Dude, you're getting a pink slip.
the layoffs most likely will be in the USA....their sub-standard outsourced un-intelligeable tech support in india will be kept at a pitance!!!!
I guess that customer service with “Steve” over in India isn’t working out so well?
They're only now joining the AMD party, now that their processors are behind the curve.
Every one of those employees laid off should file a class-action suit against Intel. AMD is already pounding on Intel in court for strong-arm, anti-competitive practices. They're ripe for another assault by some of those harmed by those policies.
Dell’s stock was up 2.6% today and is up another 6% in after hours trading, for what that is worth.
A correct way of saying "things aren't going too well and we need to cut costs and then reevaluate"...
Dude....you’re getting layed off!!!
Looks like Austin is about to be flooded with unemployed. The bars in Round Rock are going to clean up tonight; lots of people drinking their sorrows away.
I told them they could keep their computers (or words to that effect).

Dell laptops are falling way behind the curve. Last I checked, they don’t even have any new Santa Rosa based ones at all. And certainly no Geforce 8600 based video cards in them.
To all those rejoicing in the loss of 8,000 American jobs. I respectfully suggest you try rooting for the “home team” every once in awhile.
Love my Dells, tech support is pretty good, on major windows crashes you have to really get someone who knows their stuff. But it might take a couple of calls anyway. Have had excellent results and reliability from the computers(more than 10 purchases) for more than 10 years now. My first was a Gateway and it was a POS lemon out of the box.
Just went through really crappy tech support (outsourced)with Linksys on a 3 week old router that died (bought from dell, new replacement came right away), and the new Linksys software is disconnecting the router. Figured this out with Verizon’s DSL tech, who was stellar and an American.
Nationalize Dell, and end the problem of regular layoffs. Problem solved!
Dude, you're getting a pink slip.
Dell, just the latest of corporations whose management decisions choked the goose who laid the golden egg...
Poor designs, cheapest possible execution and massive outsourcing of manufacturing and “customer service” — doesn’t earn U.S. customer satisfaction or LOYALTY...
Dell’s U.S. market share and profits will continue to decline, so layoffs will continue on an increasingly steeper ramp...
Been there, seen that....
Yikes! This is not good news for Round Rock, Texas where my daughter lives! Pure rich Yuppy land up there but maybe not for long?
As a H-P stockholder... I’m satisfied these days.
