2676.1 | non-US packages? | HIBOB::KRANTZ | Next window please. | Mon Sep 20 1993 19:14 | 5 |
| Does anyone know what the packages being given to the Kaufbeuren
and/or Galway employees? I'm just curious how it stacks up to the last
package offered in the US.

2676.2 | 6200 is a lot | BALZAC::STURT | EUZOKOTAR BIRIBIKETA!! | Tue Sep 21 1993 05:02 | 4 |
| 6200 seems like a lot. It's nearly double the payroll of the French
subsidiary. Any ideas why?

2676.3 | due to Kienzle purchase | EICMFG::MMCCREADY | Mike McCready Digital-PCS | Tue Sep 21 1993 06:32 | 8 |
| In March 93 there were
Digital Equipment 4700
Digital-Kienzle 3700
Digital Kaufbeuren 680
So there was a large increase in headcount when Digital bought Kienzle.

2676.4 | | BHAJEE::JAERVINEN | Ora, the Old Rural Amateur | Tue Sep 21 1993 07:36 | 6 |
| Digital was down to about 3600 by end of FY93, i.e. about 23% cut from
the peak.
And yes, Kienzle increased the total headcount significantly.
Digital-PCS is aslo cutting (I think they now have ~250).

2676.5 | Nothing official about D-PCS yet | EICMFG::MMCCREADY | Mike McCready Digital-PCS | Tue Sep 21 1993 08:49 | 15 |
| There has been no official confirmation or denial about cuts to
Digital-PCS.
Tomorrow there is a "Digital-PCS Wirtschaftsausschu�" (Financial
Committee) meeting which Klaus Lutz from the Digital Equipment
Deutschland GmbH (Holding) will attend, and in which we expect
information about the plans for Digital-PCS to be provided.
[German law requires a financial committee for all companies with more
than 100 employees. Management and employees are represented, but the
committee has no power of decision. Management is required by law to
provide timely and complete information about major changes to the
company.]

2676.6 | Cuts are planned by the holding | EICMFG::MMCCREADY | Mike McCready Digital-PCS | Wed Sep 22 1993 17:23 | 17 |
| Cuts in Digital-PCS were confirmed today as being planned by the
Digital Equipment Deutschland GmbH (Holding). Unfortunately no
representative from the holding attended today's meeting at
Digital-PCS, since yesterday afternoon Klaus Lutz cancelled his
attendance for today in order to be present at Digital-Kienzle in
Villingen.
Apparently, and despite an agreement to the the contrary between
management and the workers' council of Digital-Kienzle, Digital-Kienzle
employees read of the massive cuts in the newspaper before being
informed directly. Reporting on hearsay, the press release was
accidently released prematurely.
Klaus Lutz has rescheduled his appearance at Digital-PCS for Friday
afternoon.

Cheers,

2676.8 | No closure of Digital-PCS | EICMFG::MMCCREADY | Mike McCready Digital-PCS | Thu Sep 30 1993 13:43 | 5 |
| Klaus Lutz said that Digital-PCS is not closing. There may be some cuts
to Digital-PCS, and management is working on a new business plan. That
is all the concrete news there is at the moment.

2676.9 | 25% cut for Digital-PCS | EICMFG::MMCCREADY | Mike McCready Digital-PCS | Fri Oct 22 1993 12:17 | 14 |
| The latest news about job cuts at Digital-PCS Systemtechnik GmbH is
that there will be a cut from the 220 current employees down to
150-160.
The previous intention expressed in an overall top-down plan for
downsizing all Digital companies in Germany called for a goal of 88
employees for Digital-PCS. Klaus Lutz, the Human Resource Manager for
Digital Equipment Deutschland GmbH (the holding company), confirmed
today that as a result of the working group established to review the
business of Digital-PCS, the number 88 had been replaced by 150-160. In
other words there will be a cut of 1/4 instead of 2/3 - painful, but
not quite as disasterous as the previous plan.
