2920.0. "Q3 Round Starting" by FHOHUB::JAMBE::JAMBE (Lemmings are Born Leaders!) Mon Feb 28 1994 13:49

TSFO's - let the games begin!

Re: previous on Friday's 1 1/2 point stock rise.


It's possible the rise was not due to the Video announcement but news of the 
next round of TSFO's starting.  Calls to people within the U.S. MCS organization 
started Friday afternoon (2/25/94) and are continuing this morning.

2920.1When ? Where ? Who ?CIM2NI::GRAVELFrancis GravelTue Mar 01 1994 01:186
    Anyone have an idea of which areas in the company are going to be hit
    this time ?  I'm not expecting to get tapped, but I've been tapped in the
    past so who knows.  Also, is this TFSO at all voluntary i.e. can
    someone say "yo, over here!" and *actually* leave voluntarily ?

2920.2"yo, get that guy over there!"GLDOA::MCMULLENTue Mar 01 1994 02:1711
    Re: -1
    
    All the reductions I'm aware of at this time are involuntary.  Nobody
    said "yo, over here!"
    
    These cuts are impacting U.S. MCS Programs Group, Complex Solutions/MSS
    and more.  These groups supported the delivery districts in various
    ways.  Quite a few were project management resources use to define and
    delivery complex delivery solutions to our large distributed accounts.
2920.3Rumors onlyMEMIT::MMCCALLIONTue Mar 01 1994 17:335
    I heard NRO2 got hit.  Last known, PC&S was the only Digital owned
    dept. still in that bldg.  One lone group in NR5. 
    
    Also heard this noontime, MIll sold, must be cleared out by THIS July. 
    Anyone else heard this one?
2920.4MANTHN::EDDI live in a suitcase...Tue Mar 01 1994 18:093
    There's at least one other group in NRO2, IM&T Event Support.

2920.5People moving back into the MillTOLKIN::JBROWNTue Mar 01 1994 18:3212
    re:  .3
    
    My friend just got another position within Digital a month ago and he
    (with his entire new group) have just been moved BACK into the Mill,
    along with a few other groups with no 'leave date'.  He talked to
    Security at the Mill (not a great source. mind you, but...) and they
    confirmed that some of the buildings were filling back up with new
    groups.  Doesn't make any sense to me but maybe it's not really a
    done deal?
    
    For what it's worth,

2920.8"Thank goodness for the rumour mill"BWICHD::SILLIKERCrocodile sandwich-make it snappyTue Mar 08 1994 18:5017
    Had dinner a week ago with a friend of my at NRO, a contract person. 
    In short, NRO has been sold, some parts of it to Kodak, who will
    continue to run those businesses, and stay at the building, so I hear
    it.  The LOS, catalogue outfit, stationary supplies, IMPACT, whatever,
    are being sold to Moore Busines Forms located in Bridgewater, MA, some
    70 miles away.  As I hear it, and I stress that this is what I remember
    of a conversation over coffee and dinner, all DEC employees have until
    April 29th or so to find something internally, or get some TFSO
    package.  I believe Kodak has bought the New England Mailroom, the
    Repro outfit and the Copy Centre...  Meetings with all employees have
    been held, there was more, but not exactly sure how much of it I can
    publish...  obviously, I have heard nothing through "official" spin
    channels...  and I am not sure whether or not Digital employees will
    have some opportunity to work for the new vendors or not...  gotta be
    careful here...
    
    FWIW
