I’m not surprised that computer sales are down at Dell. Companies have been switching to Microsoft Surface Pro computers and Microsoft Azure Virtual machines for their remote contractors (instead of dedicated PCs to remotely connect to).

Best economy ever! Ever, I say! Historical even (or maybe hysterical—I get those two words confused sometimes)!

“Co-Chief Operating Officer Jeff Clarke said in an email to employees that the company is facing market conditions that “continue to erode with an uncertain future,” which will require restructuring the organization and letting some employees go”

He coulda just said “your fired” 😏

Good there are well-paying jobs in the construction, manufacturing and pipeline and energy industries today for these high tech workers to go to!

I’d like to see, “Federal government to cut 400,000 jobs” due to bloat, redundancies, and wide spread corruption.

Happens all the time. 6,000 layoffs is nothing in an industry that is more directly impacted by interest rate increases than almost any other industry.

They will be refilling those positions as soon as rates come back down next year. 12 million americans work in tech positions. 0.0005% of them just got laid off.

Michael Dell (CEO) is really only interested in his bottom line and bank account. He couldn't care less about his employees or the companies he purchases or the people they provided goods and services for.

“Co-Chief Operating Officer Jeff Clarke..."

They could start by getting rid of 'Co-' officers. Why do they need a Co-COO?

Not surprised.

Computer market has become the new VCR market. Saturated to the point that no one truly needs a new computer because theirs works fine for Facebook, e-mails and funny cat videos..................Same thing is happening in the Smartphone market.....................

According to reports and a thread I created the other day, federal agencies like the NSA are hiring these people up.
