Does anyone know what the severance pay is like?

I decided to leave Lenovo back in July 2017 when they gave the package of up to 26 weeks and 12 months of medical. I was afraid that If I stayed, Lenovo would cut the severance to match IBM to 1 month. Even my manager was concerned about the... read more

Sept 2017 layoffs

Heard from someone laid off that there were 1,000 laid off worldwide. Apparently small numbers in most places do not to attract news media. Seems to have been a lot of senior I.e. Gray hairs to lower costs.

Slow burn

Lenovo continues to slowly circle the drain. It's been in trouble for years, with no end in sight. Executive team has no idea what's really happening and is trying to sell a vision that is fiction. Inept management from VP levels down. The writing is... read more

Continuation of layoffs today?

Does Lenovo have any US based operations?

is it all in china now?

You f******* get what's coming to you.

Maybe if you didn't embed your bloatware into the BIOS of computers, making it completely unremovable, people would still buy your products. Newsflash, when you sell a computer, you don't own it anymore and it's not right to do what you've done. I... read more
