Dell complaints

[bsujerry]

I was hired with the knowledge that I had shoulder surgery weeks after training... Well, I had my surgery and was out about 1.5 months...

I returned and caught-up with no problem. Was getting payout and doing well, until one day a team L2 asked me to move a computer off my desk to another because he had a meeting to go to... Well, I did it but re-injured my shoulder.

I saw the "Dell Doctor" after days of calling in because I had to see my Doctor in another state (where I had the specialized surgery) first...

I have to admit I had missed a number of days, but I was never written up, nor what is it even discussed as an issue by anyone from Dell...

Well, during days off from calling-in, I left my manager messages on her voicemail to call me at home to discuss my options & that I would stop calling CCOD.

Days had gone by and I get a call from my manager asking me if I quit. I advised "no" and she claims to have never received my messages, that her voicemail had been having problems.

She advises she needs talk to HR and would call back. I end up talking to HR manager of Twin and was told I could return when my shoulder heals so I wouldn't miss work, and was encouraged that this was not a termination but an "agreement of seperation" per her, due to current physical limitations..

Well, I hear a training class opens up, I go to re-apply as directed by the HR manager had once told me - and guess what? One of the HR interviewers tells me I was terminated because of abandonment and am not eligible for re-hire. I advised her about my discussion with the HR manager before I left and she leaves and returns claiming that the class had just been filled.

Later that day, and the next, I find from employees that after I left, people that were interviewed after I had left that day were hired for the training class that I was told was full...

Wow, did I get get royally flushed by DELL.

I'm still considering if I should file a suit against Dell or not. But, the only thing holding me back is that I don't know if I want to work for them again... However, I don't want the bad recommendation based on them covering their assetts..

What do you all think???

I think you should just say to hell with Dell anyway... If your shafted like that at the beginning... do you think that they will care about you once your hired...

spherion employees get treated like SHIT... worse than the blue badged employees

Man that is typical....but I have to agree w/Gris, why put yourself out for a company that isn't going to give a sh%* about it's empoyees one way or the other. You might want to speak w/an attorney anyway, if for no other reason than to clear your good name. We all wish you the best!

I used to call in to the number on the floor as well as my supervisor in the cube.
I now email from home to have it in writing.
