-< Are we getting smaller? Not as small as you might think. >-
I believe that for today, June 23rd, 1994, as of 16:15 EDT, the number of
resigning VP's is leading the number of newly hired VP's, so we should be
getting smaller.

| This may not be related to -1's question, but...
Ziff (PC Week, PC Magazine, et al) is looking for a buyer. Seems the
young Ziffs aren't interested in running a publishing business.
|
| 3199.6 | He worked here before???? | MSDOA::SCRIVEN | | Fri Jun 24 1994 12:43 | 12 |
| OK... I'm confused (not surprised...)
Mr. Prokopis was executive VP of Ziff, previously, VP of Budgeting at
Digital....
Does this mean he worked here before, left and went to Ziff and is now
back?
If so, why/when did he leave.....???

Didn't he rise to prominence during the NMS (New Management System) era and
disappear when that fell by the wayside?

| I also heard that he once was a senior financial officer at Mostek.
This is where Palmer came from and probably the reason this guy is
back.

| 3199.10 | 240 slots open in GY | MUNICH::REIN | It's not Burgundy, it's Bordeaux!! | Fri Jun 24 1994 15:43 | 12 |
| Hallo,
here, in Germany we have about 240 open slots, but the new guys
are younger and cheaper,
About 420 people took their package this year, some 250 are on a
voluntary list, they want leave, when the get the package, and about
another 400 have to leave.... more to cut next month.
They look for young people for jobs like Microsoft-Hotline.

then..

| 3199.12 | It is happening everywhere!! | COUNT0::BELLCHAMBERS | | Tue Jun 28 1994 13:19 | 15 |
| Kam,
You may remember me, I was part of the UK Design Win group, we met several times
in Design Win training in the USA.
The UK Design Win team was demobbed about 4 years ago. The last remenants of the
team are leaving the company in the next week or so. I have just met a guy who
worked for Encore and has just been hired in as a Design Win technical sales
person. Additionally another couple of guys have been hired in as well.
So we are having another crack at the TOEM buisness and hiring in new people to
develop the business. Will wonders never cease. We seem to trying to resurect
the dead with new blood!

| 3199.13 | those were the good old days... | TENNIS::KAM | Kam USDS (714)261-4133 (DTN 535) IVO | Wed Jun 29 1994 00:29 | 10 |
| I don't recognize the name but I would the face. The guy from Encore -
is his name Bob Hessinger?
I'm NOT doing TOEM business anymore, I mainly concentrate on Digital's
Distributors, Resellers, and VARS. It's about time we get back into
that business and recruit and increase our eroding install base.
Regards,
kam

| 3199.14 | uh oh.. I digress.. | TEKVAX::KOPEC | I know what happens; I read the book. | Wed Jun 29 1994 11:13 | 8 |
| Bob Hessinger! Haven't heard that name for a *long* time!
I worked with him, oh, maybe 11 years ago at Encore...
(he was actually pretty good..)
Back to our regularly scheduled program..
