If a manager is not willing to cover the full cost of relocation, then
either 1) they are not interested in filling the position with the most
qualified person; or 2) the local talent pool is immense.

	The name of this game is "expense control", or "make your margins if 
you want a raise"! Relocation expenses hit the cost center's profit margins to 
the tune of $20K to $50K per move! The receiving manager will control this to 
the maximum. For instance, if he can move someone into a one year residency, 
and charge the customer a rate that will cover his relocation, AND make his 
margins, no problem! That is quite rare! Thus, the "negotiated" move. It is 
not unheard of for a losing manager, if his margin is well in hand to 
contribute to the "pot", like covering home sale expenses in the old location.

	Frankly, the last move I made with DEC was in 1977, and I was single, 
no house. I would be interested to hear the manager's name, via VAXMAIL, of 
course, and what job you were dicussing.

	I am the DPC for the Southeast District, by the way.

I'm guessing....

DPC = District Personnel ??????    (coordinator?)

	Sorry, I should have been more considerate. District Projects 
Consultant, or what used to be called District Consulting Coordinator. 
Actually the job is the same, just a new emphasis on Projects. I work for the 
SED SWS manager, Steve Bate.

the file is corrupted. This root note (#47) has almost no text, and
no author, reading it with Notes-11.

  The file isn't corrupted.  The base note was apparently deleted by the
  author, using VNOTES.

    When putting in a requisition with personnel for an open slot,what
    determines whether the collumn labeled "relocation available" is marked
    "yes" or "no"? (in vtx jobs_us) I realize the decision is that of the
    person making the req. but,what if any,guidelines does he/she follow?
    Are there any written rules?

If the Cost Center Manager wants to  take  the  hit  in overhead for relocation
costs - and can get approval from HIS management - , he may check off the "Y".

    Even women cc managers probably would, don't you think?

    That is in fact the only requirement:  that you have money in your
    budget sufficient to defray the cost, and that you be willing to
    encumber it for that purpose.
