Dell Technologies Cuts Jobs – Dell has undertaken significant measures as part of a comprehensive strategy to enhance efficiency and reduce expenses, as outlined in a recent filing released on Monday. According to the filing, as of February 2, 2024, Dell’s employee count stood at nearly 120,000, marking a decrease from approximately 126,000 employees recorded a year prior.

These adjustments to the workforce coincide with a period of prolonged subdued demand for personal computers, which has persisted for nearly two years and contributed to an 11% decline in revenue during the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Despite these challenges, Dell remains optimistic about the future performance of its client solutions group (CSG), which encompasses its PC division. The company has expressed its expectation for net revenue growth within the CSG throughout the entirety of the fiscal year. It is noteworthy that the segment’s revenue experienced a decline of 12% in the fourth quarter.

While acknowledging the existence of short-term challenges, Dell is confident in the anticipated improvement in demand and a more competitive pricing environment in fiscal year 2025. However, the company is also mindful of potential increases in input costs and anticipates a “continued reduction of our other businesses’ net revenue” due to changes in its commercial relationship with VMware, a significant software company.

In recent years, Dell has engaged in share repurchases associated with its stake in VMware, which facilitated its reentry into the public market in 2018. It’s important to mention that chipmaker Broadcom completed its acquisition of VMware for $69 billion last year.

Notably, Dell undertook a workforce reduction of 6,650 jobs in the previous year as it prepared for potential economic challenges and faced declining demand for personal computers. These proactive measures aimed to position the company strategically amidst evolving market dynamics.
