I left Dell in 2015 after 5 long years there. The company was just too big for me – I felt I was making only a marginal impact no matter how hard I tried. Dell is highly matrixed in every aspect, especially when it comes to making decisions. It took... — read more

Over 10k jobs gone in the last FY (http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/blog/techflash/2015/12/dell-cut-thousands-of-jobs-in-past-fiscal-year.html). It's become a culture of layoffs and downsizing. Michael has to figure out how to pay down the debt. You... — read more 

If you work for Dell Services, there will be no promotion or salary increases... OK, I guess that's a new management style... Dell would rather lose their experienced associates than promote them. It is also highly unlikely you will get a bonus... — read more

This explains a lot - aside from sales sucking, Dell needs to make the various software businesses more attractive to outside investors as it needs to raise $$ for the upcoming EMC deal. The big haircut in software won't be the last. Expect all kinds... — read more 

Left in 2011. Have customer and partner facing teams been affected? Thanks in advance.

For all people who say there are no layoffs and that layoffs are fake news - I dont know where severance is paid but in India everyone believes you dont have assignment for 30 days... you are gone...thats hard but thats reality... Long gone days of... — read more 

Your severance used to be based on you years of employment. to get around their own policies they are now not doing a "RIF". Instead, they are taking away your position and letting you sit on the bench for 30 days(or it might be 60 depending on... — read more 

Been really amazing how Swainson has managed to NOT get fired. Sales get worse and worse, yet Swainson manages go avoid the axe. Sales productivity per sales rep is astonishingly low. I'd be curious to find out what percentage of Software just got... — read more 

Do you know what's going to happen with our Consumer Division. I've been here for about 4 years now. Rumors are flying left and right - everyone is talking that Dell management is is planning to spin off the consumer division, it would be like an... — read more 

Former Quest was really hard hit. John Swainson has driven this thing into a ditch but showed not contrition whatsoever.

Stayed up watching this DSG town hall thing at home. I understand what they are saying but I don't understand what they are saying, very funny. If someone can translate their business-speak into English, I will be very happy. Just what areas are... — read more 

Lay offs started yesterday and will continue through Monday. I heard today was upper and middle management but there is a possibility of the entire Dell Software Group being let go. If you work here tread lightly and hope you tread thru the storm

No, wouldn't expect any till this time next year at the earliest. They've told media there's nothing planned at this time, and have even made a jab at HP saying "HP is way better at layoffs than we are". The deal won't be formally complete until this... — read more 

Sorry if you didn't get a heads up. Lots of glorious decimation for the software group.

True?

Today, layoffs in Massachusetts for some Dell employees (Inside HPHC, a Dell contract).

Prosupport Nashville is shutting down April 29, 2015. Nothing published about it though. Just have to get the word from a Dell employee.

Do we have more info on this? Who in marketing is being laid off, how many, locations, levels, etc?
