I was a DCG lay off and wondering how are things now? Seems like a lot of the DCG leadership is leaving or on sabbatical and there are lots of chief operating officers and chiefs of staffs. Lots of chiefs. How are things?

Just got laid off in RTP DCG. DCG got hit hard this year with 8 people in just my small department being laid off. Goodluck to everyone!

Well the layoffs have have begun in the RTP offices today. People are being handed their pink slips in 1 on 1’s

I just got laid off from the DCG BU. I basically get a 6 week severance with 3 months health. Lenovo continues with their yearly tradition. There are more impacted, I don't know the whole number.

Title says it all. Curious who else is having them scheduled. Pretty interesting that they dumped a few Execs last week and managers scheduling 1-on-1 meetings for tomorrow.

Lots of folks talking about the impending layoff that's incoming, but very few real details with specifics to back them up. I think it's time we get a thread together that has real information rather than just rumors. If you know the facts, post them... — read more
