| We used to be #3 behind Raytheon and AT&T. What with AT&T having
a lot of layoffs in Andover, we may have moved up a bit.
I know that in New Hampshire, we run neck-and-neck with Sanders,
though I think that we've now pulled ahead of them to the #1 spot.

| 389.2 | At least #1 in Mass, perhaps #1 in N.E. | DENTON::AMARTIN | Alan H. Martin | Fri Sep 25 1987 23:36 | 8 |
| Ever since joining Digital in June '81, I've never heard us described as
less than #2 in Massachusetts, behind Raytheon. Did AT&T move up recently,
or did we pass them a long time ago?
Within the past few years, I thought I've heard Digital described as #1 in
New England, although I don't recall any of the sources as seeming
particularly authoritative.

| 389.3 | Neutron Jack lost the #1 spot which GE had held | DELNI::GOLDSTEIN | Explicitly political | Wed Sep 30 1987 16:08 | 13 |
| It wasn't AT&T who was ahead of us, it was GE.
AT&T's Merrimack Valley Works isn't all that huge, even if you add
the headcount from AT&T's other operations. GE, on the other hand,
has the Aircraft Engine works in Lynn, the transformer works in
Pittsfield, and some other facilities in both parts of the
Commonwealth. But they've been having hard times lately, and have
laid off quite a few people, putting them into the #3 or lower spot.
So it's either us or Raytheon for #1. I suppose if you count all
the people who've worked at Raytheon during a given year, they're
ahead, but if you count net-after-layoffs, it's not so clear. ;-)

| Perhaps the AT&T perception is a holdover from the days when New
England Telephone was part of Big Mama... after all, there are
*lots* of telephone workers, aren't there?

| 389.5 | Raytheon among Mass. based Corp.'s | NAAD::BATES | How soon is now? | Sun Oct 18 1987 20:07 | 6 |
| Last I heard, Raytheon was the #1 employer for corporations headquarted
in Mass., GE & GTE (whose corporate headquarters are not in Mass.)
both employee more people (in Mass.) than Raytheon.
