Lenovo has been hiring lower paid contractors a lot for the last 9+ years now. Take for example the inside sales team on the PC side. They seem to rotate in 20 or more new contractors (most have less than 5 years of sales experience) every quarter... —  read more

I am almost 50 years old and I am pretty sure that I will be the target for the next layoffs. How do I feel? Not good. Not good at all. My friends try to comfort me that it doesn't have to mean that I will be the target, but I can feel it. I find it... —  read more 

It is that time of year again. The layoff cycle will be upon us in the next 3 weeks. Most likely May 25th or May 27th.

The year over year compares will stink this year Plus an odd numbered year ( no major elections ) will mean extra layoffs this year Update the resume. DCG in the US will be gone By end of summer

What are your experiences with looking for a new job and Lenovo on resumes? I've heard from a lot of people that it's not very commendable, or a big plus to have Lenovo on one's resume. I'm just starting to look for a new job and for now and I don't... —  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?

So, unfortunately, I have heard that more layoffs are to hit in April. When you get rid of the team that designs your SAP solutions you are no longer going to sell high-end 4 and 8 socket servers. Best of luck everyone and start planning your... —  read more

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?
