Just a few hours ago, the OpenVMS documentation group learned our fate.
This is what we were told:
o Engineering will not pick up the writers
o Harbert "believes in" outsourcing
o Writers are to be placed on one of two lists:
(1) those who will remain in Digital
(2) those who will be "moved to a vendor"
o Writers being moved to a vendor:
(1) The Vendor has veto power over an IC: that IC
will get a TFSO package from Digital
(2) The IC does not have veto power over the vendor:
ICs refusing the move will be terminated without
a TFSO package. Basis for termination is "not doing
your job" (to go to the vendor).
(It seems the vendor will [inadvertently] determine
who gets the TFSO package.)
o Time frame: Q2; if not possible, then after Dragon/Zeta in Q3.
o The vendor(s) have not been identified (to ICs), although SEI (Globe Ad
a few Sundays ago) is one very likely candidate.

But under the reorg, VMS doesn't report to Harbert, so this may not be a done deal. It should be brought up at the VMS Group meeting next Tuesday. /john | |||||

Yeah, the Harbert point was brought up, but as for it not being a done deal, I think it is. People have been told which list they are on. The Stay At Digital (SAD) people will still work under the new SES/IDC (same monkeys - new trees) and the Send A Vendor Employee (SAVE) people will find out who they'll work for soon. I'll update you when I know more; I'm a SAVEd person. (Can't resist a good pun.) MM | |||||

Mark, an even worse pun is the fact that anyone staying at Digital is put into the SAD group.... :-) | |||||
