I cannot believe my group hasn't been hit harder. We are creating vaporware.

2 months + 1 week/year
I mean, FSE's aren't really vital to any company. It's more of a perk or luxury.
Is there a future for being an FSE? they have already got rid of the install work and only break/fix left. I think they will also outsource all the work at some point also because the utilization numbers don't justify keeping so many staff. I think they will keep some FSE staff in bigger cities. What do you think?

For instance, Dell actually laid staff off in 2020, when the pandemic really got going – so for Dell, this is not simply a shedding of excess bodies that were picked up to deal with a bo-m.
“there’s no escaping the fact that it was forced on Dell by some grim reading in the company’s third quarter 2023 fiscal year results in late November last year, which saw the company’s product sales across laptops, desktops and workstations drop by an unhealthy 10%, and its overall revenue across the board down 6%.
While Clarke, perhaps a little belatedly for his shareholders’ liking, put a brave face on the layoffs, saying the company had faced tough times before and “emerged stronger” at the end of them, and that “Dell will be ready when the market rebounds,” there’s no getting away from the sense that this feels like one of the most bleak layoff announcements so far.
Weathering the storm?
It feels that way because the by-now usual narrative of taking on staff to cope with a pandemic bo-m doesn’t especially apply to Dell. This is not the result of the rollercoaster of economic circumstances applying to most big companies in the technology sector. This is a big computer manufacturer which laid off staff while others were taking them on, admitting that everything it’s done to weather the storm so far has not been enough – and so another 6,000 families have to find themselves down a wage, even at a time when the same inflationary and economic pressures are affecting them too.”
“ A bleak honesty.
To an extent, if you read between the lines of a memo from Jeff Clarke, the company’s co-chief operating officer, there’s a bleak honesty about the company’s economic future visible here. Clarke wrote that “the company faces tough market conditions with an uncertain future, and its previous cost-cutting measures are no longer enough.”
That’s not slapping on a happy face and giving a rousing chorus of “The sun’ll come out tomorrow…” That’s acknowledging that everything Dell has done so far to stay ahead of what it calls “downturn impacts” has not been enough to avoid a 5% shrinkage of the company’s overall worldwide workforce.
Clarke, who should probably be applauded for honesty, even if Dell shareholders are grabbing their torches and pitchforks as we speak, also acknowledged that the company might even have to take “additional decisions to prepare for the road ahead.”
