Subject:Virtual Department - Take II From:KevinX Feeman <KevinX_Feeman -at- CCM -dot- CH -dot- INTEL -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 2 Apr 1998 07:57:00 PST
Hey all. Yesterday, I wrote about creating a virtual department. This
was NO JOKE! I was really asked to do this sort of thing, because Intel
is having cost reductions and I was placed in the middle of it. The
timing, April Fools Day, I did not really consider it. In fact, I
didn't even realize it was April Fools Day. I would not make a joke
about technical communication on this list. Especially since there is
already so much banter and non technical related postings as it is. I
would not want to take up band width. In fact, I am a little offended
that people thought that this situation was a joke. No joke folks. I
am really faced with this situation. Now, enough raving, does anyone
one have suggestions on how best to handle this situation?
