223.4DECworld Employee Day is a Flop for ParentsCADSE::REHMLaissez les bons temps rouler!Mon Jul 02 1990 14:0322
    Well, those of use who have children in day care/camp this summer
    who don't take the company-approved buses won't be attending
    DECworld '90 Employee Day.
    
    The official policy of Corporate Employee Services and Recreation
    is (paraphrasing):
    
    		"If you don't take the DEC bus, you don't get in."
    
    Unfortunately, the DEC bus leaves at 7:45 a.m., and leaves, in my
    case, from a town 10 miles in the opposite direction to Boston.
    Day camp for my daughter starts at 8:00 a.m.
    
    For more info and similar tales, see HELPME::PARENTING note 45.0.
        
    I encourage others in the same situation to call Corporate 
    Employee Services and Recreation at dtn 251-1311 and ask them
    to change this policy.  Please ask for Sheila Fantozzi  (SOCIAL::FANTOZZI).

223.5...and a flop for BostoniansCADSYS::PSMITHfoop-shootin&#039;, flip city!Mon Jul 02 1990 14:1925
    For me to take the bus, I will have to:
    
    o  drive 1 hour west from Boston to Marlboro
    o  get on the bus at 7:30 am at MRO4
    o  ride the bus back 1 hour east from Marlboro to Boston
    
    o  repeat in reverse at 4:00, meaning I get home FROM BOSTON TO BOSTON
       in two hours.
    
    I've talked to Corporate Employee Services, and there is apparently "no
    way" they can a) give me my sticker early, b) let me meet the MRO bus
    at the World Trade Center and get my sticker from the driver, or c) let
    me ride a bus from the Boston site.
    
    I understand needing to have controls when you have this many people
    attending, but if they can be flexible for customers, what is the big
    deal about being a little flexible (if there is a need) for employees?
    
    Disappointed at CESR's _attitude_,
    Pam
    
    P.S.  There's also a discussion of it in HUMAN::DIGITAL, in the
    DECworld note.  Apparently a lot of people are complaining -- I talked
    to Barbara Davis, at 251-1104, and their phones have been ringing off
    the hook for a week about this issue.

    Is there some landmark that someone can suggest where =wn= types
    could look for each other, say at particular times of the day?

    I just got a really interesting volunteer job in the Telecommunications
    area, (tho until I talk to the man who offered it to me I'm not
    at all sure what I'll be doing). Anyway I'll be there as a volunteer
    from the 23rd to the 27th.

    re: .12 eric
    
    I'm glad you were able to work something out!  
    
    However, I just talked with Sheila -- she said yours was a special case
    that had been worked out and they couldn't do this for everyone.  
    There is "no way" they can let me have my ticket early so I don't have
    to leave Brookline at 6:30 to get to the MRO4 bus by 7:30 am.
    
    It is apparently a committee that has made the decision to take a rigid
    stand on this issue.

    This isn't exactly about Employee Day, but about DECworld.
    I will be there from the 20th to the 27th, would any one like to meet
    for dinner? I will be working the registration area from 7 AM to 6 PM
    every day.
