Sounds like a lot more jobs down the drain.

The company, which is based in Round Rock, Texas, also didn't say whether it will lay off workers or eliminate jobs through attrition to save money. Wednesday's presentation for analysts and investors mentioned "consolidation" of sales support, a winnowing process that often leads to layoffs. Dell currently employs about 109,000 workers.

One of Dell's major rivals, Hewlett-Packard Co., announced plans last month to eliminate 27,000 jobs to help reduce its annual expenses by $3 billion to $3.5 billion by October 2014. HP's job cuts will affect about 8 percent of its workforce

Question is, are the cuts mentioned, all here in the states or are world wide operations being affected?

Dell is not hurting by any stretch of the imagination, they've bought more than three companies this year alone and are on tap to buy software maker Quest, possibly this week.
The laying off of people is nothing more than a shift in focus for the future, they see the PC as a dwindling mkt.

My fear is the PC will soon be outdated because of the cloud and laptops.
But they will be making them for a long time, they will just cost more due to lack of demand.
