It is important to note that today is 14th. Tomorrow will be 15th, 3 days from 12th and nothing happened yet. WW is coming

EMC employee

Was moved from Nashua exit 8 office to EqualLogic building in exit 1. What a culture shock, most freelancing environment. Haven't experience anything this bad. Bad air, bad employees and very bad morale and haven't seen any work being done. There is... — read more 

Not sure why ppl thought July 12th. I've been hearing October

It's a verifiable fact that Dell has amassed half a billion in cash to pay severance for massive layoffs to come, but I've never heard anything about July. Everyone I know says October is when the axe gets dropped on all their heads.

Rumors are Rumors

I agree there is a lot of misinformation going on in this site. I think there are a lot of people from both competition and disgruntled employees venting at the frustration of what is going on. I don't think there will be major layoffs like before... — read more

who got the incentive cash?

I was laid off 6 months ago, but Dell EMC did not want to give the 10,000 dollars to me. How to get it back?

No more reliable posts

When I first starting reading this blog 2 months ago, someone posted an entry with exact date of the layoffs and it turned out to be true. That's when I thought this site has some credebility. However, lately this place has turned to a graveyard of... — read more

Should I complain?

I have proof of retaliation. I got a new job offer and accepted. Should I complain to EEOC or move on?

July 12 is tomorrow

I remember the 5% off to avoid some layoffs. Was it on 2009?? I want to see mgmt blood instead of ICs. They have tremendous salaries, bonus.

Good luck tomorrow

My boss let slip that in 'two weeks we'll see" when I asked him about July layoffs that would be the 12th. He also got antsy when I told him I was traveling that week as they don't like laying you off if your on the road..... guess the handwriting is... — read more

What is with July 12?

Why so much talk about July 12? It's always a good idea to have resume and LinkedIn updated regardless. Somebody can be shown the door at anytime - never fun and can be a hassle but it is life. So always a good idea if u can to get your stuff in... — read more

Cyclone is a joke

Fundamentally Cyclone project is wrong. It's not new or next generation. It's a product with bit and prices from Dell and Emc storage and all project and program managers knew it will fail. It will never be released and/or customers will not buy... — read more

No layoffs

EqualLogic still making money, SC Compellent s---s and no layoffs in Hopkinton until end of October. Enjoy your summer.

Seattle

Project managers and network engineers have apparently already started getting chopped. HR people were chopped a little while back. The scuttlebutt is the entire Seattle office is going to be shuttered.

Isilon is at the gallows

Massive layoffs starting at Dell EMC Isilon in Seattle. Condolences to the s---ers who actually believed Michael Dell that he wasn't going to do that.

QA the fall guy!!!

How common is QA used as a punching bag? Can QA be held responsible for the project delays??? Is it a healthy practice to have a tame QA Manager (aka rubber_stamp) report into SW Engineering Development Director (aka nut_cracker)? Share….your story... — read more 

Might be the decision week

I realized today that my manager has bunch of meetings titled "Private Meeting" this week and most of them are in 171 South street. It's quite unusual because he rarely has meetings outside of 228. I think higher ups are asking for names to roll... — read more

Storage is dead

Storage is dead - 3 years ago a VMAX was 11 bays wide - now it only takes 1/2 a bay for same storage capacity - wait a few more years and it will be in a shoe box or on a memory board in the server
