1029.0. "LIFE AFTER DIGITAL" by USCTR2::MGORDON () Wed Jun 27 1990 15:18

    	I was wondering what the people who are taking the "package" 
    ie., TFSO, are planning to do once they leave Digital on June 29.
    I'd like to see responses to this note from those folks who are
    actually leaving or from those who know of others who are leaving
    or have already left the company. 
    
    	Would you please relate how you made the decision to take the
    package ?  Was it a difficult or easy choice?  And what do you 
    think you'll miss most about Digital?  What will you miss the least?

1029.1It was a hard decisionSONATA::HARMONThu Jun 28 1990 09:5125
    As one who is taking the "package", the decision was probably the
    hardest one I've ever made.  People would ask, "are you going to take
    it?" and my reply would be "depends on what day and time of day you ask
    me".  There's alot to consider when it actually is offered.
    
    What am I going to do, hopefully in September '91 I'll go back to
    school to take the appropriate courses to get certification
    for interpreting for the hearing impaired, something I've wanted to do
    for the past 10 or 11 years.  In the interim, take at least the month
    of July off, maybe even August, potentially use some of my frequent
    flyer miles if I can decide where I want to go, clean the house, do
    some painting in the house, go to the beach, get together with friends,
    and think about what I want to do for a job in the interim......
    
    What won't I miss about Digital.....there isn't much as I really have
    enjoyed Digital....what won't I miss about my current job...living out
    of a suitcase and travelling 80% of the time (well, I might miss it a
    little) and the stress associated with it.  What will I miss about
    Digital....the security, the people and the madness.  But, it's not
    like I can't ever return.  I'm just really looking forward to trying
    something different....first time in my 38 years I've ever taken a risk
    and it feels great!!!
