This decision comes as part of a reorganization aimed at streamlining operations and enhancing the company's focus on modern IT and AI solutions. The layoffs have impacted even long-term employees, with HR overwhelmed by the process. Dell's leadership emphasized the need to become a leaner organization to better serve customers and partners. The layoffs coincide with a broader trend in the tech industry, where companies like Intel are also reducing their workforce to manage financial challenges.
