In 2024 Dell fired 10% of its squad for the second consecutive year. This data has been confirmed not because the company has recognized it, but for a communication to the SEC, that is, to the United States Stock Market Commission, in which, among other things, it has to inform about the number of workers he uses.
The most recent of these communications corresponds at the end of this year, and certifies that Dell had 12,000 employees less on January 31, 2025 than on January 31, 2024. The form in question, the 10-K of the United States, serves as an annual report for US authorities, and collects that the company had 108 workers at the end of last January.
At the end of January 2024, Dell had 120,000 workers, 13,000 less than on the same date of 2023. As in 2024, in 2023 Dell also fired 10% of its workforce, already early 2024 already recognized that they were going to continue to fire personnel throughout the year.
However, this year’s staff cuts were finally numerous than the company had raised, since they initially had plans to fire 500 more workers. Even so, Dell has dispensed with 25,000 workers in the last two years.
Of course, it is more than likely that not all the casualties recorded this year were due to dismissals. Some employees will have gone to work at other companies, and another part may also be due to retirement. But the vast majority, without a doubt, are due to dismissals.
Especially after last September The company admitted that the AI is using more and more of work. Although many probably changed companies after last year the company eliminated teleworking and forced the workforce to return to work from the office, which generated a great rejection. In addition, last August began a restructuring of its marketing and sales department, which resulted in dismissals.
