Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

I'm betting it's hopkinton. There's a dude there that constantly smells like he crapped his pants. I'm not talking once in awhile, I'm talking 20+ times a day.

While it's not ideal, you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs.

Look up "personal wellness time" on the HR site. In the US (depending on state), you are given up to 80 hours based on number of hours worked. This is in addition to vacation time. Just pointing out that while some people may want to sc--w the man by coming in sick, your coworkers don't deserve to get sick because you're pi---d off at Dell.

I'm seriously thinking about donating some activated charcoal chair cushions. Somebody has horrendous gas and it's making me gag. I'm about to start wearing an N95 mask pre soaked in febreeze. Return to Odor

"Dell provides a separate bank of leave time specifically for sick leave/jury duty/professional development, etc"

What's the secret cheat code to access this? Or does ISG not have access? Everyone on my team gets exactly 6 personal wellness (sick) days and 15 vacation days per year. Yes there is a separate bank for jury duty and bereavement leave, but my manager has to get approval from his manager before letting anyone use it. I was put on a PIP end of last year because I had run out of paid leave time and was hospitalized for 5 days with bacterial pneumonia. Manager and HR didn't care about documentation from the hospital stating I was unable to work. I'll probably get canned end of this month since the goals set forth in my PIP are beyond unrealistic.

For the people saying they are going to go into the office sick because they don't want to waste their PTO - you realize that Dell provides a separate bank of leave time specifically for sick leave/jury duty/professional development, etc., right? You don't have to waste your PTO on sick days.

But you see, this is how we fight back. Passive aggressively make the office as miserable for everyone else as possible.

Good luck to you all LMAO

I’ll be drumming my fingers on my desk, snapping my gum, belching, tooting, singing off key, brushing my hair and dry brushing my teeth, picking my nose, trimming my nose and ear hair while in the office. Oh wait, I forgot to mention I’ll be talking to myself too!

I'd rather be sick at work than use my PTO for a cold Sorry not sorry, I have better things to do with my PTO.

You think I care at all about your preferences? Either deal with it or find another place to be.

Wow. You should just stay home.

"(20) If you’re sick, stay home, no one wants your germs."

Sorry, but it was made clear to me that being in the office is now a critical part of performance evaluations. I'll be in unless I am so sick that I cannot physically sit up long enough to drive in. Remember though I don't make the rules I just have to follow them.

Good god! What kind of offices do you have over there?!

LOL . You guys arent being "inclusive"

Complain about not having child care instead of using protection

And please…wait until the bathroom is clear before you let your shart loose.

Open office floor plan and loud gum chewing and snapping is a recipe for violence.

20. No gum snapping
21. No pen clicking

In a team building effort dell will implement lunch fridays and beer bashes.

Only twist is it will take on a potluck form: employees are expected to provide the food and beer.

30. Let's play a guessing game - I stuck something on your desk down my pants and put it back. Which object? Which desk? Which location? Who's getting the pink eye?!

You mentioned no fish in the microwave, same goes for scrambled eggs. Those things can turn into microwave bombs if they are not properly supervised.

Oh, please, by all means, leave your dirty dishes in the sink—your coworkers just love being your unpaid cleaning crew.

And never tell anyone it's a 'case of the mondays.'
dell sux every day. It's not a case of the mondays, azzwhipe

If you spill something, clean it up, don’t leave it for someone else.

Personal phone calls should be kept short and quiet, no one needs to hear your drama.

The office fridge is not your personal long-term storage, throw out old food.

I always got a kick out of the people who would take their conference calls into the bathroom stalls. I can understand, wanting to get away from your desk, and maybe the noise of your conversation can help drown out my personal noises on the pot, but leave that outside.

20. (20) If you’re sick, stay home, no one wants your germs.
