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. -- Clay Phipps -- { amd hplabs!hpda sri-unix ucbvax!amd } !fortune!phipps { ihnp4 cbosgd decvax!decwrl!amd harpo allegra}
