In article <9984@venera.isi.edu>, rod@venera.isi.edu (Rodney Doyle Van Meter III) writes: | IBM confirmed that it has offered voluntary severance at four | locations, and expects 600 to 1,000 workers to accept. It's probably | not their last layoff, though it's the third in recent years. There were some additional details in one of the papers. The incentive is 1 week pay for every six months service. And it said the offer was not being made to engineers or programmers. Does that mean they are not being layed off or that they have no choice and get no fancy severance package? -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) "The world is filled with fools. They blindly follow their so-called 'reason' in the face of the church and common sense. Any fool can see that the world is flat!" - anon
