Now Dell salespeople must be onsite five days a week

Diesel car

I work for Dell, I work from home most of the times except when I am required to visit customers. In Dell we have to attend a lot of presentations related to the green economy and how this is important to Dell and the society. If I am forced to go back to the office to attend Team s meetings and send Outlook mails, which can be easily done from home, I will sell my hybrid car and buy a 1990 Diesel car. Make sure I will generate that cloud of black smoke in front of the Dell reception every day when I leave at 5pm (sharp)

Automakers continue to see chip-supply carnage as vendors talk of sales pain

Jeasus, it reminds of Fiat in the 70's when some workers went on strike and many FIAT 132 cars were delivered to dealers with no tank at all

Can't sell a HP Touchpad

My brother is a very lucky guy. They had a raft in a local megastore in Milan and guess what he won one of these HP Touchpads the lucky thing. He was happy at start but didn't know what to do with it since he has an iPad. He put it up on E-bay for sale at a start price of 80€, He ran the auction 3 times and didn't received one offer. I guess if he had won a iPad and put it up for 80€ me and him would have already been out for a nice meal, but with the HP pad we are getting very hungry.

HP sues Oracle over Itanic withdrawal

No gain for employees

We keep on getting mails from the top brass about this lawsuit. We had to do a outlook rule to automatically delete them. If HP loses the lawsuit, the top brass will quickly try to recoup the money by cutting more benefits to the employees, like pay cuts or firing more people. If HP wins the lawsuit of course the millions will only be redistributed to a very little selected group of senior managers, as it has been in HP for the last 5 or 6 years. So HP general staff can't care less....just a bit worried of more cuts and redundancies if HP loses
