Not a good week to be employed in tech. First Yahoo!, now Dell.

Dell Inc. is cutting more than 1,200 jobs, about 900 of them at a call center in Canada, as the computer maker reduces its sales and support work force.

It’s one of the biggest rounds of layoffs at Dell since May, when the company announced it would reduce its work force by 10%. The company had 88,500 employees worldwide at the end of October.

Dell said Thursday it would close its call center in Edmonton, Alberta - one of two such facilities in Canada - by the end of July. It will make smaller reductions in Oklahoma City and Ottawa, Ontario. Source: CNNMoney

We Say: Call center jobs. Two guesses as to where those jobs will end up going.
