To any EMC employees reading this: Dell is probably going to pay out your vacation balance as cash in a lump sum prior to the merge. Around that time your EMC title will be mapped to something at Dell. There's a pay range associated with the new title that probably won't match your current title.

If you're planning on sticking around (and your manager likes you), see if you can work with them to tweak your title before the deal goes through.

Would such HR changes also apply to subsidiaries like RSA and VMware?

No idea. My personal experience with a Dell merger was with a company that had no subsidiaries.
