This came straight from Michael Dell, per multiple conversations with directors and managers at Dell. He's probably trying to squeeze out all the old employees to replace them with cheaper people. There's no clear reasoning at all, which means it's underhanded bullshit or he's a moron.
Yeah I was wondering if it was an underhanded way to get rid of people without officially letting them go. Seems like a lot of time and money tracking people to do that though, so I really have to wonder if they've lost the plot, thus me leaning towards incompetence.
That all said, and to hedge my bets, I haven't seen their Financials. Maybe the verification is using cheap labour like YouTube review systems, for instance, or maybe they are really bloated.
