I don’t understand why we keep referring to “big cleanup” as if it’s a one-time event. We’ve been going through cleanup for a while now. What difference does it make anymore? There doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. At this point, I’m just hoping I can find something else that pays the bills before I’m laid off. Honestly, I treat every day like it could be the day I’m let go. Worrying or trying to anticipate it feels pointless now.

That's right. cheap disposable PCs for the masses.
still does not invalidate no one wants a dell. no one.
Most tech outfits are switching to mac as their defacto offerings from engineering on up.
Receptionists and warehouse will get the dell optiplex
You have to remember that only 20% of Dell's business is personal. The rest is all corporate. On every deal (all corporate) I ever approved, and there were thousands, the competition was Lenovo and HP. It was NEVER Apple.
Depends on how small the data center is. I run my entire home 'data center' through an old gaming desktop I built in college with a 4th-gen i5, 16gb of DDR3, and .75TB of flash storage and 24TB of HDDs.. It's my NAS, Plex compute, and even has an integrated RaPi firewall.
Can a MAC or Razor run a data center?
Asking for a friend...
I actually love my job at Dell however, my specific position along with the TINY department I'm in is primarily untouched by layoffs. Going on almost 10 years now and I can say that I only know of 3 people who were let go but, not due to WFR..
The thing is, is that Lenovo and HP aren't Dell's REAL competitors. It's Apple and other brands that cater to the younger crowd - aka college and high school students. The ironic part is that, MD started his company while a college kid and yet, has NO idea how to sell to them. Take a stroll through a college campus and see how many Dell computers students are using... It's 99% apple, HP, or "gaming" computers made by companies such as Razor. Fun colors, sleek, can do a lot more, and etc...
Dell is lagging behind in the "want" department. Nobody WANTS a dell. He-l, even Alienware is lackluster in the gaming department. Using Dell proprietary parts that you can't upgrade? lol wtf?
that is correct. dell as a company is a dying brand.
no one under 60 wants a Dell. It's mac or thinkpad.
no growth, no innovation. just exist to cut costs quarter after quarter.
our ceo has been irrelevant for over 10y.
