Terry,

I didn't mean to name names too. But amidst
this misinformation about "droves of salespeople leaving"
I want to clarify certain truths.

You probably don't know what is going on. But there
is an effort by some to keep misinforming this thread about
"droves of salespeople leaving" that I decided to speak
up. Too bad I had to drop a name, but that lends credibility
to my posts.

There are "no droves of salespeople leaving". They were all
fired for lack of sales. If I were the owner of a company,
I'd do the same. Plus, realize that commision scales of
MRV versus Xyplex are very different. MRV's is more
performance oriented. Every time there is
a merger, some people are not going to be happy. But you
can't make every one happy all the time. (Note: M. Pallies
did not come from Xyplex, so it's nothing to do with
commissions and probably caused by something else. I don't
need to know, and I am not nosy)

I knew about your posts quite a while back. But never decided
to drop names until things like your story starts coming to this thread.

I am sure you have good intentions, but the salesperson you
are referring to also has bad vibes about MRV. I used to goof off
at work too (I happen to be a bad employee. Just don't like working
for someone else), and I know how it is to get fired. After
you get fired , you don't tell people you get fired. Hey, that
happens all the time in all the corporations. I have a friend
who hates working for Cisco, too, by the way.

Sorry, but there are always two sides to a story. Don't mean
to offend you in a personal way.
