybody know more about this? This is not just Europe, from what I understand.

Confirmed someone I knew from client product group team was let go on Friday. No details on their severance. I work in ISG networking support and am quite nervous for my future. Anyone have any guesses as to how severely specialist ISG teams will be... —  read more 

Did folks get invitation about Uk townhall?...what's that about

I heard there going to be hit hard next week, is that true?? if so what departments are going to get hit?

So this is the last week of Jan, first week of Feb Will we see 10% cuts as produced by some

We need a union to stop this cr-p and help protect us from bad leaders and sh---y pay raises. Can't belive we are working for a billion dollar company and we don't even get treated like a human instead of a number on a spread sheet.

Many say 2/6. Sorry. Nothing happens. I went out as far at 3/1. Sorry. Nothing even post earnings. ~mmcfly

We lost a lot of people last half and reduced the number of managers. Many inside reps are doing the work of 2 by also functioning as the outside executive. We were always lean so we were surprised when we lost a lot of people.

Intel's quarterly results were shockingly bad. Pc market in terrible shape butore importantly data centre has weakened a lot. Is this bad news for dells results ?

Hearing from multiple long term reps that 2/6 is the day. 11% reduction - roughly 17-18k. Mostly from "middle management."

Or we back to any day/week now?

People constantly complain about things that will never change in this company. They spend their time thinking about whether they will end up on the layoff list or not, instead of taking control and focusing all their energy on looking for a better... —  read more 

Saw that there was a layoff yesterday in Latam for a long tenured employee under Diversity and Inclusion

While we are facing layoffs, Dell is busy hiring in Bangalore (and I'm assuming other overseas locations, this was only the first one I ran into when I searched for it). This is our future, folks. Constant layoffs here and constant hiring abroad. We... —  read more 

All in all, it is no longer possible to work here and not be constantly worried about whether you will be laid off or not. Of course, this makes the already toxic atmosphere in the company even more toxic. I am quite prepared in case they tell me... —  read more 

Has anyone actually heard or have any solid evidence of anyone getting laid off? Some experts in this group but not one person has atcually stated what departments or dates,regions or numbers as yet. Seems to be a lot of childish cpmmenta on both... —  read more 

Those who intend to leave Dell as soon as possible like me, how picky are you when looking for a new job?

Are we having layoffs this week ?

I didn't use to have any issues with the thought of being laid off because I always knew finding a new job would be relatively easy. Plus, a decent severance is always a plus. I don't feel that way anymore. Try applying for jobs now and see how many... —  read more 

Mostly cost centers and support teams. Severance will be given, 2 months + 1 week per year.

Please stfu. You are in every thread complaining about "ex laid off employees” (which makes no sense) We know it's only you commenting in every thread because you don't know how to spell. Find another hobby bro because Dell is not paying you enough... —  read more 

Dell needs to trim down to survive. It missed the AI revolution happening around us. Microsoft is one of several, including rival Google, betting that this generation of artificial intelligence will transform, not just productivity software but... —  read more 

Look, if you're on this board you're obviously worries or at least interesting in potential layoffs. Share what these golden parachutes, or lead turds, have been. What have you seen colleagues get in the last churns, and what do you think people... —  read more 

I'm glad that people are better off then they were here, but at the same time it's kind of sad not knowing a single person who regrets leaving Dell. At least I don't know anyone, do you? It seems that nobody who leaves here would ever come back. —  read more 

Isn't it obvious how the company is trying in every way to get as many people as possible to leave voluntarily? People can no longer tolerate pressure, being underpaid and general lack of respect.

Google announced 6% layoff today, will Dell avoid all this ?

I'm still hesitating whether to accept a slightly worse offer or stay here. I'm feeling tired and under a lot of pressure here, but on the other hand, starting somewhere else from scratch after so many years here can also be very stressful.

let me lay out facts: a. layoffs can be any date. Does not need to fall under any company and/or Myan calendar. b. preferably not on Mondays or Fridays and before noon is the golden rule. c. big layoffs usually are preceded with an announcement... —  read more 

Is the 25th the day ? lol.

what's are next stop?
