I hate being made aware that layoffs are coming but not knowing anything else about what's going to happen. So now I have to worry over the when, how many, and who for who knows how long. I truly wish they'd just drop layoffs on us instead of doing... —  read more 

It was nice that he announced it so it was clear. The only questions are when and how many? I expect a lot from the former DCG group. No sympathy for anyone there.

I've been visiting this forum for a while but what finally made me post was the confession of a person who was put on the blacklist so that he could never work at Lenovo again. I’m thinking, who would want to be re-employed after learning about the... —  read more 

Layoffs coming at end of February in the US. It never ends!

5 year high! What is going on? Can it continue?

Try finding a new job as soon as you can. Layoffs will come again in May 2021 and no one is safe no matter what position you are at. If you think your name will never be called, think again. Layoffs are a tradition at Lenovo.

Well, it sure looks like layoffs are coming based on a few well placed questions and lack of transparency in answers from my direct boss. I have a feeling it is time for all of us to get the resume polished and ready.

People I haven't heard from in well over a year are all of a sudden reaching out like desperate lemmings. I have received at least 7 connection requests in the last couple of days since the weekend on LI. People not willing to assist when laid off... —  read more 

Seems like things are going well for Lenovo, does that mean we are safe from layoffs for now?

I was a DCG lay off and wondering how are things now? Seems like a lot of the DCG leadership is leaving or on sabbatical and there are lots of chief operating officers and chiefs of staffs. Lots of chiefs. How are things?

Smooth move of China to attack India. India is actually an area where market share for lenovo is pretty good. Not anymore!
