| 3162.1 | why pay for something if you don't have to | AKOCOA::BBARRY | Laudabamusne Rex | Mon Jun 13 1994 12:12 | 10 |
| Have heard nothing re: "voluntary" buyout. Again, why would
this company spend money (getting in real short supply) to
shed employees, when they can just say bye with no package?
/Bob
P.S.
I would guess that if there was a voluntary "buyout" the rush
to the door would be a hazard.

| I haven't heard any rumors about a voluntary buyout in the U.S. There could
be one or more such programs outside the U.S., and it appears the base noter
is non-U.S. (UK?).

| No, born and raised here in the U.S. (Chicago). Guess I'm just being
hopeful, that's all.
Thanks,

| You aren't alone on that count! *Hopeful* is mostly all we have
in common at this time. Some are hopeful the company turns it
around, some are hopeful they get some $$ if they do get fired,
some are hopeful they can survive either.

| 3162.5 | Pension buy-out | DIODE::CROWELL | Jon Crowell | Tue Jun 14 1994 17:00 | 8 |
|
Why?
1) If it is a pension buyout the $$ they give us aren't the companys,
they come from the plan (another pool of money).
2) If we take this package they don't have to pay unemplyment
for us... In effect we just quit with pension buyout.

| 3162.7 | leaving without $$$$ | ZEKE::ABREU | | Wed Jun 15 1994 12:07 | 17 |

Some of us are fed up enough that we're quitting without the bucks.
I've given my notice after 12 1/2 years, mainly because I can't stand
the b.s. anymore.
I volunteered for the last wave and was told no. As I see it, I could
wait for the wave to hit again, or take my fate in my own hands and walk
out with dignity. I choose dignity.
I will miss the people that I've met over the years, I will miss
working for a company that I took so much pride in, but I will not miss
the company that I am currently employed by.
My last day is this Friday... I am filled with excitement for a new
beginning and sadness.

I volunteered for the latest TFSO and was told that, No , you cannot
volunteer. Yet just one floor above me individuals have been
volunteering and been getting the package. Also heard that MCS (Field
Service) was allowed to volunteer (at least in the Boston area).
Seems to me there should be some consistency in the way this layoff
is being conducted.

| 3162.11 | This is known as "plausible deniability" | OKFINE::KENAH | Every old sock meets an old shoe... | Wed Jun 15 1994 18:37 | 4 |
| I imagine if you checked closely, you'd find that no one really
"officially" volunteered.

| Also, if you "volunteer" and tell your manager you have an
exciting new opportunity lined up, you have guaranteed that
you will NOT get the pack.

Don, too bad you didn't say yes back in WJO!!
The way I see, it if you really want to stay at digital, and
are clearly needed to help the company succeed, they will give
you the boot.
If on the other hand, you ask for the package, and even point
out that your departure could possibly save another's job, as
in abbove example, you will be denied.

Surely you jest! :-) Why would they start being consistant
at this juncture?
