It wouldn't be a shocker, though. I just want to know if there's an actual strategy guiding all of this, or if they're still just fumbling in the dark. Either way, I hope they release me from my misery this time around.

If this were true, who is going to do the work?
No
As much as possible. Enjoy the ride!
@a7 good to know it’s not being used to pay people to stay home in their pajamas and claim they are working
The “strategy” is the same as it’s been for the last two years: keep the stock price inflated by cutting personnel costs to hide the lack of business growth.
This is a bucket you can only empty so many times though.
Yes. With knives.
Probably more if they can.
A guiding principle for Dell is that most employee labor is either non-value-added or replaceable by an automated tool. If something is value-added and will negatively affect customer-experience, Dell is betting that competitors are also cutting and making similar changes so bad changes aren't a share loss risk.
Dell also trumpets "do less with less". Cutting employees performing valuable work is no big deal because the remaining employees will stretch to absorb the most important parts while the lower value work will naturally fall out of stressed employee's workloads. It's a really cynical spin on business process improvement.
Bottom line: the only coherent strategy is to get rid of employees, and any action that accomplishes this is on the table.
Repeating another post. More navel gazing. Bollocks.
