Dell cutting 6,600 jobs
The Hill ^ | 02/06/2023 | LAUREN SFORZA

Dell Technologies is the latest technology company to announce job cuts, saying Monday that it will be cutting about 5 percent of its workforce, or about 6,600 jobs.

According to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, Dell will cut 5 percent of its global workforce to respond to a “challenging global economic environment.” 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. “In the coming days and weeks, you’ll begin to see a series of changes — some resets — across the organization to better structure us for the future, to better collaborate, reduce complexity, increase speed and to accelerate innovation,” Clarke said in the email that was included in the SEC filing.

Dell is the latest company in the technologies industry to announce layoffs. PayPal and Workday also announced rounds of job cuts last week, eliminating 7 percent and 3 percent of their workforces, respectively.

Isn’t Dell’s corporate headquarters in Texas?

Round Rock, just north of Austin.

What happened to “Learn to Code.”
I thought that was the answer for unemployment.

So what is used to host the virtual machine?

Microsoft Surface Pros for employees who carry them back and forth to the office for the two or three days a week they're in.

For remote contractors, whatever they use for their company. We previously had them connecting remotely to dedicated PCs in the office but now they're connecting to Windows Virtual Devices (WVD). Prior to 2019 we had 20 dedicated machines but now we're down to 5 dedicated machines due to software restrictions and have 30+ virtual machine users.

Just one more robust machine instead of 10 individual ones.

Dell hasn’t really done anything to innovate. In most cases, their products are just average at best.

Most of the things people needed PCs for in the first place, can now be done on their cell phone.

But what about all of the advanced features that will be built into Windows 13 requiring a new platform to handle the bloatwear.

Several years ago the TV news showed how the North Koreans were operating their computer systems.

First thing I noticed was that they were using DELL Computers. Again, North Korea.

I didn’t know that!

“Curtis stopped appearing in the commercials in 2003, after he was arrested for trying to buy marijuana. Dell’s strict drug-free policy forced them to terminate his contract, although Dell was already moving in a new direction with their commercials.”

He’s 39 now...which makes me feel old.

Are you including Google, Twitter, Apple, Facebook into that %?

50k here and 60k there, and all of a sudden you’ve got numbers that mean something.
