Fortune has just undergone its third Reduction In Force (RIF) in a year,
a move by management coming at the end of an unprofitable quarter (84q3)
that followed its first profitable quarter (84q2) in over a year (83q1).
I was among those riffed-off, which included my manager and his manager.
There is no Languages Development group at Fortune as of today.
Anyone doing any interesting compiler or software development environment
work out there ? Inquiries are hereby solicited.
Replies to "fortune!phipps" are probably exercises in futility;
my VAX login at Fortune may expire at any moment
(it was deleted the afternoon of the RIF, but temporarily reinstated
because of my reputation for a high level of professional conduct).
Either I or my electronic surrogate (i.e., answering machine)
is reachable by conventional media as follows:
Phone: 408/247-3716,
US Mail (direct, short term): 4321 # S-212 Norwalk Dr., San Jose, CA 95129.
US Mail (indirect, long term): PO Box 2284, Santa Clara, CA 95055-2284.
