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 IDG RIFs?
Any chance of resource planning/budgeting this month for contractors or FTEs?
Is Lenovo the most toxic place you've ever worked at?
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
COVID-19 layoffs?
Anyone hear any rumors about people being let go because of the impact of COVID-19?
Worst manager at Lenovo thread!
Who was the worst manager you had and why?
Grass is greener
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
Is the severance package different for those over 60?
Are there any additional items in the layoff package or is it the same as everybody else?
More layoffs in May
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

Question to the US employees left at Lenovo...
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.
More layoff happened in July
Heard more layoff happened in July - Can someone confirm the news?
Next adjustment / lay-off coming in the fall
Probably October
Surprise?
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
Should treat your employees better Lenovo
Just purchased 2 dozen high end Dell servers. Didn’t even consider Lenovo.
There will be more layoffs
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

Wow, someone nailed the layoff months ago
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
18 yrs and done
DCG, contractor, finally the stress/overwork will be done. Two week notice at least.
Got the axe
DCG. Have been with company 14 months. Last day 30 days from now. Severance 6 weeks pay, 3 months medical.
I hate the wait
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
Let the 2019 Lenovo Hunger Games Begin
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 report: it's started
Unconfirmed: Heard that managers that are being let go were notified today.
Does anyone know the process?
Does anyone know the process? Do first line managers know who will be laid off beforehand? A valid question by @ZcK9VGv-5xjc
Please post updates as the situation develops.
Good luck all, we'll need it. Godspeed!
Lenovo is done for and those jobs are not coming back
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

Layoffs at the end of May?
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?
No layoffs before fall?
Is it true that no layoffs are planned at Lenovo before fall?
Layoffs already scheduled for April-May 2019
After the close of the fiscal year there are already plans for resource action.
More info on Lenovo layoffs
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
