Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Dell is to lay off about 6,650 workers because of the decline in demand for personal computers.<\/b><\/p>\n

The job cuts are expected to affect about 5% of its global workforce.<\/p>\n

The company faced tough market conditions with an uncertain future and its previous cost-cutting measures were no longer enough, co-chief operating officer Jeff Clarke wrote in a memo.<\/p>\n

Dell, based in Round Rock, Texas, announced similar lay-offs in 2020, after the pandemic hit.<\/p>\n

The latest department reorganisations and job cuts were an opportunity to drive efficiency, a company representative said.<\/p>\n

“We continuously evaluate operations to ensure the right structure is in place to provide the best value and support to partners and customers.<\/p>\n

“This is part of our regular course of business,” a Dell spokesperson told.<\/p>\n

Lay-offs in the US hit a more than two-year high in January, as the technology industry, once a reliable source of employment, cut jobs at the second-highest pace on record – to brace for a possible recession, a report showed on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Companies including Google, Amazon and Meta are now grappling with how to balance cost-cutting measures with the need to remain competitive, as consumer and corporate spending shrinks amid high inflation and rising interest rates, after the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said recent job cuts had been “the most difficult changes we’ve made in Meta’s history”, while Twitter cut about half its staff after multi-billionaire Elon Musk took control, in October.<\/p>\n
