#question

I saw an article pop up in business insider but it’s behind a paywall. Did you answer honestly?!

What are the alternatives to using a java ui?

I don't care about layoffs, stock, "no it's not!", 200 applications and I've finally got an interview, Bandy the clown, any of that.

I just need to know what else would be superior to Xerox using a java ui?

How many licensed practicing individuals are on this board? How many have been laid off? If so, where and what license and location? I feel like these feeds are filled with other occupations and do not represent all that may be affected.

Why can’t I review my manager?

Out of left field, core location, in-office fine, but didn't ...fill in the blank is it feels like. Others in corp risk too? Other groups having the same? Might be the new WF way.

Promotions seem to be archaic at Dell - unless you live in India... - Raises are mostly comical and add maybe $100 to your check lol. Travel is for some weird reason STILL restricted - aka conferences, etc... - the literal constant fear of layoffs 12 months out of the year, then the added stress of RTO micro-management of badge swipes.

I mean, I personally do like my job but at the same time I'm failing to see the point in doing anything more than what is required of me. I could be a hard worker and go "above and beyond" but why? My promotion will never happen, my raise will be a sad 3.7%, which I suppose would cover the tolls and gas I now have to spend to even GO to work...

I read (can’t confirm) in looking at some Sept. 2023 threads, that Day 1 was some Dirs/mgrs, Day 2 was ICs, and Day 3 was a mix of those in different orgs (namely MIX) so wondering if Thursday, MIX will have impacts…

You guys know none of the RIF posts are true, right? This is all purely made up and people are having a great time playing with your emotions.

now that were heading to end of january and februrary, can we make a thread sharing what we know or should expect if there's another round? the last one had a lot more noise so maybe that was the big one??

Bandy (BTC) has $cr€w€d everyone, everyone. Employees, customers, shareholders, and now shareholders again with watering down near worthless stock with an offering of more stock. Seriously, when is anyone who has a milliliter of business sense and decency going to publicly ask him to get out of Xerox? There's no next person who will magically turn this around but BTC has failed miserably for three years and counting. Remove the entire top structure of this loser assembly already.

how on earth are they going to wrap everything up in two days??

“Vistance Networks” = Wi-Fi that arrives “within… vistance.”

“Aurora Networks” = your internet goes out, but it’s beautiful while it happens.

I was laid off back in November but recently got placed onto an internal team. I’ve also been hearing that a lot of people ended up getting internal placements instead of fully exiting.

Just curious - did many of you get internal offers as well? And for those who did, do you feel like this actually gives us some stability, or are we still at risk if there’s another wave of layoffs?

For ones that actually had a customer service WFH job with cvs , is it true that they fire for little reasons? Do managers write you up for acw alot?

I'm done. Can anyone give tips on how to get laid off? I know I'm not the only one that is patiently waiting.

Did any Regional Director share how the structure gonna be moving forward?

We got no info today

How much do you expect your merit raise % to be this year? Since in that whole video they explained we are taking away your RPP so you have a "consistent" raise each year.

Will they really just keep it at the 1%?

Do we anticipate any care at home (formerly landmark) being affected this week?

I’ve been reading the last few posts, so I wanted to know. Is it really 25% of the entire company that’s getting axed this week? Is there more detail into how that’s being done, or is it completely random? What’s really going to happen?

How are people doing? Have you been able to find a job? How long did it take you to find a job after being laid-off and in what field did you find a job (sale, marketing, engineering, management, retail, etc.)?

Those in the know - are Micro AEs still on the chopping block or are we safe.. (for now)?

GL to everyone this week.

any info on what will be happening with us cellular employees?

Who’s actually walking out tomorrow and who’s just going to stand in the parking lot for ten minutes before realizing it’s cold and they have bills to pay?

Can’t wait to see the "movement" take place between the end of lunch and the afternoon meeting. Groundbreaking stuff

Like surely the company wouldn't allow us to hire someone, and then immediately tell us we need to lay people off... right?

Heard 20%-30% cut this week to newly merged North Area for Network Ops/Eng. Can someone confirm????

How is Financials are gonna be impacted. I heard business was a negative margin business and VZ deciding to double down on a losing business.

Sounds like a winning strategy to me. For competitors I mean

As the company continues to take MW after MW on the US employees, what's next? When will thr next MW drop on us?

Personally, I do.

Dell has made it clear they want in office 5 days/week and has stated that all future roles are onsite ONLY - including internal movement. Remotes are not eligible for promotions, and I 100% guarentee it will cut into their bonus and merit raises, as well. Remotes will get a 50% max bonus, and a xyz max merit raise (1.5-2.5%) to force people to quit. That may not happen this year but I'm betting my bonus it will happen soon.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens this year as like I said, Dell wants all employees to be local to an office and remote employment is no longer offered. What a great and sh---y way to force people to quit...

Essentially, they want everybody to be local to an office. Which is d-mb and pointless IMPO but, that's what they've made clear and in order to do that, they HAVE to begin cutting the remotes at some point.

My guess is unless you are below a sr. director, dell will help relocate you... otherwise it;'s on your own dime. aka 99% of the remotes are FUQD for relocating.

Well, unfortunately the only way to do this is by cutting the remotes. Exceptions will be made for a very small group of people but I doubt that even, as my director drives 90 minutes to the office daily, one way. overall, remotes IMPO are on the block going forward. Unless they relocate, which many won't.

Okay, I’ve about had it with these “tech consultants” in NAM. Has anyone actually met one that actually understands the tech they are supposed to support? They all seem to lack basic knowledge and understanding. Can we just hire our own people yet?

Got laid off as a software engineer in 2024. Found a good life after fidelity.

Just wondering where all the talk about scrum masters getting laid off came from. I heard the Spotify agile model is getting done away with (not just because of the last post).

But how much of that talk is actual truth? If true, then what’s the percentage of scrum masters at fidelity that we are expecting to get laid off?

Anyone know how much WellMed/Optum Florida will be impacted this week?

This week it is official, I will be unemployed for the first time in my life. I've sent out a few applications but I'm nervous. December crew- how did the timing work for vacation payouts and severance, have you gotten your money yet?

Just curious,

1.In which week exactly are promotions communicated and go live in the system?

2.Also at this point are the manager ratings are already locked or the reporting manager still has a chance to update the rating for 2025?

anyone think there will be big cuts in marketing in HQ? Anyone hear anything?

Will ECS be getting hit on Friday?

Out of 14 VPs left, we have 2 maybe 3 decent leaders left at the VP level in GT.

Others are highly toxic, backstabbing, have no vision, will sacrifice their team to make themselves look good, lack technical, product, or design competency.

Make no mistake that sooner or later all of the above will impact all of us even if you are in the space that is isolated from it right now or are able to talk you way out of it (at least for now).
