"Dell's rumored layoffs land on a workforce that never stopped shrinking"

The article talks about a rumored 6000 to 15000 people to be laid off. It's based on rumor and the rumor is that it will be concentrated in ISG Presales and Overlay Sales roles. According to the author, it may be confirmed in direction but not in scale.

My manager is MIA, so we never got an all-clear from him.

I got the emails yesterday to confirm all of my personal information, emergency contacts and mailing address. I know they do this here and there, but it also seems like they have done this right before a big cut.

I have no basis for this - just my gut. I guess we'll see what happens. Either way, at least it'll be done and I can stop worrying - 15 years of this garbage and I've had enough.

I’ve seen the article and all the rumours, but there’s one thing I can’t reconcile. We have some actual history to compare this against:
• Last summer, Oracle filed WARN notices in Washington ahead of layoffs — including filings covering 161 employees in August and another 101 reported in September 2025.
• For the March 31/April 2026 cuts, Oracle again triggered WARN in at least some locations. Washington reported a WARN filing covering 491 employees. (Bizjournals)

Federal WARN generally requires 60 days’ advance notice

Business Insider is reporting another round of Oracle cuts planned for August, with some teams potentially facing double-digit percentage reductions.

I’m not seeing the WARN filings so thoroughly confused. I know that doesn’t mean layoffs aren’t happening.

How are the cuts structured so that we aren’t seeing WARN notices? Are they spread across enough U.S. locations that individual sites stay below WARN thresholds? Are a significant percentage outside the U.S.? Is timing being staggered? Or is the reported scale simply being overstated?

And I don’t think “it’s remote employees” automatically answers it.

That’s the piece I’m trying to understand. The lack of WARN activity seems off given what happened in spring & last year

It’s been real quite. I want to say that we are safe… no more layoffs ??

Anyone hear if layoffs are happening in the October timeframe?

NEW (Aug 11) -- Oracle has drawn up plans for a new round of layoffs this month, sources say

With cost being a big focus , do you think we may see redundancies soon?

We’ve heard rumors of domestic onsite engineering headcount reductions in favor of offshoring work to the KLTC and BTC. Finally heard a real number; a 40% to 50% reduction in onsite engineering at the manufacturing sites by ~2030. Already importing folks from KL and BTC to fill key business team rolls onsite. Soon XOM will be run from Malaysia and India. Prepare your resumes.

Anyone on the New Hampshire plans getting the boot?

Last year, the 10-K seemed to foreshadow a significant round of layoffs, given Oracle’s roughly $2B restructuring budget.

The FY27 10-K, by comparison, indicates about $300M in restructuring costs, and at least some of that appears to be tied to completing restructuring actions initiated in the previous fiscal year.

Am I missing something, or is this year’s restructuring budget much more in line with Oracle’s typical fiscal-year spending rather than suggesting another unusually large RIF?

Anyone In sunshine being laidoff or heard anything ?

Received email to update contact info and emergency contact info. Maybe a sign of upcoming layoff if it was only sent to certain employees

Hearing about big layoffs coming soon- any word from anyone?

So what are we all hearing with regard to the next round.....can we expect the typical fiscal year purge or will they wait until December to give some lovely holiday cheer.....? What're you hearing? Who's out?

Are we thinking layoffs the day before our bonus day off?

Merging Sales Ops, Dev PMO, Renewals Ops, PS Ops (x2), Revenue Ops, and PMO into one org is textbook eliminate redundant layers. We should all be watching for follow-on layoffs in 60-90 days, consistent with the pattern we’ve been seeing since Mark B left.

Please! We are all worried and stressed share what you know! What states? What departments? Any severance? What date are you leaving? You are already here typing so help us all out!

Thank you!!

Just heard rumors about potential layoffs in August/September in Fusion apps . It seems like the selection process might involve a review of unvested stocks not performance – anyone have any insights on what that looks like?

That seems to be the only way out of this mess that's even a bit positive at this point.

Logged in this morning no meeting scheduled…..should i take that as a good sign im not getting cut?? I wasn’t eligible for the vsp

Look like a lot of people in Fideliscare (those who didn’t take VSP) some did not read the part of potential layoff in August and some are nervous.
Another thing some think everything is business as usual yet at the same time management is in meetings. A lot of marketing reps took VSP some leaving SEPT/DEC/MAR

Anyone hear anything about Dell Canada layoffs?
Heard rumours for Friday, we’ve had like no layoffs so far, at least in sales.

So I can see my schedule but on September 28th it shows no data available and I thought we could see our schedules up to 2 months in advance but I could be wrong. I'm wondering if this means getting laid off in September???

Does anyone know which departments have already been impacted or might be impacted? I've been hearing a lot of rumors, and it doesn't sound good. Has anyone heard anything?

Walmart intends to reduce San Bruno staffing mid to late August 2026. August has traditionally been a favorite month for Walmart to lay off associates.

No big deal, though. San Bruno is the leftover bastion from the failed merger, and this appears to be just more cleanup and wind down. There is some speculation, however, that other locations might be hit, as well. We’ll see as more info leaks.

Any CSAs hear anything? I havent seen or heard about any customer service advocates getting hit? Not member services but people who have customer service advocate behind their name on teams? Nearly my whole team has been here over 2 years so idk if they accepted the vsp or declined it. Not sure if any of us will have a job soon

Heard that there was another "Next Step" program recently announced, to start on September 1, 2026 and wrap-up on December 31, 2026. Not sure what organizations are included, but this end date undoubtedly suggests that an RA is being planned for 1Q27. Seems it's also been expanded to include Band 8s (maybe even Band 7s?), whereas the previous one cut-off at Band 9.
Anyone have any more details?

Anyone heard anything about ambetter CM involuntary layoffs?

I’m grasping at straws here so take it easy on me in the responses please. I’ve noticed from reading posts on here that a few departments are having townhalls in August which is when RIF is allegedly supposed to occur. My department doesn’t have any townhalls scheduled until September after the initial VSP separation date and it’s 1 of those choose between 2 different dates type of meetings. I feel as though if we were laid off it would be 1 day only, the option to choose is making me feel as though we won’t be affected by RIF’s. This whole fiasco has been a disaster! I don’t want to dox myself but I work in PHCO.

More AI mushrooms or incomming LR???

With every region in NAL losing money and LTF being down layoffs are coming this month. The writing is on the wall at this point, but which PSL’s or areas are going to be hit worse?

Im not sure if it’s because im not someone whos getting laid off, or it just hasn’t caught up to me yet…..but im wondering where everyone’s getting this august 12th-14th date as the timeframe we’re all supposedly supposed to know if involuntarily layoffs will happen ?I check my emails nearly every hour since this whole thing started and all ive gotten is im not eligible for vsp. Thats it, i see so many posts even on facebook of people talking about what and when their separation dates are. But i get no information, my sup tells my team nothing. I work in claims talking to the providers and do authorizations, so is it just certain departments with this information or are some PL/supervisors more willing to talk?

I’ve been hearing rumors about potential layoffs in EAcX and MACx sometime in August. Has anyone heard any credible updates or know if there’s any truth to it? Also, are people hearing about a specific percentage of employees that could be impacted, or is it all speculation at this point?

People are being cherry-picked from existing teams to form new teams. The decisions are made from the top levels and managers typically don't know what's going to happen. Get ready for another round since IBM bolsters their earnings on cost reduction.
