<<One article said DELL might do 22% this earnings period. That, plus a deceleration to sub 30% growth just might be a kiss of death to dell.>>> Lets compute how Dell could do a 22% revenue growth Jan 1999 24,400 employees Jan 2000 36,500 emplyees ( a 49.95% increase or 12,100) I would assume the original 24,400 perform a bit more efficiently due to experience and that less overtime/sundays are reqd but will make no allowance for that.... The 12,100 newbies would have to perform at 44% of normal output for a full year, OR it could be said that 2.27 newbies are required to produce one 'normal' workers output. Since 3500 of those newbies are working at a state- of -the art plant(and other areas) in Nashville having twice the assembly speed of other plants, my suggestion is that the yokel talking about 22% should stay out of Nashville.
