OT >>Duncan, Yes, you are correct, as "almost always". It took me about 3 month to figure out what a dead end that company was for my career. So, likely I went back to Cisco. Thanks partly to you. Best regards. Alex Glad to hear that you are not among the unFOREtunate and a success. I understand how difficult it can be for an extreme laggard to retain the best - when their stock, their "currency", has been so devalued by time and experience. As for rejoining Cisco ... keyword is "likely" ... wink, wink, nod, nod . Best to you Duncan

The book is stocked with revealing quotes from employees, such as: -- Intel (NASDAQ: INTC - news) - ''My office in Fulsom is growing so fast that our cubicle size was reduced, from 9 x 9 to 6 x 9.''
