Yep. Further proof that the EOY scales are tipped in an unfair way. Unattainable assets to those that will never see them unless you sell out, or contrive some fancy way to explain shortfalls in manufacturing.

Techs get screwed.

Manufacturers get screwed.

Sales rarely does, but happens from time to time.

Looks to me like the bottom of the barrel are the only ones raking a nice dividend.

Dells follow through sux.When they designed the Viper line it was suppoed to have burn racks over the build cells.What they didn't know was the building was built on a sinkhole.The floor would not hold hold the weight so they cut the burn racks by half.We never could run more than 75%.Then they put in a bypass on the elevator so we load them manualy,thing was we had to push'em to other end of the plant.We'd have 8 builders pushing stackers and the line would still back up.North Carolina these are the geniuses you work for.Dell never was known as a tech company.

Hey.... What are they gonna do in NC about the schedules. We are hearing rumors about doing away with the AWS shift. Then I heard that they are gonna have some type of A,B and C shifts..... What the hell is that!!! When are they planning on telling us?? The day before??? I find it hard to believe that this company doesn't know what they are gonna do from one day to the next. Mad

Whats up guys? Well it did take me about 16 months but I did find the sight. While I'm on vacation none the less. Even when I'm 600 miles from that place I can't get it out of my head.

Look-the benefits are great but everything and I mean everything else sucks. The managers blow my mind. Everytime they talk I try to ignore. What's the point of listening to something that is going to be changed in a few mins. None of these clowns are ever on the same page!! It amazes me. Out of all the big and small places I've worked nothing compares to these idiots. And I have to say I can't stand all the time we waste on a bunch B.S. training that relates to nothing on my level. Heard about these certifications they're handing out? What a joke!!! It looks like a h.s. diploma except this piece of garbage is worthless. At first it was supposed to raise on the pay scale and then they said well no it just means your able to do all your tasks and you know what f them all!! But hey at least some nights we get out early and I'm within 10 mins to a bunch of bars so I can get plastered and try to forget about how much this place bugs me. NC weather is good though! Very Happy

Well, it's funny how everything I read here is so true and makes me laugh. If you are considering taking a position with Dell at the Winston-Salem facility, you should take a tour first. It's a standing position with two breaks per day. You get a twenty minute break and a forty minute break in a 9 and half hour shift. 5a.m.-3p.m. You'll spend 15 minutes per day waiting in line to get through the metal detectors and security. That's right..every time you leave, Dell want's to make sure you didn't steal anything. Your forty minute lunch is cut to half hour. You'll spend 5-7 minutes getting out at the end of the day behind a few hundred people. As for working overtime, managment will have you in on Sunday ( any shift they prefer) with little notice. Actually, the practice is to tell employees EVERY week there is overtime. Half the time you won't even have to work. So, don't plan on having a life at Dell. Your ON CALL for eleven bucks per hour. WHAT A JOKE ! In fact, I was hired for second shift and I was put on first shift for three months. FK up..huh. No respect. Also, they will work you below forty hours...they don't care about your finances just getting their work done. Disgruntled employees surround you. It's a miserable place to work. Don't get caught leaning or resting your feet. You'll be fired. Don't call in sick. You'll be fired. My advice to Dell, pack your production up and move it to China. We don't want you here. I'm going to buy an HP.

Wait for the Christmas buying season, you will really love to work at WS1 (NOT Exclamation

). The song and dance schedule goes like this. People are scheduled to work 12 hour shifts beginning the Sunday after Thanksgiving and you keep working these shifts 7 days a week until Christmas Eve (if you are lucky. I have seen people "volunteering" to work Christmas Eve before).

TMC, EG1 and AM1 have been doing these kinds of shifts for years now. At least this year TMC will not have this kind of luck, the last day for the people there is the November 26th.

Now that you know what will be happening in a couple of weeks. If you do not find this appealing, then I suggest you save what's left of your health (both physical and mental) and get out of there. Oh and pass the word about this site on to everyone at WS1 (but do it discretely because if DHell management finds out about you posting here, you will be terminated very quickly), we always appreciate new information (rumors, daily happenings, etc.) from other parts of the DHell family.
