Michael Dell Steps Down as CEO

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the corporate-musical-chairs dept.

A whole lot of readers made sure we knew that Michael Dell is calling it quits as CEO of Dell, and has named Kevin Rollins, the current president and chief operating officer of Dell, as his successor. Rollins will retain the title of president, but Michael Dell hasn't left completely. He's still planning on sticking around as chairman of the board.

    First Michael Eisner, now Michael Dell.... Next week, maybe the Darls will go (just a thought...)

    " but Michael Dell hasn't left completely. He's still planning on sticking around as chairman of the board."

    In other words, he's going to keep getting a paycheck but will no longer work for it. To pay for this, Dell will probably have to announce more layoffs or the shifting of jobs overseas but that's okay, so long as somebody's stock options go up.
