Can I keep my Blackberry, Palm Pilot, laptop, and other Enron computer equipment?

No. Those things are all Enron property. A drop box will be set up at the security desk at 1400 Smith Street. Please bring those items to that box at your convenience. A sign-in sheet will be provided to record receipt for those items.

Just in case the Enron employees wanted to keep contact lists, their former corporate masters have let them know the answer.

It's no.

Thanks, guys.

The rest of this site is equally pathetic.

you left out the nest line:

"What do you think this is, the IRS?"

Just in case the Enron employees wanted to keep contact lists, their former corporate masters have let them know the answer.

Contact lists can be copied to diskettes or a Jaz drive.

So, because people lose their jobs it's OK, in your book, for them to steal from a company?

Why does that not surprise me? You think Phil Gramm is "self-righteous."

[Dog Gone]

What? Are you saying that its cruel for Enron to collect company equipment from its employees?

Nobody said that the employees couldn't take their contacts with them. Enron would probably encourage that. But that equipment didn't suddenly become employee property.

Maybe I'm missing something here. Please help.

that equipment didn't suddenly become employee property.

You Are exactly correct!

What's a Blackberry ?

[razorback-bert]

I don't know, but it is bound to be racist.

[LibKill]

The Blackberry is a tiny (pager size) email device.

Well in this case they have to, the bankruptcy court dictates this as it will be sold to pay Enron debts

Going thought the same thing myself. The company I was working for went bankrupt owing me a VERY VERY LARGE chunk of money I will never see but all company property (laptop) had to be returned to be sold by order of the trustees

Bond holders, board members and trustees get the last of the scrap...know your paper before ye invest...

The Enron writing was on the wall in 97...

Long before that. The Enron commercials were goofy beyond belief. "Why? Why? Why?" Some poor geek has to walk around in a metal suit in front of a camera - to demonstrate what exactly?

"What's a Blackberry ?"

The data on some of those devices may well be protected by subpoena, now or soon.

Wear a Joe Lieberman mask. Maybe they'll toss a few $50's at you on your way ou the door

[Utah Girl]

Those were Enron commercials? Jeesh, no wonder they went under. I can remember the commercial, but the company name never stuck in my brain.

[tophat9000]

I am not talking stock .. they owe me a large chunk of back pay that I will never see

[Rain-maker]

That sucks as an employee!

If Karmic law has anything to do with it...I hope you reap a rebound, dude!

mmmmm........blackberry......

The really discouraging part is the statements you will get in the mail, detailing the company's dwindling assets. My brother's employer went out of buisness, still owing him several thousand dollars in back pay. For the next 5 years or so, he got statements detailing the company's assets, less deductions for lawyer's fees. Eventually, all of the money went to the lawyers and my brother got zilch. Everyone affected by this has my sympathy, FWIW.

They were so weird that I looked up the company on the Net. The commercials had no content. So I wondered about Enron from the beginning of the commercials.
