DELL – one of the largest laptop manufacturers has recently fired around 6000 employees from its workforce. Dell Technologies has recently confirmed that it is reducing its workforce as part of a broader cost-cutting initiative. The company has implemented measures such as limiting external hiring and reorganizing its employees. As of February 2, 2024, Dell had nearly 120,000 employees, which is down from about 126,000 employees the previous year.
The decision to reduce the workforce comes as Dell has experienced sluggish demand for its personal computers for nearly two years. This decline in demand has contributed to an 11% drop in revenue during the fourth quarter of the previous year. The company’s financial results for the last three months of the year indicated a decrease in revenue, prompting the need for cost-cutting measures.
