5% layoff in June
i have firm news that 5% cuts are going to happen around the June timeframe. Dell is going to credit AI for making it happen. Both ISG and CSG will be impacted—the bottom 5%! Journey to make Dell lean continues! Good luck everyone!
Elephant in the Room....
Has the elephant in the room ever been addressed as to the cause of the constant churn, nonstop anxiety, nonstop dread, nonstop feeling that your work is meaningless, nonstop layoffs, RTO, being MD stepping back and giving more control of day to day... — read more
Pleading not to layoff
I've had sleepless nights for the past few months thinking about the lay-offs... to the extent that I'm taking medications now. I've got a mortgage and a new born and I can't afford to be laid off. Every week I'm asking for 1:1 with my manager and... — read more
Behind Bars
I’d say well over half of Dell employees have already given up settling for soul-su-king routines, mistaking survival for success. They’re not building careers, they’re serving time.
I used to love this job
Now I’m just sitting here waiting to get cut. At this point, even a chaotic startup seems better than this limbo.
Time for a new CFO?
Three consecutive misses is unacceptable. It is about setting the right financial plan and setting proper expectations with the Street. The street is losing confidence in our ability to deliver on the expectations that have been set by our CFO. Time... — read more

Niche and useless
Joined EMC as a Symmetrix support engineer after my studies. I studied software engineering, but thought EMC was a great foot in the door. It's been 10+ years and here I am typing in symm codes in the terminal day in day out. Tried interviewing for... — read more
Anyone resign in UK or Irleland recently? How much notice to give?
Has anyone resigned in Ireland/UK recently? If so, how much notice did you give? Wondering if should I wait until the final week and only give few days notice to ensure I get paid right up until joining new company. If I give a few weeks notice is... — read more
Leaving Dell
Has anyone that has recently quit in the US or knows someone in the US, that recently quit, put in a two week notice and then been immediately let go without paying out the remaining two weeks? I heard of that happening to someone and want to know... — read more

And how do we miss by 8% during the AI hot years?
1:20 my a_$$
There are still 50% of management has less than 20 direct report, 1:20 is just for reference/excuse, not an absolute guidelines. We have many senior directors and VPs doing PM and senior manager works, and so many VP reports to VP and senior... — read more
Dell misses earnings by 8%
but over promising on the guidance for next quarter. Let's see how long the pump and dump lasts ...
Plenty of interviews
I love how we have plenty of tough technical screens while selecting a candidates but when it comes to the quality of work, it’s not the same.
Interns aplenty
Noticed the plethora of interns inhabiting Dell RR campus this week. Not a good time to be a white male.
Are the many rounds of layoffs coming back to haunt sales? How many are now working for a competitor?
Earnings will be reported May 29, 2025 at 3:30 PM CDT
US payouts on unused vacation?
If you are a person in the United States, who has recently been laid off from Dell, or if you were a knowledgeable person with HR, I would like to know if you had unused vacation time at the time of your notification, and if it was paid out with your... — read more
What's the deal with Dell missing earnings?
I mean, how do you miss earnings? It's not a bus! You don't just show up late and go, "Oh no, the profits left without us!" And now they’re laying people off... "Sorry Bob, we didn’t make enough money, so we're gonna need you to stop making money... — read more
For the love of God bring back Sudhir

UK WFR packages
Can anybody share what the standard package? Weeks per year?
The list - EMEA
If you are a manager or were a manager, or director and now you aren't. You are on the list for August. IT will be hit. Services will be hit. Online E-Business will be hit.
Graduates, what's the deal?
Everywhere I look there are grads in Creechurch. I feel sorry for whoever ends up looking after them because the manager took the cheap option and expects others to make it work.
Next big layoff
If history is any indication, a big layoff will come right at the start of the 2nd half. The lists and targets will be cooked up in the coming weeks, and notifications will start in the first part of August. This here is the answer. Make sure you're... — read more
AI activity
With all the AI activity going on in Franklin, it prob be worth looking into unionizing. Lots of money being generated, lots of contractors being hired, lots of employees bouncing all over the floor to make happen. I imagine that a union organizer... — read more

Why toxic CEOs hate remote work
It all boils down to one simple thing… CONTROL
Promotions
I've seen a few people promoted into new roles recently. Can someone make it make sense? We've let go of some really good people only to promote some others into their roles who definitely aren't what I would consider competent enough in these areas... — read more
It will take ages to settle down after the layoffs
I don’t trust that leadership will manage the reorganization quickly or efficiently in the wake of these cuts, especially since they seem to have no clear idea of what they actually want to achieve beyond reducing costs. If there’s a vision, a... — read more
Coasters stay, contributors go - make it make sense
Still trying to understand how layoffs at Dell were decided... My team just got merged with another, and now we suddenly have more people not because we needed help, but because others needed a place to land. Some of them have big titles, but no... — read more
Upcoming week
Looks like spans and layers will be causing some changes this week Prob 1% of teams affected with most exempt
No point without Sudhir
What is the point? Our strategic visionary is gone. It’s over.

Will Dell Leave Ireland?
Do you have any information if Dell is closing the offices in Ireland?
Feet in the office
The unofficial start of summer means flip flops in the office! If you've got lean, slender, well manicured Uma Thurman like feet...show those puppies off! If you shortt, stumpy, nasty, busted ravioli Amy Schumer feet...moon boots work best.
