Can somebody clarify how many employees DEC has?

Yahoo says 54,000. WBUR in Boston just reported 23,000.

Quite a difference. Could there be confusion over local vs. out-of-state or foreign employees?

Dear Mohan:

Many can empathize with your zealousness in achieving greater appreciation in your investments. However, the "fat" you refer to is real people supporting real families by working as hard as they can.

Furthermore, management must take responsibility if corporate performance fails to achieve to the level expected by shareholders.

Perhaps you can be more sensitive in your choice of words.

Sincerely,

KQB
