@by 158k to 133k is a result of selling VMware and moving those employees off the books. In reality, we have decreased from 133k to 98k which is far lower than most all other tech companies and other major industry major companies in that time
Dell is done. Everyone is on the list. All of these elite corporate power structures are being exposed and collapsing. The world is beginning to heal.
@cw The true number is ~95K and dropping rapidly. The number you're hyping includes all of Dell's UberEats drivers, executive leadership's massage therapists, and water delivery people.
@by Dell now has 128k people, everybody can see this number of reports under MD. This number includes contractors though.
Happy I got a huge severance from Dell and left this toxic industry.
@bw They've been PIPing people off of my team for the last 5-6 years.
@by its race 2 bottom.
Dell is already ahead of the game. Based on the 10-K, here you go:
Fiscal 2026: ~97,000 employees
Fiscal 2025: 108,000 employees
Fiscal 2024: 120,000 employees
Fiscal 2023: 133,000 employees
Fiscal 2022: 133,000 employees
Fiscal 2021: 158,000 employees
@be they are trying to do it on the cheap. Constructive dismissals, get ready for the PIPs.
yet the stock keeps rising despite all this despicability so I guess that sort of proves us all wrong.
@OP Dell already has "been next." Consider the fact that Dell had over 150,000 worldwide employees less than three years ago. Today that number is barely 90-95k and falling.
The difference is Dell is doing it much more harshly and despicably. Their objective - it's obvious to even the most casual observer - is to make our lives so miserable that we quit on our own so they don't have to pay severance like Oracle is doing. That's destructive business ethics.
If you step back and look at the big picture, it's easy to see - RTO nonsense, very limited to zero bonuses or raises, no promotions, no equipment updates, no RSUs, no backfills, no job transfers, no accountability by exec leadership, all blame heaped on ICs, the list goes on and on.
It's intentional. It's deliberate. It's slimy. It's despicable. It's Dell.
@b1 They also didn’t do it at once to avoid the regulations that they have to notify the various states of the mass layoffs. I don’t know about Texas but Massachusetts has such rules.
They heavily invested in Oracle.
Here is what I found:
Morgan Stanley has warned of a "dangerous new money loop" in the AI sector, where major technology firms, such as Microsoft and Nvidia, invest heavily in AI developers that, in turn, use those funds to buy services from the original investors. This "capital inner circulation" risks creating a bubble due to the disparity between over $1 trillion in AI spending commitments and actual revenue, potentially leading to a "synchronized shock" and "credit fears".

In other words the AI bubble already started.
have you been watching over the past few years. We've been the leader in layoffs, we just avoid the mass scale to avoid being the number one story in the news.
Not that large. Dell isn’t making any significant investments like Oracle.
