.it seems that Cisco's sales force is under tremendous pressure to sell products from their expanding product lines.....she has left... I've been working here nearly 20 yrs and this is a common complaint at every company. We'd all like to work less and get paid more. When the complaining stops, then I will really worry. IF you are saying that their turnover is 2x their industry average and that it has taken a sudden jump, then I'll start to worry as I did with Oracle (I advised selling at $49). more Free Cisco Discussion at: suite101.com regards Kirk out

>>an individual who recently quit Cisco indicated that the sales force was unhappy with the company's current management style As someone who is very happy with the company's management I cannot deny that is very good news indeed. That she left is a very good sign for Cisco shareholders - we want and need those able to handle the ever expanding product lines. Regarding your speculation, it is a logical fallacy and analytical mistake to read an anecdotal situation large. If others can't handle Cisco's fast growth hopefully they will follow, before they are let go - Cisco should have no problem replacing them with better. Maybe there's a less demanding home for her at BAY, ASND or COMS. Regards
