Just to respond to the non-compete agreement..I was from legacy EMC, resigned last month and took the job at a competing company. I also told which company I was going to and I didnt had any objections from HR. Downside though, I gave 2 weeks notice, but they let me go the day I gave the notice stating that Im going to a competitor company, so 2 weeks noitce does not come into play.
I also got a one on one zoom invite from my manager for tomorrow. I guess it's coming. Oh well.
Same here, Zoom 1x1 pulled in from next week, third person is HR. Icing on the cake is manager did not do video while I did, lost all respect for him today.
Sorry to hear that! Wish you can find another job shortly.
what is really sad is a couple of years ago, Dell updated their employment contracts and coerced all legacy employees to sign new employment terms which contain non-compete provisions for 12 months. So you get laid off, you get some severance, but if you want to go work at a another PC, Server, Networking, Leasing, IT Services, Security services, virtualization software company....Dell will object. When you apply to new employer they will ask for your employment agreement and when they see the non-compete language they will ask you to have Dell agree to waive non-compete provisions and Dell refuses to do that (even if they lay you off). They prefer you remain unemployed for a full year vs work for a company they might compete with. Dell has so many businesses they compete with almost everyone in the IT industry. There should be legislation that voids non-compete language in employment agreements if you get laid off through no fault of your own.
Definitely alot of IT impacted today. Know of at least 3 in round rock. From what i heard all notifications are going out today. No rhyme or reason either in who they seem to be picking....genuinely shocked, seems like random people.
I had a calendar invite for a Zoom with my manager. He had just come off PTO, so I just figured it was a regular sync up. When I got on the call, there was another phone number (no name) joined. My manager led the meeting, letting me know that this was related to the announced layoffs from the Quarterly Review. He read a short statement about the basics and then introduced HR. HR then went over severance. The package is two months, plus a week for every year you have been with the company.
Sorry to hear that!
