41.0. "Awakening BULL?" by NETMAN::KRISHNASWAMY (You see a lot just by looking) Thu Jan 31 1991 13:48

    A friend of mine recently got an offer and joined Bull. (Actually he
    rejoined it, but that is not very pertinent;-) ). 
    
    That is surprising in itself. What surprised me more was that the
    person is/has been a manager, not a developer, let us say - associated with
    software, but not networking - and is well over 50 - the vulnerable age 
    group!
    
    I was firmly convinced that BULL HN was going out of the development
    business in the U.S. and that people - shall we say *mature* people
    were being let go (very legally, of course - so no insinuations
    intended). 
    
    What gives? Is it Phoenix (and I do not mean the operation in a city of
    that name) rising from the ashes?
    
    Anyone know?

    Why assume any logic exists in their current hiring/firing practices?.
    
    At this past XMAS time, I got an update from existing ( or was that
    exiting) staff and the wierd sh*t still happens.
    
    Or perhaps they are coming back to life. I just read that they were
    awarded a contract to automate the Mass. State Supreme Court and beat
    out IBM and DEC. But given the state of that state, the $ value may be
    0.   ;-)
    
    From the left coast...
