Being a part of the corporate world we all are aware that today we are in a "Learning economy". If you are not abreast you are obsolete in a few months. This question would be in the mind of almost every ambitious employee, what does your organization do or should do for your professional development in both "on-the-job" and "off-the-job" areas? Most companies have written down policies on Employee Development and spend very little money or the time actually doing the Employee Development. However, I regard our company among best in the industry and in corporate world. We are enjoying a perfect balance of work-place and personal development.

Re: GARBAGE

1 year, 6 days after I ordered a $1000 Dell laptop, the harddrive
began failing.. It was difficult to find a tech support
number, and when I called I was kindly told that my warranty was out
of service even though I technically had received the computer LESS
than a year ago, as it took a few weeks to ship to me. I paid over
$1000 for this computer and expected it to last me at least 3 years.
my lab group after this experience I've had with Dell's inferior
quality. I've tried to contact an actual person to discuss
perhaps getting this computer repaired, but to no avail. My Dell is
going in the trash.I contacted your customer service and got a "your feedback is important" form letter along with a contact number for technical support that charges because the warranty is up. I shouldn't have to pay money for a computer that broke less than a year after I received it. My Toshiba I purchased before my Dell ran perfectly for four years, even though it was heavily used. It was still working perfectly the day I sold it, when I bought my new $1000 Dell. I'm taking my business and my research groups' business back to Toshiba unless I can get my computer fixed somehow on your dime. The quality and customer service I've experienced at Dell are similar to what I would have expected from Acer, but at least they charge 1/3 less for their products.

At the bare minimum I'd appreciate a replacement harddrive. I've

It must be you! I've had no problem reaching a Dell tech support person live on the phone and via e-mail even though my laptop is beyond warranty.

Recent Layoff Tells/Reviews

1900 people have been laid off
about 2 months ago

It is true that Dell is laying off all IT contractors. They also paused many projects. I am one of the affected. I just came to know the number of head cuts may be around 2000 by the end of next session. They have not made a formal release, but it sounds like there will be more in the coming days. Dell has already laid off 1900 workers in Ireland and the production has moved to Poland.
