AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT KESEYA

Miami, Florida-based Kaseya, an information technology company that provides software for network and system monitoring and other IT applications, primarily for managed service providers and internal IT departments, has announced a 5% reduction in its global workforce.

The reduction affects 250 employees, mostly in the sales department, including account management and related support positions. This follows cuts in October 2025 (200) and April 2024 (150).

According to Xavier Gonzalez, the company's Chief Communications Officer, "The layoffs were part of a go-to-market realignment. The company’s account management teams are being organized more by customer segment, and working even more closely with our technical specialists and customer success teams. These are internal changes aimed at making our team more efficient, responsive, and aligned with customer needs. This was not an easy decision, and it was not made lightly. We are deeply grateful for the contributions those impacted employees have made to Kaseya, and we truly wish them the very best in what comes next."

Change is constant, and it's coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else?

Round Rock, Texas-based Dell, the iconic computer company, has announced a reorganization and cost-cutting initiative.

The reduction in force will impact 5% of Dell's workforce, or 6,650 employees.

According to an SEC statement, "Dell Technologies announced to its employees reorganizations and actions to align its investments more closely with its previously discussed strategic and customer priorities. These actions will result in a reduction of approximately 5% of the Company’s workforce as the Company continues to take prudent steps in light of a challenging global economic environment."

Co-Chief Operating Officer Jeff Clarke noted, "The company is experiencing market conditions that continue to erode with an uncertain future. Previous cost-cutting measures, including a pause on hiring and limits on travel, are no longer enough. The department reorganizations, along with the job reductions, are viewed as an opportunity to drive efficiency. We’ve navigated economic downturns before and we’ve emerged stronger. We will be ready when the market rebounds."

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT ARM

Cambridge, England-based Arm Ltd., a semiconductor chip producer and software design company specializing in CPU chipsets, has announced a major cost-cutting reduction in force that will impact between twelve- to fifteen percent of its workforce, or an estimated 1,000 employees located in the United States and the United Kingdom.

The decision appears to follow the failure of the acquisition of ARM by chipmaker NVIDIA due to global regulatory resistance on anti-trust grounds. NVIDIA will remain a major ARM licensee.

According to a company spokesperson, "Like any business, ARM is continually reviewing its business plan to ensure the company has the right balance between opportunities and cost discipline. Unfortunately, this process includes proposed redundancies across Arm’s global workforce."

Japanese conglomerate Softbank appears to be proceeding with its backup plan of taking ARM public -- which might mean greater employee layoffs
