Apparently Erik Day and other MB managers are saying they laid people off because sellers said they wanted more accounts in Tell Dell? Has anyone else heard this too? How incredibly insulting!!

Rumors said today was going to be a bloodbath, how many were hit? What are the numbers you're hearing?

It hurts to say it, especially since I service ISG, but ISG deserves to be shut down. Engineering can never release anything competitive on time, product management doesn't know what a roadmap is, and neither understands enough about the market to... — read more 

It used to be pay, culture, prestige. All of that is gone. Is there anything good left?

Today was the RUMORED targeted cur back day. (Yes I know its been going on for months). If those that get cut feel up to it, can you add to this post if its so?

Just checked my calendar like I do every night to plan ahead. Mumford meetings shuffled due to conflicts but didn't give details. Is it really going to be that bad later today?

Anyone else with an invite on their calendar for tonight and stressing over what tomorrow brings?

Dell filed w the sec on the amount the layoffs will cost the Company

They are hiding it by running monthly layoffs below x number of employees per month, so they would not need do publicly announce it. The AI is still sh-t and its bubble will bite them, can't wait 😆

Just got my email today. This bdsm show is over for me now. Good luck, pals!

Layoffs in India and US August first week. Many teams in ISG impacted.

When I first applied two years ago, I checked this page and told myself it was just unhappy people venting. Now I've been here long enough to know they were right. The culture, the management, the chaos, it's all here in black and white. I should... — read more 

So many posts that contradict another post outta hard to keep up. WFR supposedly happening on Monday but a lot of talk that some groups have already been notified on Friday. So WFRs already finished?

Why are so many western companies being criticised by people trying to drag down morale? The ones posting hate at Dell: are they ex employees? Or paid to post and destabilise? I don’t trust this forum anymore. There are real and genuine worries... — read more

I know people don't want to hear that but it's true. Hear it out. BAIN is running the company now. That's why there is such a stark deviation from the way Dell has always operated in the past. Bain & Company is one of the top global Management... — read more 

As in, those who do not get WFRed and freed from this shithole, what fresh he-l awaits us next week?

Employees deserved better. Shareholders will be next to take the brunt. Dell is dying

Happened this morning, right when the day started. To all the dorks in here saying they're unsubstantiated rumors? no one is safe from global WFR's for the AI we've been training

Got my previously unscheduled 1:1 meeting invite for Monday today. This is going to be a big one. I couldn’t care less about Dell so I’ll certainly share exactly what I’m told. I’m in the US.

August is going to be blood bath month. Wondering how dell manages without any public announcement!! I see so many teams impacted in ISG.

Any news on Limerick or Cork impact?

How many Dell software engineers does it take to change a lightbulb? Five: one to write the ticket, one to reproduce the issue, one to say "works on my machine," one to schedule a meeting about it, and one to close the ticket as "won't fix."

Dell will be worth exactly 3 percent of today’s market value and 82 percent of its employees will be gone. Rough rough rough times ahead for Dell. Get your popcorn

And you can bet I will play w him all day and not do my dell work
