so today Dell inc just gave the walking papers to the entire dell roseburg oregon site and is shutting the center down

350 people unemployed including 10 of the last few american tech support representitives


lots of people were crying and getting emotional but for me compaired to dealing with my dad having terminal brain cancer a few months before this was a non event

well i stayed in this area because i kind of liked the job so now that i have literally no reason to stay in oregon i guess im LFG anywhere

One door closes, another opens.

Sorry for the lost job, that does suck indeed.

I'd suggest software dev as they're always in demand (regardless of what lyion may say). Check the papers and monster, there is always a good listing for coders.

Sorry to hear that Damm.

Unfortunately that is the plight of the American IT worker. It's why I have a goal of being self employed in the near future.

Best of luck in the yob hunt.

we all know how hard yobs are to get

That sucks man, where are in you in Oregon I'll be up there in two weeks for some srs shenanigans

LFG

let's just hope you aren't a ranger....


JK. That really sucks man. sorry.

sorry to hear, Damm =( I'll keep my fingers crossed for you to find something better.

Man, that sucks.

Sorry to hear about your job loss, man, but after the way Dell handled my company's PC/laptop rollout, the rest of Dell shutting down due to incompetence can't be far behind.

I use Dell as a pusher or dealer I guess, I only buy from them, IMO their consulting arm isn't much better than ASS.

We started moving away from Dell last year and have been using HP for our servers and desktop/laptops. You can blame us directly for your layoff... Sorry

and us.

what is funny is the promise that they were going to close some of the outsourcers and bring some support back to america . they sent 2 of my fellow techs to the phillipines (i was asked but my dad decided to get cancer) to train people to do our jobs and 3 days after they came back poof tier two tech support is outsourced again

Steal everything that isn't nailed down before you go.

Are they at least giving you a decent severance package? Look at the bright side...this is an opportunity for you and you very well may find a more rewarding job elsewhere. Besides...Oregon..eww.

Oregon..eww? Oregon is beautiful. It's just too bad that the once great city of Portland got taken over by commie pinko perverts years ago, and is now politically, a nightmare of a place.

Oh come on, it's awesome!!

I went skiing once at Mt. Hood. That area is fuckin beautiful

I cant wait to be in portland next week... thinking bout moving there first of the year ( give or take )

Maybe if people from the area want to all get together we could go to Montage or something?

im down, week from Sat we are throwing a party for a friend of a friend. Other than that 5 days, no plans other than walking around and looking at the different areas. Oh and looking for cute girls.

...the whole "Oregon...ewww" thing is sort of an inside joke.

I've only been through Oregon once.. and it was really gorgeous. The only thing I remember about it other than the scenery though... was that you weren't allowed to pump your own gas! Was the most bizarre thing I ever saw. full service everywhere, no self service >.<

Exactly! Not being allowed to pump your own gas was a very strange experience...
