If you know somebody who is affected, can you please share their age? I'd like to know if older employees are once again being targeted or not.
Based on rumors it’s not only sales
Anyone who can shed a light, or know of other areas affected?
Top performer.. losing over $100,000 in LTI...
What a joke. Long term incentives (LTI) is like a jail cell for top performers. You can't leave but can be laid off on a whim anyway and lose it all. Sorry, just venting.
50 FRANKLIN ANY LAYOFFS?
did anyone got let go today?? if so where ?? I heard there's a big number, I think no one is safe at the point.
Michael Dell is greedy = WFR/RIF
They laid me off today, 15 years in from EMC. Dell is now keeping all of my $200k in options, and giving a very tiny severance package. 1 days notice. Not enough to get a new job. What a waste of a decade… Michael Dell and Jeff Clarke you are both... — read more

WFR today, 20 years in company, non sales in services, consultant level

I was laid off today from Dell and I was Remote
Is today strictly the sales layoff day?
I'm not seeing many reports of other areas being hit so far.

This is not a “tiny layoff”
Despite whatever person from corporate put in here earlier about this being a 1% layoff, it is in fact larger than that and is hitting services, sales, marketing & engineers. Half of my team is gone in marketing and still no coms. Your performance... — read more
The rumor mill...
Something is going down today at Dell.
Layoffs? Yet new hires are pouring in?
Walking through bldg 2 and there are at least 100 new folks getting systems and badges...got folks getting let go and at the same time Dell is hiring...WTF?
Please be kind
I know a lot of Dell and ex-Dell people are mad at Dell and some of you appear to be mad at life. It is a brutal thing to work hard and lose your job, particularly in a bad job market. If you are on this site, you have probably lost your job at some... — read more
It’s happening
I’ve seen a few Dell OKC folk sharing they have been WFR’d this morning.
Someone on Panama team got the axe
One person I work with out of Panama's last day at Dell is today. Looks like managers are busy this morning
org update coms ?
Any organizational updates sent so far ?
Meeting Invite Subject text
In all the comments about upcoming Monday meetings, I'm seeing that the subject line is one of two things: "1x1" or "Business Update". (for the record, mine is "1x1") I wonder if the specific text of the subject line is an indicator of the exact... — read more
What Dell should do IMO only
I feel bad for everyone that will be let go this week. I just wish they would let managers manage and they could probably handle the span increase or increase it more. And let the people who can do the work, do the work. To me, it’s that simple... — read more
Another tiny layoff
Very few people affected,mostly sales Probably around 1% affected
Canadian corner
Can anyone comment on anything happening.
I dare them to lay me off
I've been doing the work of three people since the last round of layoffs. There is no way my team could pick up my work if I was shown the door, and they'd need at least two people to replace me. The key words being "at least." I'm almost hoping it... — read more
Just received "business update" invite for 8AM tomorrow
US sales - AE role
Sales Notice
Has anyone in sales received an email or a meeting? Getting close and I got nothing.
Tell me one thing -
Is it still true that after you become 50 years old Dell EMC want you to retire and every year will send you a retirement package which you either can accept or reject. Too many old-timers who are deemed undesirable?
Copy your data
Copy any data you want to keep off your laptop right now. When you get laid off they will tell you that they are monitoring your systems and copying data could endanger your severance. It may already be too late.
Teams
Can y'all log into Teams?
UNIONIZE
Unionize asap. RTO is a scam. Most of these jobs can be done anywhere. Pay scale su-ks for the actual work done. C suite is disconnected from what is going on at the bottom. Middle management is feeding the c suite bs meanwhile we at the bottom are... — read more
Weekend spent in anxiety
I feel more tired now than on the workdays. I just hope this horror show will be over soon. I’ve been worrying so much that at this point I'm flatlining. I wish us all luck. To those who want to be laid off, those who want/need to stay, and... — read more
Tommorow!
Is everyone prepared? Just got off the phone to my high friend, she said it’s looking like a bloodbath from the information she has been given Stay safe all! Look out for your loved ones!
ANZ WFR
What has everyone heard? Hearing this week will be the one with 100+ expected redundancies.
Situation in Dell Singapore?
Any idea on which teams are getting impacted?
I don't get some of you
Reading this forum, I came to a conclusion that everybody hates their job and can't wait to get out of here. Yet, now that layoffs are coming, everybody is panicking and stressing. Why? Is there a better way to leave the company you hate than being... — read more
