| did he jump or was he pushed?Since,it is expected that we miss budget
for revenue by a reasonable bit and expenses by 2000$ per employee.....

| I've heard two rumours:
1) He's lost faith in the Company and legged it.
2) DC is due to be either sold off, chopped off or plain disbanded, and
he resigned rather than oversee it.
Like most rumours, take with a large pinch of salt!

| Here's another: He's gone to AT&T Europe, which is currently headed by
former DECcie Pier Carlo Falotti.
Which doesn't preclude either of the interpretations in .2, of course.

| 3118.4 | Terrible news... | LOVADA::SCHERRER | Patrick - Corp Strategic Alliances | Tue May 31 1994 09:28 | 4 |

about it.

| 3118.5 | So whats terrible about it?? | BUSSTP::DWOOD | David Wood, Ayr | Tue May 31 1994 10:58 | 12 |

Re .4
The why bothers me far more than the who.
Until I know and understand that, then I could
not possibly comment on whether this is terrible
news or not.
Does anybody know for a fact why he is leaving??

| 3118.7 | Model for "jumped or pushed?" | CARROL::SCHMIDT | Cynical Optimist | Wed Jun 01 1994 18:55 | 17 |
|
RE .1 "did he jump or was he pushed?"
Don't know about this case but, in the usual absence of
information in the memos, my speculation is that if
The first person mentioned in the announcement memo is
the replacement, then the original one was pushed,
The first person mentioned is the original, then (s)he
jumped/left voluntarily.
The model predicts that this guy left voluntarily, but that
Bill Steul was pushed. FWIW.

3118.2 is very accurate (as already stated by GVPROD::DOIGTE::DonChisholm). I
would add that it is only normal personal ethics for a professional of that
caliber to leave a company when he/she is in disagreement on fundamental
strategies. Top management must be united; just because we see numerous
violations of this principle didn't convince Sergio that he should be one more
example.
3118.3 isn't exceedingly inaccurate either, inasmuch as Sergio left to take
another job. Whether or not he left to go to AT&T isn't something that he
wished to discuss with a wide audience.
Re 3118.4, I initially thought that the news is very bad indeed. Then I was
reminded of Rwanda, Bosnia, Ethiopia, and plutonium. I can only guess that not
many people are reacting to Sergio's departure in this notesfile, because 1)
they, like hundreds, reacted by addressing personal messages to him directly,
and 2) some of them are busy taking the logical steps implied in the 1st
paragraph.

| He was certainly one of the hardest working managers I have ever
known. On one occasion, having pondered about something I thought was
wrong I wandered down to my terminal at home at 4 a.m. and sent him
electronic mail. I had an answer within 10 minutes, and yes, we are in
the same time zone.

| 3118.12 | Digital needs many more like him | CTHQ::MOHN | blank space intentionally filled | Fri Jun 03 1994 10:14 | 13 |
| He was also one of the most *human* managers that I have ever worked
for. A few years ago I was given an assignment in Geneva a couple of
levels down from Sergio. The day I arrived in the office I got an
e-mail from Sergio welcoming me to Geneva and inviting me to drop in to
his office to say hello. Two days later he dropped into MY office,
just to say hello and get to know me a bit. I was impressed; none of
my management in the US had ever done such a thing. DEC, er Digital,
needs far more human beings in high places, not fewer. He will be
missed, sorely.
Regards,
Bill
