People seem to be completely forgetting about government contracts, infrastructure, etc. They're big, lumbering dinosaurs that are a continuous source of income -- not at all on the leading edge. Do they care about the latest innovations in storage... — read more

My bet is JB and CB gone by EOY, question is whether it's before/after Cyclone either fails completely or pauses to totally restarts with some realistic expectations that can be delivered before the end of the decade. Meanwhile, CML is eating their... — read more 

Now that David Goulden is gone I have heard that the EMC remains will get DELLized whatever that means. Could somebody enlighten me on the meaning of that verb (DELLized) ? I am thinking that since DELL is the survivor and EMC is the devoured then... — read more 

I just went through the list for zzz09 (September) and counted 1,136 names as of 09/16. This does not include everyone affected by the big layoff on the 13th, since apparently all of them will be zzz'd on 0922. That's a lot of people...

For all the rumors how many were cut this round? Maybe 100 of 2000?

FYI - HR manager returned my call today. Apologized for not returning call. Said all HR was offsite in strategy meeting. Not sure what that means.

Head of Dell/EMC, David Goulden - just quit. The dominoes keep falling.

We received an invite for an all hands meeting with the head of MRES on Monday. He is traveling to Bangalore for two days just to announce the new structure. Our incompetent abusive director is laid off unceremoniously. Although no official... — read more

Almost all remaining senior engineers and managers let go today. This is after the first round abotut 6 months ago where 50% of people got axed. Only a handful of people retained and they will move to Santa Clara location. Wow considering EMC bought... — read more

The CTO got the bullet two weeks ago and they've spent the day after the birthday celebration getting rid of anyone who was left over. Who needs R&D at Dell when Inside Sales will push any crap they can get their hands on? And crap will be provided... — read more 

Do you know what's going to happen with Performance Architects and other groups in Edmonton (VPLEX). Any reorg or layoffs plans here?

Eventually the only companies that will be buying storage arrays are those that own cloud data centers and then it will mostly be for archive and nearline storage of cold but still possibly relevant data that their customers would rather not have on... — read more 

Do you not agree?

Lack of innovation and inability to see the emerging trends and technologies that customers are interested in, that's what will be the ultimate downfall of the Dell empire. Dell's solution, buy another storage company that has nothing of real value... — read more

I can see what Dell NDC storage is doing. They are in truce with MDC, Hopkinton and with some connections in Round Rock at the same time throwing BDC under bus. Of course BDC is incompetent and NDC is equally worst for lot higher wages.NDC claims to... — read more

That's why we haven't heard numbers except 2-3k from M.D which we all know will be more. That was just a toss up number to answer questions about layoffs to the press. A public company (ie: on the stock market) does if there is going to be more than... — read more 

Dell HR is mostly rubbish. The whole goddamn org is operated by a group of less than 10. The rest are dumbest people ever met.

In the last year or so Dell EMC is laying off roughly 500-600 people in diverse geographical locations every month. This makes for about 7,000 people per year. If the pace of the layoffs continues unabated for 4-5 years this will result in 35K people... — read more

Wait for some reorg announcements in Storage in the next few days. Layoffs will be based on these reports.

This is something I have witnessed in my three year stint in Dell Bangalore. Majority of the employees don't have any regard to the company and the relationship is just utilitarian. You get paid and stay employed. There is no sense of company culture... — read more
