Dell complaints

Rocke_T_Sinetist

Media knows what goes on inside Dell. Customers contact them, employees contact them, and they read this site. They are under editorial restraint not to print what one person or a few people say. That level of restraint is just as valid in media as it is in an engineering laboratory.

One instance of something is not a reportable event, but raises awareness. Several concurring instances is cause to look closer. When everybody reports the same thing, it is a strong trend.

Even though a collection of individual reports is not 'news' (because the number of people NOT reporting is not quantifiable), a body of evidence piques the effort of journalists to report in favor of the individuals who DO report.

So if you have personal observations about dealing with Dell, as a customer or an employee, posting them on this site definitely has an impact. Even though you might not see it in headlines, right away.

If you live in Austin/Round Rock contact Dan Zehr at the Austin American Statesman.

dzehr@statesman.com

He wants to write a story about the layoffs but hears nothing but rumors. Dell won't talk to him because it's apparently not newsworthy when Dell HQ laysoff only 40-50 at a time.

If you have a press representative in Ireland then ask him/her to PM me, I have a very juicy story that can be confirmed by up to 10 people who are still in Dell.

That’s an affirmative but let me sit on it for 3 more days. The 29th is the end of the consultation period and I’m gonna wait what they still have up their sleeve but I promise you shall receive an update as soon as I can safely provide one...
