According to Dell, layoffs will continue to be a way of life at Dell. I don't understand anyone trying to downplay this, or even worse, claim that layoffs aren't happening.
From the following article:

"Layoffs at Dell Technologies are expected to be an ongoing part of business with more cuts expected before the end of the year as it seeks more “disciplined cost management” to prepare for the future."
