Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

she is 100% fake or she has her head in the sand

Besides a high number of Legacy EMC people being laid off it looks like anyone who was sick and used “too much” insurance was let go. A real disturbing pattern is emerging.

@kxh+1l4bFgUP any update on your meeting?

"It came out of nowhere. My manager is out of office but scheduled a meeting for several of us tomorrow."

the entire restructuring of dell GTM (go to market) strategy has been from Chuck, and it has been failure upon failure upon failure. The sales tools are complete sh-t, the product management has zero vision or future, this is another step toward destroying the parts of the EMC purchase they decided they could not sell, or simply don't care about because the cherry of VMware is likely to get a ~$50B for silverlake which is the only company Michael the di--head cares about.

Spent 21 years at Dell with two tours of duty. The first 14 years were awesome! After a string of bad decisions by Rollins (Bain), Michael had to take the reins back and go private back around 2014. Lots of people were given the opportunity to leave voluntarily or involuntarily. I took the package and had a great job lined up the next month. Dell's staffing levels were cut to the bone, and they recruited me back after 13 months with a bump in pay and a $10K signing bonus.

Spent 7 more years at Dell/EMC and survived multiple reorgs and RIFs, and realized the Dell Execs were spending more time protecting their organizational turfs than dealing with competitors eating our lunch. I left for a new position in May 2021 as I saw this coming. Continuous "guardrail to guardrail strategy" with the EMC acq is a great example, and that reorg was a bloody fiasco...(Bain Consulting strikes again!). Tucci and Michael were the only two laughing all the way their way to the bank. The only person that ran this company extremely well was Michael. Clarke is a good second banana but he's not a top banana. If you were lucky to survive this round, congrats. But if history is any indicator, Dell employees may want to think about an exit strategy. I've received about 20 LinkedIn notes from former coworkers, and it breaks my heart.

JMO, and good luck to everyone who was affected.

Mostly Legacy EMC employees in right to exploit states have been let go. More jobs going off shore.

I think trying to take out any reminences in ISG group of EMC. They already sold off biggest piece of pie VMware. Go back to bread and butter in pc & servers.

I could be totally off here but I have a theory. And again this is just a theory. So, Dell spent billions and billions of dollars on a majority stake of vmware. Well, roughly seven or eight months ago broadcom made an announcement with the intention of buying VMware meaning it would have bought up the billions of dollars worth that that Dell had sunk into VMware.

Good for Michael Dell right? Good for his partners in silverlake. Well ... The EU has gotten ahold of this deal and it sounds like so far they do not like it. And that does not bode well for acquisitions. So if the acquisition falls through that means that Dell is still on the hook with billions of dollars spent on VMware. So, what do you do with that? Time to start making some cuts. Anyway I feel sorry for all of you guys who got cut. And I feel like that it's executives who make such decisions who should bear at least some of that responsibility because it is they who got their companies in the debt and hence the fault rests on part on their shoulders

I'm in ISG and we have not seen anything as of yet

There is nothing off here. Dell has always been very obtuse with any details about layoffs.

This round of layoffs has been planned since early fall and probably sooner. Dell saw the writing on the with with the economy. HR/Insider Risk was asking about new cyber capabilities to be in place before end of Q4 for WFR.

MD is just the face and spokesperson for Dell with JC running the show for some time. Everyone knows this.

So Dell has record breaking quarters through Covid and afterwards but can't spare a fking dime for it's workers

It came out of nowhere. My manager is out of office but scheduled a meeting for several of us tomorrow. Our team is already stretched to the breaking point. According to Forbes, this round of layoffs is to appease Wall Street. SMH!

Christ. The last time we had a Bain head honcho, he damn near ki-led us.

(Rollins)

You do realize that Michael is stepping away from day to day activities and Jeff is going to take over the CEO roll and the FNG (new guy) Chuck from Bain is going to become the sole COO.

most if not all are working remote. so vibe feeling of dread is no longer detectable. in office layoffs the emotion and vibe permeates and weighs down the area.

or it wasa one big psyOps

What are you insinuating?
