Having six weeks' heads-up didn't make losing their jobs any easier to take for about 400 local Dell Inc. employees.
The employees worked their last day at the desktop-assembly plant in Winston-Salem, doing mostly paperwork for severance packages.
The number is about 200 fewer than Dell's initial projection when it announced the plant closing on Oct. 7. Dell officials declined to comment on why the initial job cuts were lower than projected.
Altogether, 905 Dell employees will be out of work when the plant shutdown is completed between Jan. 20 and Jan. 31 — nearly four years and four months after the 750,000-square-foot plant opened with great fanfare and promise in October 2005.
