505.0. "Leblanc's been Scrooged" by AOSG::connor.zk3.dec.com::strobel () Wed Dec 20 1995 16:47

Got a disturbing phone call last night. Seems that the powers that in some 
areas can't manage their way out of a wet paper bag, so, with the end of 
the quarter upon us and probable spending problems, Chris LeBlanc's project 
got shuffled out of services and put to logistics. The bottom line is that 
Chris is out of a job (I suspect he's glad he busted hump nights and 
weekends) and so you won't see too many, if any, notes from him. Glad we 
gave the biga$$ bonuses to execs for being able to manage. Ha. Some things 
never change....

    so does that mean he's TFSO'd or just "idle"???

	Since Chris was a contractor, there's no tfso. I suspect the Logistics
folks would want to pick him up but given the foul taste he got from this 
experience, I don't think Digital's his first choice. This episode sadly reminds
me of how Phyllis K. found out, via fax, of being tfso'd.

    Great timing, I wonder who the scrooge was to do this so close to the
    holidays.  If the work went to logistics, maybe there is a chance for
    him to slide over too.  You can only hope.
    
    I'll give him a buzz later.

    the hard work but we dont need you around here anymore christmas bonus.

    be cool and at least you can chill for the holidays.

505.8*something to rage about*SEND::SLOANTell ME all that 'cha knowSat Dec 23 1995 13:4313
    
    This is disturbing news! I'm hoping if Chris is not working he can
    at still get out for a brew once in awhile now and expand his
    musical interests a bit (time to check out Phish).
    
    I'm sure what ever Chris does next he'll be successful at it. 
                  
    Have not  heard from Chris in here .. does that mean he's gone already?
    
    Bonne Chance Mr. Leblanc in any case.

505.9You can't get rid of an angry young manDELNI::DSMITHAnswers aplenty in the by & byTue Dec 26 1995 13:057
    
    After reading this I called Lablanc's house this morning to find out what 
    the deal was.  He wasn't there, but his Pop told me that the sour grape
    may be back working at NIO next week.

    Yes. The boy stopped by my house on Tues eve of last week and told 
    me of his sudden dismissal. On Weds eve he called and said he
    would very likely be working at NIO shortly. 
    (This is when I posted my nasty note about him. T'was a joke ya know!)
    
    I haven't talked to him since Xmas, so who knows. 
    But let's enjoy this peace and quiet while it lasts...

    just spoke with Mr Leblanc a little while ago.  He starts at NIO on
    2-Jan-1996.  Less than a 2 week sabatical.  Not bad.  
    
    He says hello

    The punk called me (again! UGH!) today with most excellent news.
    He's going to be in ACTON, not NIO, starting Tuesday of next year.
    It *is* turning out to be a joyous holiday season afterall.
