I've heard horror stories about deductions and unpaid vacation for folks who quit. Anyone deal with that?

We know another round is coming. The only question is when.

How often do people like me get cut? I've already seen some newer faces disappear. Is it just bad luck, or are we in more danger?

Has anyone actually physically seen the reporting management is receiving based upon computer usage?

What exactly is on this report?

No more pollev in ESA and larger townhalls, seems like the MC doesn't want to hear anonymously anymore. No one is going to ask the real questions anymore or reach out to them specifically with their name attached to it, it feels like silencing.

The disorganization, the conflicting priorities, and the complete lack of direction make it seem like I'm watching a ship take on water and keep sailing anyway. Is this just how all corporations work? Because if so, we're in trouble.

Do they want us to quit to avoid the stress and anxiety? Is that what's behind all of these delays?

Anyone else’s laptop un usable by the shot security products used at intel??

Anything?

The moment you make more than your coworkers, you're on the radar. Seniority doesn't protect you, it does the opposite, it makes you more expensive and more vulnerable. I've seen it happen to people who dedicated years to this company. They were paid for their experience, and that's exactly what made them a target.

Still exists?

Get out of this place before you lose yourself

Can anyone remember the last time this place made a decision that actually helped employees?

I just very recently found out that you laid off our daughter for some kind of fake intelligence software?!

Do you know how much it cost us to send her to school for that train and how hard she worked to get her degree.

She has worked for your organization for over a decade and now you throw her away like a piece of trash?!

What in the world is going on over at this company?!

It's the first day of the month and in-office adherence reporting hasn't updated!!! Just like every month before this one!!! What will we DO?!

Just getting ahead of the curve.

I'd ask if they're done for the year, but I'm not that naive.

I don't see it.

I've lost count of how many people walked out or were pushed out in the past 12 months.

Post-2025 layoffs, it seems like at least once a week there’s a new post from people concerned about the direction of the company or about their own future and well-being within the company. I’m glad that this safe space exists so that we can vent.

Even though I am no longer with the company, and I’ve since moved on, this has become one of my favorite past times over a cup of coffee in the morning to read through the threads. ☕️ If anything, reading through the comments confirms and continually reaffirms to me that though it wasn’t my decision to leave, they did me a favor.

Just curious , some of the colleagues I know who got laid off months back are still in Aria under their managers. why is Aria not updated?

That would be a small mercy in this whole mess.

Sending support, my heart goes out to everyone impacted. I’m truly sick to my stomach.

"Skynet became self aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th". (Couple of days ago)

This was once science fiction.

A.I. is the birthing canal.

Dell has found iut they no longer "need" biological humans to survive.

We are all...expendable

I have no hopes for tomorrow. Dell has successfully gotten rid of the people who could fix things, and this leadership is only focused on their own pockets. There's no saving this.

It's "deeply personal" 🤔

A sprained ankle shouldn't require anything but propping your ankle.

Get to the cost increase.

Has anyone heard anything about another reorg? Who will this effect?

I came to this nation 20 years ago, and everywhere I go—whether it’s a shopping area, a park, School, an office, or a hospital—I have always witnessed the kindness, warm smiles, and compassion of the American people. However, I now worry about whether my children will receive that same love in the future because of the actions of some of our fellow Indians. In my own workplace, I have seen instances where Indian professionals undermine their American colleagues, making them feel inadequate or even pushed out of their jobs. Through overbearing behavior in meetings, manipulation, and even falsified experience, I fear these actions will negatively impact how this community is perceived.

It’s been 5 years of this BA

Anyone from Sweden impacted by layoffs?

Anyone who got impacted can you please share what are they saying in the meetings. On what basis this is being done or how long it will continue? Also which levels and orgs are impacts?

Our leader just hides while our company is attacked daily. This guy has no control over any situation or any type of plan. You just get 10 minutes of him reading off a script every three months on an earnings call. You can hear him flip the pages it’s so embarrassing.

I’ve been watching these new CE get their number and realise that they actually are responsible for ITOM Business networks and Cyber. I’ve been invited to their meetings for input…… The ITOM business and Cyber haven’t done big deals in years…..

Has anyone noticed this

Wf is in the rear view mirror for me now. I do recall a particularly odd event that happened to me and a few select others in my dept. Some received this random email along with a ton of others thru out the building. Wanting to know our opinions on things on stance about location strategy. Didn't really go over anything specific though it was vague but to be at certain room at a certain time.

I even asked my manager and she said she had absolutely no clue why, but go anyway. She had nothing to with it and she wasn't even on the list.
I was already incredibly nervous anyway because a month prior half the team was laid off out of the blue.

How many employees are put in the lowest two buckets (needs improvement and developing contributor) . What if you have been unfairly out into that bucket. Is there any point in challenging it ?

When what you hear from the CEO is completely different from what he is instructing his directs to do, it’s time to go.
