This is what they are watching

I am expecting more layoffs. I have no insider info. I feel that they are going to keep pushng in the same direction. This means job cuts.

Lookat the stock price. It has gone up several times over since 2023, and guess what else started happening around then? The employee count began dropping hard. That is not a coincidence.

The stock price is what they are watching. it's not our frustration stress & complaints. Not our objections to RTO. Not 100s of posts about loyalty. Nah, not workload too. None of that matters when the number they care about keeps moving in the direction they want.

And now they are starting to believe AI can make human labor worth less than it is today. I hope that is wrong. I really do. I am almost certain it will not. But it sure feels like that is where this is headed.

The layoffs will continue. Dell is trying to fund its AI infrastructure build out. It’s expensive AF.

Main element of stock price rises are on the back of AI server business demand.

@OP Hello captain obvious. Nice to see you again
.

By downsizing functional teams to prioritize AI investment, the company has created critical staffing shortages in several key areas. No incoming layoff IMO.

Yes, they want more AI and that's all they freakin talk about but AI isn't full proof, nor trustworthy for a multi billion dollar company to simply assume it's "correct."

I do think there will be small layoffs but largescale? I highly doubt it. Especially if ODW is working as planned. I'd say if anything it will REDUCE layoffs.

IMPO, layoffs will continue but not in bulk. More of a trickle here and there... Like normal I suppose.

Eh, I partially agree but...

Dell has wanted to be under 100k employees for the last 6 years and stock price had little to do with that. Dell isn't a big enough company to have ever had 165k employees. Dell doesn't bring in enough money to have mid 100k employees like Google or Amazon does.

They decided to rush and get the company under 100k asap which is why layoffs have been so rampant the last 5-6 years. Stock price is fine for now... Investors are happy

Now with ODW rolling out, I think layoffs will be determined based on that. Assuming it goes well and how they want it to go, layoffs will dwindle to a more normal level and they might even open up more REQs.
