302.0. "Holiday benefits for Digital employees" by TLE::SAVAGE (Neil, @Spit Brook) Wed Oct 26 1988 12:41

    In Note 635.20 of the HUMAN::DIGITAL conference Geoff of Denmark
    Services Finance notes that DEC employees in Denmark "...get a duck and
    a few bottles of wine every Christmas."
    
    He points out that "Duck is the traditional Christmas Eve meal..."
    in Denmark.
    
    Do Digital employees in other Scandinavian countries get comparable
    holiday benefits?
    
    [FWIW: In the U.S. greater Maynard  and southern New Hampshire areas,
    we get frozen turkeys.]

    For Sweden :
    
    We used to get salmon and stuff like that. Last year we only got
    a watch (After 10 months there doesn't exist one of those clocks
    in the company that is still in working order (Nice gift!!!).
    
    The more people we get in Sweden , the less gifts we receive!
    (I doubt that we get anything this year...)
