Dell afskediger 6.650 ansatte på grund af fald i PC-salg

5% af deres ansatte er 6650, dvs. der er ialt 6650/0.05 = 133000 ansatte, wow.

Det er forståeligt at Dell ser et fald i desktop PC-salg. De har først og fremmest erhvervskunder og PCer er generelt blevet "gode nok" til kontor brug i mange flere år end det før var tilfældet. Dertil har mange firmaer lidt ondt i pengepungen for tiden, så det er nok ikke højt på prioriteringslisten at skifte en ældre PC ud der fint kan køre typisk kontor software.

Laptops derimod, slides og smadres vel med samme hast som altid. Jeg synes endda at nyere laptops går hurtigere i stykker end ældre. Men mon ikke det er fordi ansatte bliver bedt om at leve med en skrammet laptop lidt endnu hvis budgettet er stramt.

Der er dem som siger at chefer i store IT firmaer fyrer ca. 6% af de ansatte fordi det gør alle de andre.

De 5% er ikke så langt fra de 6%.

Men jeg tror nu at der er rigtig økonomisk grund bagved denne fyringsrunde.

PC salget faldt 29% fra 21Q4 til 22Q4. 29%!!!!

Det skal resulterer i nedskæringer hos PC leverandørerne. Sådan fungerer økonomi.

Dell er mere end PC'ere.

Servere.

Storage (EMC).

Software (VMWare hvilket inkluderer open source Spring og RabbitMQ) [VMWare blev solgt til Broadcom i maj 2022 for 69 B$, men handlen er ikke afsluttet endnu, så de ansatte er stadig en del af Dell]

Auch. Er det desktops, laptops eller tilsammen?

#3 Ja, giver mening. Det antal ansatte, 158000 ifølge wikipedia, er inklusive en masse underselskaber.

Tallene varierer lidt men de fleste siger et fald på 28-29% fra 21Q4 til 22Q4.

Det ser iøvrig ud som om at Dell er hårdere ramt end gennemsnittet med et fald på 37%.
