| Notice how no one is answering???? Many of us are anxious to know if
these rumors are a cruel hoax or not.

| How about an entry on all issues discussed at the BOD meetings. Is that
kind of info normally available to the average employee? If not it
should be.

| Re -1
That is somewhat naive. Why should all business of the BOD be public?

| 1763.4 | Is Digital not a business? Or am I just a little Naive?.......???? | EMDS::MANGAN | | Thu Feb 27 1992 11:04 | 33 |

"That is somewhat naive". .2 was an opinion based on the following:
1. The BOD is salaried...are they not?
2. Who pays thier Salary? You and I.
3. We as employees have as much if not more
interest in the survival/growth of the company than most of the
BOD members.
4. Has all the ups and downs of the Digital in recent years, due
'entirely' to the economy? Mabey not.
Naive is sitting back and not caring enough to ask these questions.
Naive is letting a company fall deeper and deeper into trouble both
economically and more importantly socially.
Naive is following in the footsteps of a predecessor....regardless if
it is the correct path to growth for the company.
Let's see I vote in the town officials were I live. All thier business
is public. AND its a business.
I vote in the BOD of the credit union that I belong to. All thier
business is public. AND its a business.
Is Digital not a business? Or am I just a little Naive?.......????

| The BoD isn't salaried. They get fees for attending meetings, and they get
an annual stipend for being on the Board.
The BoD is supposed to discuss the long-range goals of the company.
If DEC's board meetings were public record, our competitors would have an
unfair advantage.

| My mistake, insert "fees" and or "stipend" in place of "salary."
the company's profit ((which is generated by the avg. employee((you and
me)) still pay's for this.
Also insert "open door policy in effect between employees and BOD
members" in place of, "BoD business being public." Isn't anyone just a
little bit curious about what's going on at these BoD meetings? I
relize that some of the "long-range goals of the company" are priv.
info and I agree it should stay priv.,but as a stockholder I am
interested to know how/why some of the decisions are made at the top
that effect the future of my company. What's wrong with that? I know
that's not the way it's been done in Washington. But look what the
politicians get away with, Maby if they knew that we knew what was
going on, we might have some leverage in the decision making process.
