Dell Cuts Workforce 27% to 97,000 as Cost-Cutting Gathers Pace
Dell Technologies reduced its global workforce by 27% from 133,000 in FY2023 to 97,000 in FY2026, cutting about 11,000 jobs in FY2026 and reporting roughly $569 million in severance. The reductions are part of disciplined cost management and a broader business modernization effort as Dell pivots toward AI-driven efficiency, aided by market shifts such as VMware’s sale and EMC integration.
