We appreciate your positive comments. Unfortunately travel can be an important component with some positions while others require little to none. I am not sure what you mean by dead wood comment but if you are referring to employees that are not being productive it is always our desire to work with our employees to develop them and every effort is sometimes exhausted before moving in another direction.
