The hardest part isn't one particular layoff anymore. It's never knowing when another one is coming or whether your team will be affected next. People spend so much time worrying about job security that it's difficult to focus on the actual work. That's not a healthy way to spend your working life.

And this is just the beginning of the end. AI will take over 70% of jobs in 5 to 8 years. Self driving trucks and cars will eliminate the "gig economy" that many usually fall back on when corporations cut careers and SMBs layoff employees.
@es 😂😂. You said productivity when referring to Dell?? Are you out of if your fking mind? Dell is anything BUT productive. And no, layoffs don't make powerful companies.
This is normal. Always has been. Constant change helps improve productivity. It’s not if, but when.
its made dell a powerful company
@OP workload has not come down as fast as the workforce!
@am But Dell leads the way in Corporate sc-m. There is no debate on that.
what layoffs?
Many (I won't say most, cause I don't know) companies use their HR department as a buffer between the worker bees & callous upper management.
At Dell, HR is the HENCHMEN for the execs. Protecting the brand & the suits at all costs.
The ones being laid off are mere numbers on an A.I. spreadsheet.
And...in all fairness...Dell does try to let people down easy with their semi generous severance. Many companies give you 2 weeks and a "see ya".
But...I dont think the severance is out of the goodness of their hearts. Its often just a hedge against lawsuits. Hoping you need the severance now, vs taking on a giant company for potential employment law violations. (Such as targeting a specific age group or gender in their glee to cut numbers).
IMO Dell is dirty...but...so are corporations
It's by design. They want you to quit on your own so they don't have to pay severance.
And here you are LMFAO
