DELL APCC Penang will not observe 26th August 2008 as public holiday, though it has been announced by Lim Guan Eng (Penang’s Chief Minister) to be a public holiday for Penang state.

Another reason why you should not consider DELL APCC Penang as your ideal workplace -

Please be advised that August 26th is a NORMAL working day for Dell, Penang. However employees who are Registered Voters in the Permatang Pauh By election will be given the day off to cast their votes.

Thank You

This is an employee exploitation by MNC (multi national corporate) factory on its employees, after DELL APCC has abolish the ESPP (employee staff purchase) and only grant stock option to those in Director level, no more OT claim (it’s very tough to get approval), then what is left ? not to mention the shitty increment 2-3%.

The computer industry is dead, it’s no longer growing and margin is pittyful, DELL will just be another Wal-Mart in the making, haven’t heard enough of how Wal-Mart exploiting their employees ? so if given a choice, go find other greener pasture, but if no body want you, then just stuck in DELL APCC and sell insurance, direct selling, unit trusts to supplement your income, heard that DELL APCC2 will outsource their manufacturing plant to third party by next year, will it means more layoffs is on the way ?
