From an average employee's point of view, Dell cannot afford to lose people. Indeed, it would be a debacle if those few remaining talented employees who are still there were to leave or get cut. However, when did our leadership ever make logical decisions? Perhaps it's better to be ready in case some of us end up on the layoff list. Just my 2 cents.

Disgusting crook.. rot in he-l!!
If visionary technology company founder Michael Dell could start up a business all over again, where would he do it now?
One word: China.
"I would go to China at age 19 and start my company there. It's a much better environment,"
the only people that should probably be laid off are 80% of the people leaders, but because they’re immune from any consequences in the bubble they’ve built around themselves, that’ll never happen
So much that can be learned from the past.

"I would go to China at age 19 and start my company there. It's a much better environment," said Dell's (DELL, Fortune 500) CEO in a conversation with Charlie Rose at Ernst & Young's Strategic Growth Forum in Palm Desert, Calif.
What he really thinks of Wall Street:
“ Michael S. Dell is gleeful to have his namesake firm to himself. And to be done with Wall Street.
“This morning on the treadmill I was watching Bloomberg and CNBC, all the circus clowns,” Mr. Dell said in a recent interview. His disdain for investment advice as entertainment is obvious — so obvious that no one should have been surprised that to get away from Wall Street’s influence”
Was there anything learned from the past?

Yes and when numbers are showing that sales are flat etc. headcount reductions and the benefits savings that go along with letting people go,and off shoring of positions to reduce salaries moving products to HCL. Make the stock look better. Plus the huge mountain of debt that is hanging over the company has accumulated that they want to reduce.
Stock price has no relationship to how a company is doing, accountants can spin and cook the books…
This comment on Fake news must be HR looking after stock price again.People are uneasy because they believe layoffs are coming.
NO layoffs FAKE news
Record high stock and record bonus payout.
Nothing is stopping the DEll train
We really need to define exactly what a layoff is.
I feel everything is getting shoved under layoffs and that leads to perpetual talks of one
Are we talking layoff in the magnitude portion of the whole workforce. NO. NO. and NO. Dell cannot afford to lose people. period.
Are we talking a trim here, a trim there? Sure. happens in EVERY company.
I will also say, if there was such a thing as a good time to get laid off, that time is now.
that is so not true.
The Executives are making decisions based on spreadsheets with employees job pay grade and age of employee. Ageism is real and decision to eliminate positions is happening. There is no WARN filed or notification.
