Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

Do they care?

The executivs do not care about employees as individuals. Everything happening right now seems focused on reducing the American workforce at every level. All the talk about culture and corp. values feels like fu--ing boxchecking designed to keep employees engaged and productive....

In the end, none of it matters when layoffs come.

Your contributions, loyalty and years of service carry little weight.

You become the proverbial number on a spreadsheet and one of the biggest numbers they care about is your salary.

To make headlines and personal gains, MD had a choice:

  • drastically reduce headcount,
    or
  • restructure comp plans to sc--w employees.

He did both.

With all the interference from the US Government and the Federal Reserve, it hasn't been Capitalism in the US for quite a while.

BTW, this isn't a Democrat or Republican phenomenon. Both parties have perpetuated this for many decades. Interference started in earnest in the late 90s with Chairman Greenspan from the Federal Reserve. Then, went into overdrive after the Great Financial Crisis. Take a look the Federal Reserve's Balance sheet from 2008 until now. Also, the US Government has been running deficits for a long time which now translates into a 40 Trillion Dollar Debt.

This is capitalism though. Companies exist to maximize profits. We are crazy to expect them to have empathy…

Of course they don't care. It's a very small circle and you are not in it. They only care when they need your work. They will drop you the minute you submit the work.

No, the only number they care about is the stock price. The reduction of your salary goes straight to pumping up EPS, which pumps up the stock price.

They are reducing the workforce period. Everywhere, there is no safe location.
