    I heard the same thing last night. According to Nightly Business
    report, DEC senior VP for Sales and Marketing has resigned and 
    that's why DEC stock has been going down.....
825.2IAMOK::KOSKIWhy don't we do it in the water?Thu May 25 1989 10:332
    We've heard from several souces that Jack Sheilds is no longer with
    DEC. Has anyone seen offical news?
825.3No truth to the rumorEXIT26::STRATTONI (heart) my wifeThu May 25 1989 11:1513
        Corporate Employee Communications has indicated that the
        rumor about a vice-president resignation is false.  The
        DIGITAL conference moderators are currently waiting for
        an official message from that group.  That message will
        be posted here as soon as possible.
        
        In the meantime, this topic is write-locked.  Please refrain
        from writing other notes on this topic, as well.
        
        Thank you,

               'Nightly Business Report' to broadcast retraction 

  During its broadcast this evening, The Nightly Business Report (a news 
  show that appears on public television in the U.S.) will correct a 
  statement made on yesterday's program (5/24/89) regarding Digital.

  The correction is as follows:  "Contrary to NBR's report, there is no truth 
  to the rumor that John J. Shields, senior vice-president of Sales, Service, 
  Marketing and International has resigned from Digital.  He continues his 
  leadership position with Digital's senior management.  This has been 
  confirmed by Digital officials."

825.8Topic no longer write lockedCVG::THOMPSONProtect the guilty, punish the innocentThu May 25 1989 17:1213
    Personally I don't believe that speculation regarding the employment
    status or leave of absence status of *any* DEC employee is useful or
    beneficial. It is certainly not considerate of that employee. This
    note remains here only because the information was widely reported
    and the transmission of the official denial appears to be in the
    best interests of both the individual in question and the corporation.

    I am setting this topic NOWRITE. Discussion of that action may be
    taken up off-line with myself and/or the other moderators of this
    conference. The commands SHOW MODERATOR and SEND/MODERATOR can be
    useful for that sort of thing.
