Description

In France, the Dell management has negotiated a voluntary departure plan (based on a collective dismissal contract / so called rupture conventionnelle collective) to cut 323 positions this year in France on the Montpellier (Hérault) and Bezons (Val-d'Oise) sites. It means that more than 17% of the workforce will loss their job. The agreement reached with the unions specifies that Dell intends to use artificial intelligence 'in the short term' in activities such as 'marketing and human resources'. As far as departure conditions are concerned, the agreement provides for accompanying measures such as compensation of 1.7 months' salary per year of seniority up to 13 years (1.9 for those aged over 50) and between 1.2 and 1.4 months for each additional year.

This agreement might be part of the jobs cut worldwide announced in 2023 Dell 2023 - WO.
