It looks like I made it through today without any 1x1 or getting laid off. Does anyone know if that means I’m safe moving forward? Or is this something that will go on through the week? My manager has less than half a clue at this point and my anxiety is ki-ling me. I wish they handled this better. Like let us know one way or the other, this dragging it out is legit torture while morale is at an all time low.

I was let go and I wasn't even management. 12 years I guess was my downfall. 12,500 let go to hire more AI people. Whatever??
My entire team was affected by it , Only full time contractors affected. It was on Aug 2 and we were located at Ottawa.
Dell has known for over five years that they’ve had a redundancy problem with sales personnel. When I was there something like 20 reps were paid on a single deal. Many of which had nothing to do with that deal, so all of us knew something like this happened sooner or later. It’s just a shame they did it all at once, so now the open job market is flooded with people with similar resumes, making it more difficult for folks to stay in tech.
5 of the 7 MB managers in OKC was let go.horrible day
Look out if you are a AE4 or higher. The plan is to keep hiring children and get the experienced (read: higher paid) people out.
Gotta’ love the NGSA’s that were assistant managers at Bed Bath and Beyond a year ago and now selling enterprise solutions. Good luck kiddos.
Anyone up late tonight?
Part of me could care less about a layoff with the severance, part of me wants a job.
It’s not over yet. You’ll know it’s over (for now) when new org charts start to circulate and/or there’s a town hall.
Gama is reopened for sales reps, if you have a manager listed you probably have a job, I got shelved on a team with a manager that was let go today, not sure what that means yet but I don’t think it’s over. There are only so many HR reps to go around, I bet it will take time to clean house.
The poster below says all OKC sales was let go. That is not true. Stop posting fake stuff on here.
Invites to continue to go out all of this week and for anyone on vacation next week.
All of sales in OKC was cut.
This is shocking news but not surprised. Dell still is very bloated with some shocking managers(leaders cough cough) in Australia at least.
Glad I left when I did years ago , a toxic wasteland
I doubt we can let go 12,500 people in one day. I’d expect a slow drip, sadly.
Was it 12500 laid off today?
I’m in MB and fully remote. Just got an invite for a team meeting with a new team tomorrow morning, so it appears I’ve survived this cut
I saw the number is 12,500 to be laid off.
My daughter works for Dell in sales/marketing. She was called this morning by her manger. He and she were moved to different positions, the rest of her team was let go.
This supposed to roll across all teams across the globe for Aug and Sept. If your here at Halloween then might be safe until Jan / Feb next year.
@nxn+1tRHybgc You get pizza? We get nothing
The crazy thing is tomorrow management will spin it and say how great Dell is to staff that remain and buy Pizza for everyone.
What a horrible place to be.
I heard there’s more tomorrow in sales. Possibly ending Wednesday.
no they will get you on the other 1/2 next week.They have to catch up
Every Manager in Dell are same, they do not have any idea about anything, they even don't know the policy and procedure for anything.
