Dell Technologies has confirmed it will cut approximately 12,000 jobs worldwide—about 10% of its global workforce—as part of a company-wide restructuring initiative. The decision, announced in March 2025, marks one of the largest workforce reductions in the company’s recent history. [Source]
According to internal sources, the job cuts will affect employees across departments and regions, with a noticeable impact on teams that were part of Dell’s remote and hybrid work setup.
Dell’s leadership cited the need for operational efficiency and closer team collaboration as reasons for this restructuring. The company is reportedly moving towards a more centralized, in-office work culture. Employees previously allowed to work remotely or under hybrid models are being asked to return to office settings or accept severance packages. [Source]
“We’re evolving to support the business needs of the future. That requires reshaping how and where we work,” said a Dell spokesperson in an official statement.
The shift away from remote work contrasts with tech industry trends during the pandemic, where flexible work policies became widely adopted. However, Dell now joins other tech giants reconsidering their long-term hybrid strategies. [Source]
This wave of layoffs is not Dell’s first. In early 2023, the company also eliminated around 6,650 roles, citing a drop in demand for personal computers. However, this latest reduction is even more significant, reflecting broader market conditions and Dell’s ongoing transition into a more service- and cloud-focused enterprise solutions provider.

While Dell has pledged to offer support packages, including severance pay and job transition resources, the sudden downsizing has raised concerns among employees and tech industry analysts. The layoffs come amid economic uncertainty, inflation concerns, and reduced enterprise IT spending in global markets.
Analysts suggest this move could be part of a broader consolidation across the tech industry, especially as companies adjust their post-pandemic workforce strategies. Competitors such as HP, Cisco, and Intel have also announced cost-cutting measures in recent months. [Source]
Despite the workforce reduction, Dell says it remains committed to innovation and long-term growth. The company continues to invest in areas like cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, AI-driven enterprise solutions, and supply chain modernization.
“These changes are difficult but necessary. We’re positioning Dell Technologies to emerge stronger and more focused,” the company concluded. [Source]
