I don't remember... but it's long enough ago that that doesn't mean anything. Virtually everyone I knew there left the company around 1996 as the raises weren't keeping up with the market. New hires were making more than everyone else.
if you read my second article: managing then absolutely sucked. You couldn't hire anyone.
I was a manager there from 2016-2019 and ... it still absolutely sucked. :) Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
