YAY!!! Dell are about to save Limerick.... (Secretly)

Raiser

Anyone know the specifics? Also did the Polish operation fail miserably as some have hinted?

- The other theory is that they simply want to relocate out of Europe and into Asia so they can pay People less and treat them worse......

I have heard rumours of this over the last week or two but anyone i have asked who are still there say there is nothing in the pipeline.

Dell are hiring for professional positions like Tech Support and other IT departments. There may be other departments but I don't know.

My father has been interviewing a few this week for his own department in Dell.

Basically if you see a job advertised that says EMEA it could be Dell or then again it could be Apple.

Dell are using recruitment agents as I spoke to an agent and somehow the conversation go onto Dell and he said they were looking but were very strict on what the recruitment agents could say and advertise because they do not want people running around the place saying "Dell are hiring everybody, the city is saved".

I appreciate the irony of this thread.

Dell are rehiring 50staff in dublin and 50 in limerick

The polish plant is now being run by Foxconn a chinese company,

It was reported recently that companies are now moving from china to south east Asia as it is cheaper,

its meant to cost 50,000e to keep an irish worker per yr

20,000e for a polish worker per yr

and 5,000e for a chinese worker per yr

so it must be a weeks Irish wages to keep some of the cheaper/poorer countries

Ya, it's true all right, most of the remaining Dell departments are hiring with gusto. Hurrah, the city is saved!

"Rehiring" as in ringing up Joe Bloggs and offering him his old job back - or simply increasing the headcount by 50 per Site?

Re. Foxconn, is that incidental info? ie. have Dell any interest in this operation? Presumably not.

Some day the Chinese will take over the World and everything will be constructed of mass produced, toxic, poorly moulded plastic.

Geely which is a chinese company now owns Volvo so if Toyota is anything to go by Volvo's will not be the safest cars to buy.

They do nice food though.

No, Im sure Dell will put them through their paces in the interview by getting them to assemble and disassemble water sprinklers like they did in EMF3 interviews. :rolleyes:

Just so you all know its not just the lay people working on the floor whom are losing their jobs.

Gary Kennedy was even made redundant recently. Nobody is immune. Gary Kennedy was previously with Modus Media before he joined Dell back in..................................2000/2001 I think.

billy the squid

the same thing happened in Cork with apple. now they employ more people than they did when it was a manufacturing facility.

just the normal run of things in a multinational.

any new hires will be IT or customer care people.

Could be any company EMEA stands for "Europe Middle East & Africa". sets it aside from a American operation and Austraiaisa.

EMEA is something which Dell and Apple actively advertise on their job specs. There are not very many companies who specialise in EMEA out of this country, let alone this city.

Not sure if you should be naming individuals as regards job losses.
Nobody named you when you lost your job.
A little compassion wouldn't go astray.

Jeez, Chill out. Compassion? Imagine the exit bonus he received? Compassion. :rolleyes:

His redundancy was even noted on RTE.

My redundancy was actually noted on LinkedIn and the company website.

If you want to know the above information go back in time and listen to RTE or listen to the coversation between my father and failing that get a podcast. (Podcasts of conversations between my father and I do not exist mind).

As a senior member of management then his wages and bonus's are readily available on the internet as it is a floated company.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

If you are asking me about the EMEA comment then I said "Specialise in EMEA".

No.
Please qualify your comments though as they seem incorrect.
You need to be accurate if you're posting information like this on the internet.
If you're not then expect to be corrected.

i think what berty was trying and as i see did say was that if you see a job advertised within IT in limerick at the moment, during a time when most companies are letting staff go and the ad has EMEA beside it there is a high probability its is a dell job on offer.. Which id agree with..

True but the Internet is not something where you can come on, like a previous poster, and DEMAND FACTS FACTS FACTS. Mine is very obviously one of heresay and stuff I saw on the internet. (Coversation with my father about Dell and recruitment agents about Dell)

Re: Bonus and how much people receive on redundancy. Its public knowledge how many weeks Dell Employees receive and because he is senior management it is known how much he earns and exit bonus's again are public knowledge because they are floated. I will not be mentioning it here because people have an issue with it. I received 3 PMs on the matter. You know who you are.

I even had somebody ask me through pm(PM #4) which recruitment agent told me this because he is looking for a job. If this thread can shed some light on the job opportunities, if any, then it serves a small purpose.

I worked some years ago for company and they used EMEA on their job advertising - light engineering type business, small quiet american company with bases in EMEA, been in Raheen for about 25 yrs. Company still there and while not recruiting at the moment (afaik) its terminology too.
