Tech Job Cuts 2024: Dell Dismisses 6000 Workers, 13000 Job Cuts in a Year
Dell has declared a new series of job cuts, letting go of over 6000 individuals. Throughout this financial year, Dell has made redundant a total of 13000 employees, exceeding their initial expectations.
Dell Technologies recently declared another wave of job cuts this week, leading to the dismissal of roughly 6,000 workers. This action contributes to the substantial decrease in the company's total number of employees, which reached 13,000 in the previous financial year, exceeding the initial forecasts.
Dell's recent job cuts are a part of a wider effort to reduce expenses, which also involves curbing outside recruitment and introducing restructures within the workforce and teams. This move was provoked by a period of slow demand for personal computers, resulting in an 11% revenue decline in the last quarter of the preceding year.
Dell disclosed on February 2 that it now has 120,000 employees worldwide, which is almost a 10% reduction from the last year. The company highlighted its continuous work to cut expenses, while prioritizing the support of its employees and the attraction, growth, and retention of skilled individuals.
Due to poor personal computer sales, Dell management declared the reduction of jobs at the beginning of 2023, initially planning to cut around 6,650 positions. Nevertheless, the total number of job losses during the fiscal year 2024 was almost double that amount.
Even with obstacles, Dell forecasts an increase in net revenue for its Client Solutions Group this year. However, this is paired with the anticipation of growing operational expenses and continuous decrease in net revenue from other business divisions due to alterations in its ties with VMware.
Dell is discontinuing its work from home program and is implementing a fresh office-return policy, classifying employees as either 'hybrid' or 'remote'. The objective is to prevent remote workers from being eligible for promotions or position shifts within the company.
Dell, once recognized for its blended work environment, has recently made policy adjustments that impact those working from home. A new study disclosed that employees working remotely and looking for advancement are now required to adopt a mixed work approach, which includes being present in the office at least three days each week. This change has sparked worries among employees about potential limitations on their career progression and lessened adaptability.
On the other hand, a research mentioned by Bloomberg underscores the potential for income growth in businesses that provide flexible remote work arrangements. Enterprises that have completely adaptable work-from-home rules saw a 21 per cent sales rise from 2020 to 2022, in comparison to a mere 5 per cent growth in revenue for businesses with a mix of remote and onsite work or entirely onsite operations during the identical timeframe.
