Staff Quotations | Page 5

We appreciate the loyalty of the staff to have waited for us to have ... given them a raise.

We appreciate the idea but don't feel we can reduce office staff here. There is a lot more to what we do such as educational grants.

We appreciate the hard work of the Department of Justice staff in bringing this merger to resolution. The consent decree will result in no disruption to MCI customers. We are eager to begin offering the benefits of this new combination to customers as soon as possible.

Most of the services staff is for the larger corporations, not so much for small and medium businesses because they cannot afford an extensive services army.

Luckily, I'm young and I have a great training staff that helps me take care of my body day in and day out. You make sure you're eating right. Make sure you're hitting the iron, lifting as much as you possibly can. That's easier said than done because we don't have many practice days.

We have a solid staff and we have five guys that have experience and know how to pitch. It's going to be a fun year. We've still got to go out and play the games, but we have the potential. We'll see how it plays out.

We have a solid pitching staff and should be solid defensively. We should be a competitive team in a very strong division.

We have some decisions to make, and we need to get the staff together and talk.

When you score nine runs, these are games you have to win, no doubt about it. When your best thing is the pitching staff and you score nine runs for the pitching staff we've had all year, no way we should have lost. We have to look in the mirror and pitch better.

We want our staff to be externally focused, to be out in the communities, educating, building relationships with the constituents we serve, not in an office answering phones. We can do it better in a centralized manner.
