Massive layoff at the Dell Call Center shocks employees

By Warren Wells


Dell Computer dropped a bomb Thursday morning, laying off all the employees at the Call Center in Roseburg .

During a meeting, employees were told their jobs were eliminated. They were told to take their personal items and leave.

The managers, some of whom also lost their jobs today, explained there would be a severance package for each employee, a Job Fair on Monday by FirstCall Resolution Call Center, resume' classes and counseling.

They also said there are some comparable jobs within the company at other locations if re-location was a possibility.

There were some tears and sobs as well as angry outbursts as those on duty left, citing they were told their jobs were safe as little as a month ago.

One employee heard about his lay-off on his honeymoon today and thought he was being 'punked'

. Others came in for later shifts only to find out their job was gone.

According to Dell liason Scott Stevens, 220 workers lost their jobs this morning.

Roseburg's Dell Call Center was considered one of the city's top five employers.

The company says this is part of a global reduction of 10 percent of their work force and wants to minimize the pain as much as possible.

Dell is donating 50 computers to Douglas County, 50 to the City of Roseburg and 100 to the Douglas County ESD.

What will happen to our thousands of under-employed workforce?
This is not only for Call Centers who outsourced DELL Product but all to other call centers.

I just hope our goverment are ready if just in case these things will happen...
but I doubt those lossers are very busy enough counting their stolen money from us. those retard politicians!

this has nothing to do with politicians. this is all about business. the bigger savings a company makes, the better it is for their business.

it's all about the money.

no matter how good Filipinos are in communicating in English, foreign companies won't blink and transfer their business right there and then to another country where the financial aspects are more favorable to them.

Filipino call center agents should start mapping-out a "fall back" scenario because this kind of job is not gonna be here for long.

almost all foreign as well as locally-owned companies pay our government in some form or fashion (except those tax evaders.. PAL.. achoooo...). BUT that is totally a different story, another topic for discussion.

never rely on a company, as there's no such thing as job security these days; just self marketability.
