1432.0. "Thanksging en masse!" by GVPROD::MEYER (Nick, DTN 7-821-4172) Fri May 16 1997 11:26

    Howzabout a few prayers of thanksgiving, for the sudden 180 degree
    changes in morale in this dear old company of ours, which has become
    very evident to us all via notes & via all the overwhelmingly positive
    feedback from Wednesday's DVN broadcast.
    
    Long may it last, as we need cheerfulnes in the work place as well.
    
    As we pray in chuch on Sundays for our leaders & government, so we we
    should include our captains of industry for good guidance & being able
    to achieve our new goals. As Bruce claflin said the problem is "us" &
    (in theory) this should be easy to fix. However we need to pray for
    changes of mind-sets, not just for the top, nor just the grass roots, but
    for those (oh so many) layers in the middle.
    
    We all need help, so get those prayer stools out, & let's get to it!
    
    Praise the Lord & pray for us all...
    					  :o)

1432.1	THANKSGIVING	GVPROD::MEYER	Nick, DTN 7-821-4172	`Fri May 16 1997 11:28`	2
	Opps sorry pardon, I meant to say "Thanksgiving..." :o)
1432.2	Thanks, Lord - we put this company in Your hands.	HARMNY::HOFFMAN		`Fri May 16 1997 13:39`	9
	Nick, I join with you in asking God, in the wonderful name of Jesus, to bless the work of our hands and minds here at Digital. May He bring us to a new era of growth and blessing, as we function where He has put us in this great company. Praise God! Dave
1432.3		COVERT::COVERT	John R. Covert	`Fri May 16 1997 16:49`	8
	Let's hope that this really bears fruit, and is a change from the previous philosophy of "the firings will continue until morale improves." The title can be corrected by the author: Position to .0, then say SET NOT/TITLE="Thanksgiving en masse!" /john
1432.4	Rogation Collect for Commerce and Industry (BCP)	COVERT::COVERT	John R. Covert	`Fri May 16 1997 16:51`	8
	Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ in his earthly life shared our toil and hallowed our labor: Be present with thy people where they work; make those who carry on the industries and commerce of this land responsive to thy will; and give to us all a pride in what we do, and a just return for our labor; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
1432.5	Cheerfulness abounds...	GVPROD::MEYER	Nick, DTN 7-821-4172	`Sat May 17 1997 12:40`	10
	Thankyou John for that tip. I too was aware of that saying. I'm also aware that in some countries, there were layoffs of management like "50 staff in the level 10 to 15", however I don't suppose it happened in the USA. But as in all things, I could be wrong. Back to the original note: The morale has improved considerably on both sides of the pond & we should be very grateful, as this will engender better things. :o)
