We somehow got used that Dell is quarterly oriented firm, and to see many of our colleagues lose their jobs, usually by the end of fiscal year, but waiting for reductions this year is almost unbearable. This merger uncertainty is taking too long.

We have been waiting this news for almost a year, and now when the layoffs in Dell are officially confirmed, no one seems to be sure when the axe is coming down, or which sites will be hit. And numbers I hear vary from 2000 - 3000. Has anyone got... — read more

First time posting here. Anyone knows anything about expected layoffs in Ireland or EMEA region? Thanks

Dell Software had a BIG reduction on Thursday in USA - EMEA and Apj to follow. Former Quest was really hard hit. John Swainson has driven this thing into a ditch but showed not contrition whatsoever.

About 2K announced, with attrition will be closer to 5K, plus they will continue to cut into 2017 - nothing is stable about dell now, VMWARE, EMC, Pivotal, you name it, it's all so unstable right now. Plus, let me tell you, that mountain of debt is... — read more 

This means he no longer has to bear the criticism of being a terrible CEO. Private or not, he's still awful. Swainson was just a highly paid lackey. But he did bring on ridiculous people from CA. The whole DSG operation was run into the ground -... — read more 

No posts on this but there are many lingering questions about possible layoffs at Dell Software that will come in 2017 and maybe in 2016. How many folks will be impacted? Nobody knows! What about locations that will be annihilated? Nobody knows!... — read more 

I really could not stomach working for such a large organization where all the ownership is vested in one person + his financial investor. Why do they have a problem with the staff having even some small share in the future financial success of the... — read more 

The Quest acquisition was a mistake from day 1. Swainson had no intention of trying to grow a software business at Dell any more than he was able to grow the software business at CA. It's a shame that his incompetence and the incompetence of his... — read more

Worked for Dell for 7 years on some VERY cool stuff. Yes, there are some issues but none I haven't seen also working at Cisco, GE, and JPMorgan Chase. The pay has been quite competitive and bonuses are regular. Like one of the comments above said... — read more 

It seems the Dell-EMC acquisition didn't work out well. The employees knew that the layoff is coming. Anyways,Various companies are hiring in the storage domain http://goo.gl/u5VRBY

I left Dell in 2015 after 5 long years there. The company was just too big for me – I felt I was making only a marginal impact no matter how hard I tried. Dell is highly matrixed in every aspect, especially when it comes to making decisions. It took... — read more 

It's lively over there - check out their board at &network-appliance

Any updates here (Quincy)? I left in 2011

I am a hardware engineer and have a job interview next week. I currently live in NY so I will have to relocate. I understand the company has been downsizing, is moral bad in the non software engineering groups ?? I am at the point in my career where... — read more 

Dell is not immune and things will get much worse on the PC side - I know they are shifting things more towards software and services but the PC side will continue to bleed. Austin continues to struggle and things will not improve in a long time - we... — read more 

Over 10k jobs gone in the last FY (http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/blog/techflash/2015/12/dell-cut-thousands-of-jobs-in-past-fiscal-year.html). It's become a culture of layoffs and downsizing. Michael has to figure out how to pay down the debt. You... — read more 

If you work for Dell Services, there will be no promotion or salary increases... OK, I guess that's a new management style... Dell would rather lose their experienced associates than promote them. It is also highly unlikely you will get a bonus... — read more 

I mean c'mon, I'm the M&A guy from EMC and HP. What else would I possibly be focused on?

Good riddance, what a waste of time and popularity contest

This explains a lot - aside from sales sucking, Dell needs to make the various software businesses more attractive to outside investors as it needs to raise $$ for the upcoming EMC deal. The big haircut in software won't be the last. Expect all kinds... — read more 

Left in 2011. Have customer and partner facing teams been affected? Thanks in advance.

For all people who say there are no layoffs and that layoffs are fake news - I dont know where severance is paid but in India everyone believes you dont have assignment for 30 days... you are gone...thats hard but thats reality... Long gone days of... — read more 

Your severance used to be based on you years of employment. to get around their own policies they are now not doing a "RIF". Instead, they are taking away your position and letting you sit on the bench for 30 days(or it might be 60 depending on... — read more
