2234.0. "Engineering TFSO numbers" by SMAUG::GARROD (Floating on a wooden DECk chair) Mon Nov 23 1992 07:49

    There has been a lot of speculation about this round of TFSO numbers.
    Well I was given the following numbers and told that there was nothing
    secret about them. Therefore I'm posting them here as a service to the
    readership so that people no longer have to speculate and to give some
    certainty to this this whole sorry situation.
    
    My understanding is that following number of people from engineering
    groups (ie Bill Strecker's organization) will be TFSOed on December 7th:
    
    Group				Number to	Total
    Name				be TFSOed       Population
    -----				---------	----------
    NAC                                 144		1,086
    LENAC				 14		  141
    PCI					 60		  319
    Gigaswitch				 10		   53
    Storage				150		1,024
    TNSG				940		5,000
    Sam Fuller's Org			 60		  419
    M. Patel's Org			 70		  443
    
    The total engineering numbers are:	1,850		12,868
    
    Yes I know the above doesn't add up to 1,850. I think that is because
    not all Engineering Group's are included in the detailed breakdown.
    I was also told that 500 people will be TFSOed out of Bill Demmer's
    Organization. I don't know the total population size.
    
    If anybody has any more numbers to add that they've been told through
    their management chain (as these were) then please post them as
    replies.

2234.1	TNSG breakdown anyone?	SMAUG::GARROD	Floating on a wooden DECk chair	`Mon Nov 23 1992 20:45`	4
	Does anybody know how the TNSG numbers break down between the various sub organizations? Dave
2234.2		ULYSSE::WADE		`Tue Nov 24 1992 08:27`	8
	>> Does anybody know how the TNSG numbers break down between the various >> sub organizations? Try Bob Cohen or Orson Niederhauser Jim
2234.3	1800? Try 450	STAR::DANIELE		`Mon Dec 07 1992 17:23`	11
	>> Does anybody know how the TNSG numbers break down between the various >> sub organizations? Does it matter? The subgroups seem to be hiring as they downsize. Of the engineers I know personally who were notified of being in jeopardy, 75% got other jobs in Digital. (This is not TNSG-only, by any means.) Mike
2234.4		STAR::DANIELE		`Wed Dec 09 1992 16:17`	3
	Yesterday our (NaC) personnel folks discussed all this. Apparently some groups in TNSG (and presumably elsewhere) where allowed to hire during this period. But the net loss was still supposed to be 950 or so.
2234.5		STAR::DANIELE		`Fri Jan 08 1993 08:27`	7
	Well, now that it's history, does anybody know, or has anybody seen, what the actual numbers were? Personally, I would take some small comfort in knowing that engineering was able to perform this task successfully. Mike
2234.6	Feb. 14 - St Valentines Day	DBSALF::QUINN	Crying? There's no crying in baseball!	`Fri Jan 08 1993 13:56`	10
	Well, as the old saying goes, "It aint over til it's over" I heard a rumor the other day of a St Valentines Day Massacre of about 16,000 people. And knowing we don't have quite that many VP's (it only seems like we do), I don't know how they can avoid not touching engineering again. I know the 14th is a Sunday, so we'll celbrate on the 15th :-( - John
