Eric wrote "Cisco's revenue per employee has been going up..." Jach replied "Not anymore, CSCO said that margins will go lower in the future." Jach, margin reductions would not affect revenue per employee. Revenue is synonymous with net sales, which can go up even if margins decrease. BTW, I'm not sure I accept the inevitability of Cisco's margins declining. I think they put that cautionary in as standard boiler plate, like "past performance is not a guarantee of future results". MSFT plays the same game with every earnings release. This was a tough quarter, and csco's margins only dipped 0.2% over the prior quarter on sales that were up by more than 8%.
