There are likely to be a lot (and I meant, A LOT) of RAs before December.

Stay safe, guys.

How do you work at a place where a humiliating exit, at a time not of your choosing, is universally guaranteed? Surely folks aren’t that hard up for money that they need to sell their body at a place like this?

Have there been recent layoffs? Seems like people are getting let go little by little rather than massive layoffs unless someone has heard otherwise? Seems like most new positions are being opened up in low labor costs countries.
Is this how the company is going to be? A western management team with all outsourced employees?

If, globally, most sales reps fail to hit their quota, will Dell still increase targets again in H1 FY28?

If the majority of us are missing targets because expectations are unrealistic, what justification is there for increasing them further?

Could this “manufactured failure” ultimately be used as justification to reduce the workforce?

And with severance potentially being lower than in previous years when calculated against the new payout structure, it feels like we’re all being played here.

If you were laid off in the US and over 40, you should receive a list of ages and titles of those affected. Can someone share the number of people laid off in their "decisional unit", as well as the number of people remaining?

Over 100 hourly people laid off today. Smaller number of salary laid off today.
