Really? Please be considerate
I am pretty certain this post will not have immunity from the vulgar and sarcastic comments which sadly are the bulk of most of the content on this site as of late. I am appealing to the folks who are making these comments to please STOP and be much... — read more
Is there a positive alternative to Dell?
I've been going through several of other tech company pages on this forum, and it's like looking in the mirror. Every one of them has the same issues we are taking about here daily. Layoffs, no raises, management issues, replacing higher paid workers... — read more

Lay offs
I remember this all too well, I came across this thread looking for old coworkers in OKC. I was part of the layoffs back in 08-09? During the economy collapse. Sending good thoughts to you all! I will say Dell took care of me and my family afterwards... — read more
8 DataDomain employees laid off in RTP
This morning, 8 DataDomain employees laid off in RTP. New dell-rules are that you get to continue working for 2 weeks. Severance is 10 weeks + 1week/year of service.
Dont' listen to rumors
Yet... IMHO - Dell will make the cuts before the end of their fiscal Q2 (end of July). They need to do this as they are currently bleeding money, which needs to stop. The call will be made, and the number of employees that are needed to be cut are... — read more
Tomorrow is the day
See ya
Impossible Sales Targets.
Unrealistic incentivising of employee performance can go terribly awry this was seen in Wells Fargo’s. If you set your Sales Goals out of reach for your team then even your top performers can't even reach them it, they become switched off and don't... — read more
Dell needs to clean house
They should clean house of that useless layer of good ole boy managers who have been around since the DG days and have never had one new, fresh or innovative idea. They just kiss *** up the chain and that works, they haven't ever had to worry about... — read more

Maybe...
Maybe if they stopped wasting money - that would help! Flying managers and non- managers all over the place to meet with coworkers - when in all honesty - video chat while not as personable is a whole lot cheaper and works!! Just saying.
In sales no layoff just a huge number
The targets for customers are so high in our unit that people have given up going after deals. Morale is terrible. Bringing in the biggest deal wont get you there and just means you will be punished next quarter Sales don't get layoffs they get a... — read more

It is important to note that today is 14th. Tomorrow will be 15th, 3 days from 12th and nothing happened yet. WW is coming
EMC employee
Was moved from Nashua exit 8 office to EqualLogic building in exit 1. What a culture shock, most freelancing environment. Haven't experience anything this bad. Bad air, bad employees and very bad morale and haven't seen any work being done. There is... — read more
Not sure why ppl thought July 12th. I've been hearing October
It's a verifiable fact that Dell has amassed half a billion in cash to pay severance for massive layoffs to come, but I've never heard anything about July. Everyone I know says October is when the axe gets dropped on all their heads.
Rumors are Rumors
I agree there is a lot of misinformation going on in this site. I think there are a lot of people from both competition and disgruntled employees venting at the frustration of what is going on. I don't think there will be major layoffs like before... — read more
Why can't you all enjoy free paycheck
Any one in storage Hopkinton, MDC, , NDC, Seattle, California, RR Texas. Honestly, have we done anything to deserve to be paid. All those ethical and hard working employees were either left or laid off. Pay attention, We all knew Michael Dell is not... — read more
who got the incentive cash?
I was laid off 6 months ago, but Dell EMC did not want to give the 10,000 dollars to me. How to get it back?
No more reliable posts
When I first starting reading this blog 2 months ago, someone posted an entry with exact date of the layoffs and it turned out to be true. That's when I thought this site has some credebility. However, lately this place has turned to a graveyard of... — read more
July 13th is tomorrow!!!
Prepare for the cuts
Are we getting pay cuts in addition or instead of layoffs?
They can change any part of your compensation whenever it suits them as long as they do it by the book which usually means notification in advance of the start of the commission period in the case of "at risk" compensation. Back in January there was... — read more
Should I complain?
I have proof of retaliation. I got a new job offer and accepted. Should I complain to EEOC or move on?
July 12 is tomorrow
I remember the 5% off to avoid some layoffs. Was it on 2009?? I want to see mgmt blood instead of ICs. They have tremendous salaries, bonus.
Good luck tomorrow
My boss let slip that in 'two weeks we'll see" when I asked him about July layoffs that would be the 12th. He also got antsy when I told him I was traveling that week as they don't like laying you off if your on the road..... guess the handwriting is... — read more

What is with July 12?
Why so much talk about July 12? It's always a good idea to have resume and LinkedIn updated regardless. Somebody can be shown the door at anytime - never fun and can be a hassle but it is life. So always a good idea if u can to get your stuff in... — read more
