You are all saying that the goal is to cut the total number from 130 000 to 100 000. Anyone knows what's the current number? How many employees are being laid off per week?

Too many
Current layoff is at 3542 employees
Heard from a reliable source that the goal is 80-85K, not sure the timeline.
It's the word of Bain so Dell will follow. Difficult to know the current amount without running a HR query.
Its the same intelligentsia BS that these central planners in government take. They are focused on hacking and slashing and "process" to optimize, they don't know how to really create value like true industrialists. Dell's quality and innovation will continue to suffer in a feedback loop. Our IP will continue falling behind. Hopefully when Clark finally goes, there will be enough of a business and investment pool left to reinvest into the business with superior products that win in the market.
@reh+1raRiqxZ Its the MBA-ification of big corporate. They all end up the same in the end. And then they wonder why they peak.
This $1k per $1 billion is an arbitrary Bain quota that they enforce with each client they've got. Bain has no path to growth, just to dilution of the workforce -- that is their only selling point to clients -- outsource and lay off.
@dtr+1raRiqxZ Not quite - they want 1k employees per $1b in revenue. So 80-100k employees based on the current revenue, but they're hoping they get back to a 100b and above revenue. The reality is our revenue has su-ked since everyone bought laptops during COVID.
Jeff probably wants 50,000
not enough to get below 100000.
