Dell Technologies plans to lay off sales team employees

An American multinational technology company, Dell Technologies will sack its employees in the core sales team as the company adopts a new partner-driven market strategy.

According to Economic Times, a Dell spokesperson said, “Some members of our sales team will leave the company.”

“We don’t make these decisions lightly, and we’ll support those impacted as they transition to their next opportunity,” the spokesperson added.

“We’re always assessing our business to remain competitive and ensure we’re set up to deliver the best innovation, value, and service to our customers and partners”, the spokesperson further added.

However, the company did not confirm if these layoffs are part of or in addition to the layoffs in February, Dell Technologies laid off 6,500 employees or approximately 5% of the then-133,000-strong workforce.
