My guess is the latter

Lately, I have been seeing low - mid level managers exhibiting behaviors similar to back in the late 80's - early 90's, where companies treated you with an attitude that you were lucky to have a job. Consequently, management would make the staff do... — read more 

So far BDC management has operated within a well like a frog considering this whole world and nothing beyond this. They have done whatever they wanted. Moving to EMC will be a challenge for them because they might loose their freedom of monopoly and... — read more 

This week will be a stressful one coming up. I hope whomever they layoff will find a job soon. It time to get the files updated. At least they were transparent that a reorganization was/is going to happen. But always :(.

If Dell gave you a big promise to keep you stay, but laid off you before paying the money soon. Should Dell keep his promise while still paying your benefits? As below, I asked Dell to pay me the incentive cash right away after I was laid off, and HR... — read more

Layoffs in some east coast offices this week. Not huge numbers but some senior tech people. The quarter just ended so it is kind of late to help last quarter numbers. Does anybody know more about this? Which offices? I've tried to get some info from... — read more 

He is ranked as the 38th richest person in the world by Forbes, with a net worth of US$ 23.5 billion as of February 9, 2018. In 2011, his 243.35 million shares of Dell Inc. stock were worth $3.5 billion, giving him 12% ownership of the company.

Does anyone know what happened to the EMC Code organization ? I hear rumors that the entire pillar was let go, true ?

Interesting Post. Is this True. Dell will survive. But in what form and selling what products is the question. Dell is a company which took on the mammoth IBM in the PC business and made is mark. It is important to understand that US government... — read more

In the era of declining revenues and advent of automation technologies like never before.. does one need army of test engineers and worst QA managers ? Time for Dell to introspect?

We are lumbering in the weeds and mess.

Any risk of senior technical staff in low cost country to be laid off?

This applies to L4 and below and not the top rungs. HR has been surreptitiously informed to go after the 50+ and high paying folks. Clean job in the offing in the next huge layoff in April.

remember feb 12th. kind regards

My manager told me the 31st was my last day. I assumed I was getting laid off. The 31st came and went, so I asked my manager what was going on. He said well, I can’t kick you off the team. So I’m still here I guess. Is this common?

Hi, I am supposed to start sometime next month with the pro support team in OKC. However, all of these talks about massive layoffs have me spooked. I know nobody can be 100% sure, but should I reconsider my employment with Dell?

The management teams are preparing for the spinoff and sale before VMware purchase to pay down debt. I saw some people from Rackspace the other day and OVH has meetings with management since they purchase VMware Cloud.

I heard some rumors the consulting division of dell/emc would be spin-off in a separate company. Allowing for ipo and/or sell-off if the numbers aren't good. Anyone heard the same?

Any news for feb..layoffs redundancies..post here about areas and locations
