Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

@bv the only people that should wait for a wfr are those outside the US in a country with labor laws far more favorable to employees. In the US Dell will just f-k with u they don't give a mothaforking dingle Berry about you. Those in the US need to leave if they don't like it unfortunately just take the time while you have it to find a job somewhere else. I did, sure I have to learn all new systems but I would have had to do that at Dell due to ODW anyway. If they cared you'd have an ESPP. You don't. They don't give a GDF so f-k em

@OP Dell doesn't give a shiiitt. Why should any employee??

We're all doing the absolute minimum, collecting a paycheck, and waiting for the next inevitable WFR.

This company is a tu-d going round and round in the toilet.

ISG here, long gave up caring about anything, its essentially just a pay check now. As you stated, we are just numbers. We had a guy out for a while due to a family member being realy sick. First day back after that time off and our managers first interaction with him, was "can you take that SR from the queue to save SLA".. Not how are you, not i hope everything is good, take your time to settle back in. Just zero emotion, empathy, or anything like that. It told us all we need to know about Dell.

@ak "Well over a decade", but yes, you are of course right, they don't have to do anything like that.

I do believe that it says a lot about a company when it comes to what they don't have to do and what they actually do, and especially how they treat both new hires and people leaving though.

Dell used to be fairly good at both, especially the latter. These days there's little to no training for new hires and an email at best when a colleague leaves. Employees are no longer people, they are just resources and numbers in spreadsheets.

To be honest I would probably had said thanks but no thanks if they asked if I wanted to have a cake, coffee and speeches, since it's not my style. I did however maybe expect more than being treated like the UPS guy (to be fair, he probably gets a better treatment).

Just another brick in the wall .... 🧱

@OP Only a decade,thats nothing. Are they giving you severance ? Consider that your gift,they dont have to give you anything

its dell nothing works and no one cares.

Like literally NOTHING is even 80% right here.

@a7 Don't want to provide too much info just for the sake of not being identified.

My advice to anyone would be to document everything, just in case, and if you don't know how things such as SCP and/or IBP payouts are calculated, spend a few minutes to understand it.

I don't even care that much that they got it wrong. Sh-t happens and understandable to some degree seeing as HR is not even in the same country.

What really grinds my gears is that you're referred to some sort of alumni form where your ticket gets instantly closed (HR-metrics, I suppose) and the first answer you get is from som junior HR-rep that says that everything is ok on their end. When you go back and have to re-open the whole thing it takes weeks because they have to "escalate" and "investigate" (i.e. check what the actual correct answer is) just to finally in the end come back and say that yes, you are correct and not even offer an apology for their fu-k-up.

if you want to help people then details on the following should be provided:

"had to fight HR on things that were agreed on and they tried to gaslight me into thinking that I am wrong (although documents and agreements clearly says otherwise) "
