You guys want more? I can sit here and argue with you all day and night if I want to waste my time.
Let's look at sales productivity per employee. (Once again feel free to correct me if my numbers are off).
I show FIBR having $125.5 million in sales in the last 12 months with a total of 1,849 employees. Quick math gives me $67,874 in sales per employee. PATHETIC. First of all FIBR doesn't earn any real money off those sales and you have to pay an employee at least $20,000-$30,000 per year. They don't show much in the way of productivity.
You guys have a total dream of C$CO acquiring FIBR (yeah, right) so let's use them as an example. Cisco had $6.87 billion in sales in the TTM and has 11,000 employees. Quick math gives you $624,000 in sales per employee or almost ten times as much FIBR.
Even Lucent has $197,000 in sales per employee or 3 times as much. And they are cutting costs like you wouldn't believe, not adding expenses like FIBR.
Even Seagate with it's lowly margins and all it's problems has $80,000/employee which is more productive than FIBR.
I could go on and on. CIEN has over $400,000 in sales per employee.
Since FIBR does remote access stuff like A$ND let's compare those two. Looks like A$ND does over $1.5 million per employee.
COMS (a company I have been shorting for the last few months) does over $600,000 per employee.
Even the lowly SHVA with all of it's problems does $230,000 in sales per employee or nearly 4 times as much.
CS (another company with serious problems) does over $219,000 per employee.
BAY does $364,000 per employee.
DELL does over $1 million per employee
CPQ does even more that that with around $1.2 million/employee
MSFT and INTC both do a little over $500,000/per employee
AMAT does over $350,000/employee
Even Big "bloated" Blue (IBM) does over $320,000/per employee |
