10.0. "no "someone" at Digital" by GVASA::DTL () Sat Mar 02 1985 18:01

Our mind is to have things going fine. In the "Welcome booklet", aka "You and
Digital", aka "Livret d'Accueil" etc..  (aka stands for "also known as")

In the French Livret d'Accueil, it is written that there is no "somemone" 
within our Company. When you hear someone [:-)] saying "I was told..." or
"someone told me that", PLEASE stop him/her and ask who is he/she.

That prevents rumors to run all around and destroy a working mind.

10.4	Openness IS company policy	LATOUR::MURPHY	Dan Murphy	`Sun May 11 1986 18:20`	18
	Can anyone provide the exact quote or pointer to the reference in .0 ? In the copy of "Digital and You" I have at hand, I couldn't find it. However, I did find the following possibly pertinent quotes: [from "Welcome to Digital" p. 2] "Digital owes it success and continued growth to many things, but most important are the employees who have given so much over the years. Our employees have been the prime contributors to Digital's progress and remain the company's greatest source of confidence in the exciting years ahead. We are gratified by their continuing enthusiasm and support." "What kind of a place is Digital Equipment Corporation? Digital is a place with a spirit of openness and informality". [signed, Shel Davis, VP Personnel]

	Must have been lost in the translation...
10.6		HUMAN::DTL		`Mon May 12 1986 11:30`	5
	it comes from the French "Welcome to Digital" handbook. I will write down the exact text when I am back to Paris. (still here today for business reasons) Didier (in a work-related topic)
