It looks good for shareholder value for this quarterly report, when you stop giving big raises (no promotions) and when mobile talent resigns (no need to pay severance) both reducing opex.

The work they did in the previous quarter is being sold right now and driving revenue numbers up.

It's the work that they won't do next quarter that won't hit shelves for even longer that will impact revenue eventually that they're missing out on, but that isn't measured in their financials.

The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain employed.

It's a stealth layoff. They want to have fewer employees.

This is Dell we're talking about. They can always find a PE shop to take them private again like they did in 2013.

its not the first nor last time, a corporation will want to have a cake and eat it too... and get second free cake too

They do this because "no one wants to work anymore" :) /s
