384.0. "Fare the well!!" by LEDS::HINE () Mon Dec 13 1993 20:40

    Not quite goodbye yet but I'm prepared for the worst!!
    Anyone ever hear of that thing called the Marketing Development
    Program?? It's one of those rotational programs used to develop
    marketing professionals to improve Digitals chances of success in
    the future.  Well Ed Lucente cancelled it, and I'm in it.
    Currently seeking employment.  As bad as the company has treated me,
    I think I'd like to stay.  Looking for Product Marketing positions
    in high energy, way cool engineering groups! Any takers??  Hopefully
    this is not the Last Waltz but if it is, I wish you all luck, and
    I'll continue to wear my DEChead T-shirt with pride.  It was really
    important to me to work for a company whose culture allowed for the
    the interaction we've shared over the net.  I'd like to think that even
    if I leave, my new company will have an internet node and we may meet
    again cyber surfing on a Friday afternoon.
    
    best wishes,
    Jeff

    Yeah, Digital is known to suck at marketing.  Makes sense to can a
    program like this.  Especially a program that could help Digital in
    it's marketing area.   
    
    ???????
    
    Strange company.
    
    I've worked with people from that program (forgot the names).  They
    were good, conscientios (sp?) people.
    
    Good luck!  I've heard Digital has "want ads" in newspapers looking for
    new marketing people.
