I feel that marketing and support just don't scale at the same demand as R&D. Someone marketing or doing support for let's say 10 products can probably also market 10 new products. The development of those products, though, usually requires many individuals who work on just that single product. So when you have two companies merging with many products, you will have redundancies in some sectors, but not in others. I don't think these people are being let go so that their positions can be filled by cheaper labor, I think these positions just no longer exist. Hence "overlapping positions".
As I said in another post, I work for a company that is a part of the new Dell Technologies umbrella. Before the Dell / EMC merger, our company was apart of EMC. We are currently hiring for software engineers, designers, product managers, and sales people across all of our US offices, as well as most international ones. Not so much right now for positions that aren't as product related. Here's the careers page as evidence: https://pivotal.io/careers (mods, I can take this down if it comes across as soliciting)
I feel like another accurate title for that article could be:
Rumor: Dell Fires 3000 US Employees. Fact: Has hired 10,000+ employees over last two years, not all domestic hires
