They could save money in their mailings. I got 6 small brochures from them today. Expect at least 5 more before the end of the week.

Yep ... nervous as heck.
They’ve already offered a “volunteer separation package” that many have taken advantage of ... but not enough.

I figured things were getting ugly. I bought a Dell computer for my son for Christmas and then found a better cheaper one shortly after. I cancelled the Dell order and the rep was begging me to reconsider including offering me 25% off to keep it.
Never a good sign.

Newly Private Dell Computers To Fire 15,000 that's why it's called capitalism....obviously he can make more money without the 15000. perhaps the rules of zer0 care is what is costing the company money....either way in a vibrant economic environment this probably wouldn't have happened.../p>

Bong Boy’s $50k check won’t get him very far in this tanking economy as inflation gets a lot worse.

Had a couple of Dells. Neither lasted more than three years. When the dreaded blue screen popped up on the last one, I swore off Dell forever.
Three years isn't good enough!

My Dell has been nothing but trouble for the past 3 years. The cost of repairs eventually exceeded the cost of a Mac. I finally relented and bought a Mac and have had no problems.

Michael Dell is a Leftist, on top of all that.
I guess math eventually even convinces the Left of the truth.

We have Dells and are battling memory issues. Their cheap motherboards will only take 16G of RAM. That turns Eclipse on a Virtual Machines for Groovy/Grails development into a real problem.

Not much. "The severance package is two months' pay plus an extra week of pay for each year of service, a bonus at 75 per cent, obligated COBRA health insurance for 18 months in the United States, and outplacement services (in the US at least)." That's a lot more than I ever got any of the times I was laid off.

I’ve never been much impressed with Dell gear. I find most of it is always lacking in features (I am talking from an enterprise stand point, not home/consumer goods). Their gear runs and runs to be sure; but it is not well thought out and seems to copy the innovators with shoestring budgets.
I am sorry to hear about all these layoff’s however. Its tough as it is “out there” and the folks are going to have a hard time finding employment that matches what they were making at Dell.

Yep. Dell is a business, not a family. They are going to have to be cold if they ever want to be hot again.
