Dell Technologies has announced plans to further reduce its headcount despite strong performance in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. In a recent 10-Q filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the company stated its commitment to “disciplined cost management” and “ongoing business transformation initiatives,” which include measures such as limiting external hiring and implementing employee reorganizations.

I think this title is being easily misunderstood.

Dell is not cutting jobs by having AI compensate for those positions, they’re cutting down on sales teams and creating a new team that focuses on AI products.

From the article:

The latest job cuts appear to be part of a broader reorganization of Dell’s sales teams, including the creation of a new group focused on AI products and services – an area where Dell plans significant growth. For instance, in June, Dell, alongside Supermicro, was selected to provide hardware infrastructure for Elon Musk’s xAI startup’s AI supercomputer.

They deserve to have absolutely catastrophic quarterly results - up to and including outright failing and filing for bankruptcy - until and unless they reverse course on this manifestly idiotic strategy.
