1919.0. "Don't believe the LIVE WIRE "downsizing" memo" by DR::BLINN (Who are the Brain Police?) Tue Jun 02 1992 16:07

        There is a "memo" circulating that purports to be from LiveWire
        and describes a round of "involuntary layoffs".  A copy of the
        headers and first paragraph is included here for your reference. 
        DO NOT CIRCULATE THIS MEMO.  IT IS A HOAX.
        
        Although this "memo" was originally posted on LiveWire in January
        of 1991, IT IS NOT A CURRENT POLICY OR PLAN.
        
        If you receive a copy of this via MAIL or otherwise, don't panic.

                      New phase of U.S. downsizing announced

  Increasingly intense competitive pressure within the computer industry -- 
  business practices, technological advances and manufacturing efficiencies -- 
  are placing added pressures on the company's cost structure, in spite of 
  ongoing cost reduction efforts that focused on increased productivity and 
  efficiency and two voluntary downsizing programs.
