Dell is cutting more staff, its second round of mass layoffs in the past 15 months.
Two Dell sales executives broke the news in an internal memo to employees on Monday, Bloomberg reports. Dell is switching up its sales teams to put a big emphasis on AI products and make changes to how it handles data center sales, which are in demand as AI firms look to train their latest models.
"We are getting leaner," says the internal memo from Dell's Bill Scannell and John Byrne. "We’re streamlining layers of management and reprioritizing where we invest."
In a statement to The Register, Dell said: "We are combining teams and prioritizing where we invest across the company. We continually evolve our business, so we're set up to deliver the best innovation, value, and service to our customers and partners."
While Dell has confirmed the layoffs, it hasn't revealed how many employees are losing their jobs. SiliconAngle reports that roughly 12,500 Dell employees are being laid off this week, citing an unnamed source. Impacted employees are primarily on Dell's sales and marketing teams. A layoff tracker has since reported the same number.
Former Dell employee Ian Armstrong, who previously worked on the company's UX design team for eight years, called the layoffs a "bloodbath" in a post, reporting that Dell has now laid off 24,500 staff in the past 15 months. Dell previously laid off 13,000 employees in the past fiscal year, with about half of those cuts occurring in February last year.
根據彭博社報導DELL正在進行新一波裁員
將銷售部門整併，將產品重點放在AI產品上
戴爾在給 The Register 的聲明中證實裁員
但未透露出人數
據SiliconAngle引述不願具名人士透露
本週將裁員12500名員工
多為銷售及行銷團隊員工
心得/評論：
現在賣東西都要加AI，連裁員也要加AI
AI是不是躺著賺所以不需要那麼多銷售和行銷員工了？
還是有其他原因，月底財報見真章
