The redundancy news had slowed down of late and the opportunists seemed to have had their fill of sacking people. Unfortunately Alienware, their parent company Dell specifically, has announced that they will be cutting jobs despite global expansion. From Big Download. (http://news.bigdownload.com/)
ExtremeTech reports that in a memo sent to Alienware employees the company will shut down manufacturing plants in Miami (where Alienware was originally founded) and in Ireland. Alienware PCs will now be made in previously established Dell plants. A number of Alienware workers will also be laid off although exact numbers have not been revealed. Oddly enough, Alienware also plans to expand the reach of its PC brand in the near future to 35 countries, in part because of its merger with Dell.
