Loyalty and Performance Overlooked in Corporate Layoffs
Loyalty and Performance Overlooked in Corporate Layoffs
You can be part of a nice work team and enjoy your day to day.
Payments on time. Opportunity to learn.
I was initially drawn to Dell by the promise of long-term career growth and stability. When I joined, I was told that my role would provide the foundation for a lasting career at the company.
I consistently performed well, maintained strong relationships with my team, and was always compliant and committed. My work was appreciated by colleagues, and I genuinely enjoyed contributing to our projects.
However, without warning, Dell initiated a workforce reduction, and I was let go—not due to performance issues (as was explicitly stated), but simply due to the company’s “future direction.” I was notified on a Monday that my last day would be that same week’s Friday, leaving me little time to process or plan.
While I understand that businesses make tough decisions, the lack of transparency, foresight, and employee commitment was disappointing. I expected better from a company of Dell’s intended reputation.
Company values did not align with employee treatment.

It went very smoothly, and everyone was kind and welcoming. The process was quite clear, and there were three interviews in total. I was expected to work on a presentation for the third interview, but I had enough time and guidance to prepare for it

It was a fairly typical technical interview, with questions about my background in the tech field. I’ve been in the field for years, so it wasn’t a stressful interview. The interviewer was very personable and fairly open.
