    Default Never work for dell

    Just to let you all know. Right so i left my good old warehouse computer repair job, fixing cash registers P.O.S terminals pc's CRT's lcds and everything inbetween you got a couple broke ones ill see how many good ones i can assemble out of them style. I'm the guy that Refurbishes equipment for retailers.

    Anyways dell called me (resume on monster) and said hey we'll pay you 22.75$ an hour to be one of our level three support techs. Right so i Farkin hate customer support it's one bitch ass after another but 22.75 an hour can't shake a stick at that considering it was 6 bucks more an hour. So i did it went through there pansy ass training course. Yea I sure did shoot that dell guy out of the sky a couple times with some smart ass remarks about the GX optiplex series. anyways so that took about 2 weeks of me sleeping and filling out paperwork. so i get to the customer support center and what do you know i am surrounded by some of the dumbest mofo's I've ever seen. Swear some of them had a retard shield between there eyes and brain. anyways i kept my mouth shut and did my job, got alot of thank yous along the way. but mostly your a piece of crap.


    So 4 months roll by and the words "lay off" comes around. whadda you know I'm laid off along with 1/4 of the building. Not even a notice really got a two day notice.


    So anyways I'm back at my old job making the same scrilla as before and I love it. No bosses very little customer support and the people that call have respect for me. Sure its in a giant warehouse and its cold in the winter hot in the summer (can't HVAC 55,000 sq feet) but come on. Nothing is funner then sword fighting with two broken laptops.

    Pentium 1's also make excellent ninja stars.

    oh yea and I get to drive a fork lift around like a crazy sob.

    So bottom line don't work for dell cause they really could give two ****s and a **** about you. there just out to take care of the suits.

    I sure wouldn't turn down $16.75 an hour to drive around a forklift and rebuild computer terminals.

    Speaking of, you went from repairing POS systems, to doing tech support for POS systems, and now you're back to working on POS systems?

    (heh, heh)

    Anyway, good to know. The job you've got now sounds perfect!

    Glad I'm not the only one who giggles upon hearing "point of sale".

    Well Twigs I can can say I know exactly how you feel. I worked for Dell for 5 years. I came into work on a monday and by the next monday I was gone as they closed the call center down. So I like you was out of a job and started working at T-Mobile. It sucked just as bad. Also while working at dell I did laptop support also and got a laugh at least 10 times a day. The return to depot contract that most people got with the laptops was provided by a 3rd party company. Here is the kicker. The companies name was Solectron. In the tool we used to look at the warranty they had it showed in bright red letters SOL. First time I seen it I almost peed myself. anywho, glad you found another job and are happy where you are.
