| Well I'm really glad to see that the REALLY important issues of the
plants at MKO are being attended to while the far less important issues
of:
- Making sure customers can easily reach DEC
- Making sure our administrative systems work
- Being honest about the general morale problem
- etc
are being ignored.
Anybody for $20 per share?

If the dearth of any information or hype on the subject is
any indication....well, you get the idea.

| RE: .8
Good idea, but totally unworkable.
You see, the bushes in front of MKO1 (actually, the former bushes) took
up the entire space in the center of the turnaround area near the main
entrance. Changing the DEC bushes into DIGITAL bushes would have meant
losing the roadway. Not good.
I used to enjoy watching the grounds crew taking care of those bushes
(I had an office which looked out toward the main entrance). They were
very carefully tended. Pruned in the summer (to make sure DEC was not
getting too bushy). Tied up in the winter (bondage?) Wonder what will
take the place of those bushes?

Hell, why not. I mean they've been chopping people for the past
couple of years, why not chop the bushes too, in fact why don't they
just go ahead and chop down all the trees too. Chop, Chop Chop! Chop
everything.
Hummmm, I sound like a disgruntled Atlanta Brave fan or something.....

| 2719.11 | April fools day | ICS::CROUCH | Try CyberSurfing the Web on NCSA Mosaic | Tue Oct 19 1993 10:42 | 14 |
| Ah, but the chopping of people will continue. Since this ship
is not turning around the wood will fall, green as well as dead.
We'll lose 20-30% of the employee population by April fools day.
Just a guess, not a rumor. Please don't start a rumor with this
guess. I have another guess that in 3 - 5 years if we are still in
business we'll have a thousand or so people building and supporting
the chip business and another thousand or so technowizbangdweebs
who have no life but to work 7 days a week 365 days a year and act
as modern day vagabonds circling the globe wherever needed. Of
course the multitudes of VP's will still exist, can't lose them now.
The rest of us will be employed elsewhere.

| Three more weeks and this "bush" will be cut too, and half of the
"plant" from which this "bush" is being cut is itself being
transplanted in Mehico.

I thought these bushes were cut because they had been beat to death
by sales looking for customers? You know how they go out and "beat the
bushes". (Probably didn't need an explanation but with so many people
that have left I just don't know what level those of us who are still
here can communicate on... 8^)
