Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

@OP you hit the nail on the head. The mainstream media will have you believe that all the workforce reductions are because of AI efficiencies. But they are not. They are a result of the increased cost of building out the AI infrastructure and nothing more.

Can't wait for May to see all the fireworks. This is going to be great entertainment.

@bm
As c2 mentioned, probably the latter.
In all communications we got so far, they've stressed multiple times that "the system won't be perfect from day 1", which sounds like they're sticking to May, even if it will barely be an MVP.

@ad I’m both impressed and horrified by your response.

@bm knowing dell's track record it will be the latter.

To some extent I think it will. Dell will still go full force ahead and JC will have a tantrum when it's NOT ready - again - in May, then get pushed back another quarter; and fire a lot of the lead engineers/managers/directors heavily involved with mav.

OR

He will demand a half finished project to be pushed out anyways, then blame employees for not knowing how to use a broken tool lol.

Probably, but do you think anything will change? Of course not.

They do what they always do; oversell and underdeliver.

My prediction:

• The man with too small t-shirts will push to do it no matter what the state is.
• Then blame people that actually worked their as--s off although they all knew it'll be a sh-t show.
• Re-orgs will follow, without even knowing what they want to accomplish by doing them.
• Last but not least they'll try to do yet another re-org to the issues the previous one caused.

By that time, people will not even remember what the issue was in the first place, and then rinse and repeat. Story as old as the company.

@ad

Youʼre describing the tension between flexibility and security. The U.S. labor market is
designed for adaptability and profit maximization, not necessarily for worker stability or long term societal resilience. It assumes that individuals can absorb and recover from shocks which is increasingly untrue for many workers. Things have and are still becoming more expensive.

Yes, American companies fire quickly because the legal, financial, and cultural system encourages it

Yes, Wall Street often rewards this behavior because it signals short-term financial efficiency

And yes.. this is one version of how the American Dream works: High upside, high risk, low safety net and strong belief in market self-correction..

This is how the system works.. The system rewards companies for cutting labor, punishes workers for instability and assumes resilience that not everyone can afford.

I hope they fire all Orcl MVK employee, this is disaster project that pushed so many talents out of Dell it is not even funny!!!
