Dai said in response to layoffs: always evaluating the business situation, continuously optimizing operational management.

On the evening of September 9th, in response to rumors of layoffs, Dell stated that the company has been evaluating its business development status in order to maintain a competitive advantage globally. "Through the restructuring of market, sales, and other business processes, as well as a series of other measures, we continue to optimize operational management and ensure that we can create value for customers and provide the best innovation and service," Dell said in a statement. Previously, media reports citing insiders stated that this round of layoffs mainly involved Dell's EMC storage department and client solutions group in Shanghai and Xiamen. One source also stated that this is the third round of layoffs in recent months, with the previous two rounds having departure dates on August 15 and September 12 respectively. However, it is currently unclear the scale of the latest round of layoffs.
