In 2-3 weeks, it will be axe day. Numbers are probably going to be large in the US because Lenovo will get no aid regardless. The benefit they have now is they can dump employees, pay no severance, and pocket all that money they can. If you are... — read more 

Any chance of resource planning/budgeting this month for contractors or FTEs?

Layoffs aside, taking into account managerial personality, work/life balance (or lack thereof), lack of moral conduct, ethics, and general integrity. Not to mention blatant favoritism, good 'ole boys club mentality, and general lack of opportunities... — read more 

Anyone hear any rumors about people being let go because of the impact of COVID-19?

Who was the worst manager you had and why?

Thankfully, I was laid off last year. DCG is the worst place to work. Completely demeaning. Getting laid off was the best thing to happen to me. Got my finances in order. Got a much more stable job. Absolutely loved and appreciated. Has a retirement... — read more 

Are there any additional items in the layoff package or is it the same as everybody else?

More layoffs in May. Of course they might be April or June. Lenovo will cut / lay-off / adjust their way to success. Remember US employees are paid far too much. Darn those employees. Would be so much more successful with just some executives and... — read more 

Market Share Q3 2019: 5.4 percent Lenovo generated $1.18 billion in server revenue during the third quarter to garner 5.4 percent of global market share, down from 6.1 percent share year over year. The Hong Kong-based company, with U.S... — read more

Why are you staying? It was a sweatshop that payed me well below what I was worth, I happily gave my notice and found something better. Just curious what reasons you have.

Heard more layoff happened in July - Can someone confirm the news?

Probably October

This is not a big surprise to me. After seeing how Lenovo had treated their employees while working there, they are quick to lay off half of DCG and soon will be tackling the contractors next. A lot of this maybe from their tariffs they got hit that... — read more 

Just purchased 2 dozen high end Dell servers. Didn’t even consider Lenovo.

The press release says it all "Lenovo will continue to make adjustments as needed as part of our ongoing management of the business.” Loosely translated- MORE ARE COMING! As somebody posted in another thread, don't think for one moment this is over... — read more 

Here it is @VQu8mdK or thelayoff.com/t/VQu8mdK - in short, the OP posted it in October 2018 and titled the thread "Layoffs already scheduled for April-May 2019" - it has 6K views and 66 replies as of 5/29

For new folks here, there is a large "ACTIVE" button right above the first thread - you can use it to see what posts had recent replies. That's all from me. Anyhow, I hope this helps someone. Good luck all....

Whoever posted nine months ago about this round was right on the money. Thanks. Please let us know when the next round is scheduled. Probably already is

DCG, contractor, finally the stress/overwork will be done. Two week notice at least.

DCG. Have been with company 14 months. Last day 30 days from now. Severance 6 weeks pay, 3 months medical.

Nothing here so far, but I think I'd prefer it if it was already done with - whatever my fate might be. Waiting and stressing is completely useless, and in many ways worse than knowing the truth, even if the news are not good. At least then those of... — read more 

Please keep us update and sorry for those that lost their job. I got hit last year but I ended up getting a better job.

Unconfirmed: Heard that managers that are being let go were notified today.

Does anyone know the process? Do first line managers know who will be laid off beforehand? A valid question by @ZcK9VGv-5xjc

Good luck all, we'll need it. Godspeed!

I heard that the people that were let go last year only got 6 month of paid cobra benefits. Half of what they provided to employees, if people decided to take the voluntary package. To the people that still employed by Lenovo. Look for another job... — read more 

The rumor now is that layoff announcements are coming at the end of the month (May2019).

The rumor now is that layoff announcements are coming at the end of the month (May2019). This is a post from @YRRQXNu-8nrc . Any truth to this? Anybody know anything?

Is it true that no layoffs are planned at Lenovo before fall?

After the close of the fiscal year there are already plans for resource action.

Layoffs happening this month are across the board, well in excess of 20%. Lenovo does have some technology advantages but the company is ham stringed by Finance. They are incapable of competing on price with any other competitors in the market. This... — read more
