828.2Wonder what the number will beTROOA::MCRAMMarshall Cram DTN 631-7162Tue May 17 1994 15:468
    
    I wonder why they are talking to the Nasuha Telegraph, rather than
    Canadian media or internally...I haven't seen anything here at all.   
    
    Now if we can just figure out what "spared the brunt of" translates to 
    here outside of the Kanata plant.
    
    
828.3Was in the StarTROOA::SOLEYPain in the butt CanadianTue May 17 1994 20:473
    The article in the Toronto Star after the media were shown the Palmer 
    DVN included comments from a Digital Canada spokesperson (can't remember 
    if it was Ron) along the same lines. 
828.4Heard this 2 weeks ago on Global NewsKAOOA::MACLELLANhardware..software..silverware..Wed May 18 1994 00:289
    I heard this story on the Global Nightly News two weekends ago. However, 
    since they didn't give a source for the information I just assumed it was
    another rumour.
    
    However.....we are continuing to transition employees - a couple of
    guys I know in Halifax got it 2 weeks ago.....it's tough to believe
    anything you hear or read anymore....

    "The Globe and Mail", Saturday, May 7, 1994:	page B3
    Title:    	"Digital to cut 20,000 jobs in restructuring"
    Sub-title:	"Canadian unit expected to escape axe"
    
    "....Digital Canada spokesman Ron Catcheside said the subsidiary, which
    employs 3,500 people is likely safe from any "significant" job cuts
    because it has been one of Digital's best-performing units lately."
    
    on the same page:
    Title:	"IBM reorganizing sales force"
    Sub-title:	"U.S. executive will exert more power over all marketing
    		 staff, analyst says"
    
    "...International Business Machine Corp. of Armonk, N.Y. told employees
    yesterday that it will organize its primary salespeople by industry
    rather than geography or products....
    ...Louis Gerstner, who became chief executive of IBM at the height of
    its financial trouble 13 months ago, decided against breaking the
    world's largest computer maker along the lines of its products..."
    
    Sounds familiar ?
