Dell

The information technology services company Dell has seen better days. The company, which in 2007 redesigned their infrastructure to be "globally organized" as opposed to their previous regional management system. But since 2006, Dell's net revenue has decreased by 5.71% from 55.788 billion dollars in 2006 to 52.902 billion in 2010. The real drop happened between 2009 and 2010, when revenue dropped from 61.33 billion, a 13.74% drop.
Mr.Dell hasn't seen a change in his 950 thousand dollar salary since 2008, and even participated with a few other top executives in working 5 unpaid days, which saved the company $79,389. According to the proxy report, there were no bonuses or other fun things to contribute the executives' income.

Looks like Dell ain't doin' so well.

  1. Very good. a couple things: numbers in journalism are generally written like this: $50 million. So, a number sign and no 'dollars' Also, whenever you do a percentage make sure to give both numbers you're comparing.
