There's a Dell thread right?

Izzit?? Most likely it already ended up in the archive..

my fren from dell pg refer to dell as hell... too many internal politics...
i almost join dell... luckily i didn't...

My god sis used to work at Dell Bayan Lepas and she left the company as she felt tensed!

Working in dell is like having as much problem as having a dell pc / laptop.
Sorry I can't help myself to bash dell...my apologies to the dell lovers.

It is DELL really give bad impression to Malaysian worker ?

mm i thought they already have a center in cyberjaya, its up and running

mind to share salary and benefits working in DELL?

From what I heard that, it's tough to get into Dell. You need to go to a series of interviews or levels.

It is tough to get into Dell last time but now easy like peanut. My friend just join Dell a few months ago with 20% increment

Never try never know. Once you join, you know the pain!

yupp..
DELL offers more than 20% increment when u first join in..
my husband got 50% when he joined DELL last year..
but now, he is like this
haha...

yupp..this is true!!!

Ouch, luckily i didnt join.. you refering to Dell Cyberjaya right?

Doesn't matter dell cyberjaya or in bayan lepas...
As long you in dell then you will know...

yup..its still the same...

The only good thing about Dell is that u can claim OT

Wht post is ur hubby in .. i did try to apply but no reply
eventhough i hv >6 years experience in Manufacturing line ..

@harrychoo

I think DELL isn't the only company which pays you when you work OT.
Now most of the companies do that even the SME's

I heard from my friend too. She is also like now

Nope! I think only Dell do that. Most companies pay allowances but not OT. You can even claim OT if you work from home

^
My bad really..but isn't the word pay subjective?
How do you definite pay and allowance?

My current company pays/allowance RM8/hr if I work OT.
Is that consider pay or allowance?

no, u get me wrong.

i know a lot SME give OT. Even MNC but not all US MNC. Yes most of Jap MNC do give OT but not in US MNC. I only have few US MNC in my mind that give OT and also in a strict condition

^
Your saying that they pay you in USD?

I thought US MNC give you more leave instead of OT

I think that's allowance.

Leave and OT, any linkage ?

Most companies won't pay OT is just basic salary above certain threshold (RM2k or RM2.5k); not sure which is the exact figure.

Maybe he meant the company is compenstating that by giving more leaves instead of paying OT.

I got OT even though my basic is higher...

Well, I did condemn that not all companies didn't pay. It also depends on the nature of the job.

Correction there.. Even rich PDC engineers at Intel gets OT allowance.. sign..

seems like Intel is very generous in paying the employees hor

They're generous and they're cruel at the same time. You know what I meant.

How is the allowance looks like ?

care to elaborate ??? im seeing star wars

Generous meaning they can offer you a good salary and benefit package including your OT, allowance and etc.

Cruel meaning you have a pressure and tension working life and a risk of retrencement.

That's why i'm not working in Intel

Now I feel very luck for not working in Intel.

I rejected Intel offer 10 years ago

oh, seems like Intel is a terrible place to work but is it true politics in intel is overwhelming ?

Going OT already lor.
Its like dell, intel, having these political issues, I wonder whether other IT manufacturers like AMD, WD in m'sia having the same problem haha..

Most of them have it, as long as its run by ppl who did not achieve their position through skill and merit. Their only resort is to make others look bad so their mediocre performance will look better. It happens everywhere, even more so here in Malaysia since you can easily buy a degree or even get one from a so called prominent local Uni just by cheating the system.

It happen everywhere. It is normal

But your 老婆大人 is working with intel...



I'm not sure about that.. you wont see ppl playing politics within the team but it does happen at departments level. like layout vs design and etc,, here bomb there bomb what my friend in PDC told me.

She likes to work there. What to do!

Perhaps she's enjoying rather than suffering ... it's good that somebody indeed likes to work in Intel.

I think all of her colleagues in her dept like to work in Intel. No stress

Your wife works at non-technical department?

Non-technical and non-CPU dept! That's why less stress

As I predicted.
