[LINK] travel slashed at Cisco

[Jan Whitaker]

It's started:


"So our expense per employee on travel has gone from I think about 
$7,900 per employee down to almost a run rate of $3,400," Mr. 
Chambers said. "That will not come back."

The unsubtle context lurking behind Mr. Chambers's message was clear 
to the longtime Cisco followers. The company sells video conferencing 
systems and is saving money by using that technology rather than 
planes, trains and automobiles. "Smart companies will follow the 
Cisco model" was the obvious message.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
