I've been hearing this term more often, but I'm not what it means. What kind of layoffs is it referring to? Firings or something else?

@a3 to stay out of the news...massive redundo looks bad and Trump don't want bad news from his new contribution buddies
It's where they quietly round you up in the middle if the night, load you on a train, and ship you off to the gulag. Welcome to Dell.
Churn and burn people? LOL we would never do that
So far only people who were expendable have been let go
@a8 I’m failing to see how this helps Dell at all? Sales reps are already SLAMMED and more leave every day so customers are pi---d and pulling business. The AI tools are no where NEAR able to replace inside reps and probably won’t be for some time so how does it ultimately help??? They’re severely damaging customer relationships. Seems counterintuitive to GROWING business.

Who cares? This is the new normal. Treat it same way by don't giving a F. You should not have sleepless nights if deadlines or targets are missed. You should not work at 9pm if you have a 9 to 5 job.
Yes, just small and continuous trickle layoffs. Stay below the WARN threshold and off media radar.
Either through constantly ramping the job requirements to the point where people are filtered out one at a time, or stripping responsibilities to the point the employee is iced out and forced to leave.
Policy changes like forced RTO, being excluded from meetings, being given mindless checkbox bullsh-t to perform, or burying you in training, preventing actual valuable (to you) work.
@OP From what I understand, instead of a big lay off all at once...they layoff or find reasons to let people go a small batch at a time.
