I made the same decision my predecessors made, which is that those who succeeded us deserve to lead without us looking over their shoulders. Pitney Bowes has many strengths and has recovered many times in the past from adversity. These are exceptionally difficult times because mail volumes have dropped both significantly and rapidly. The company's leadership is giving its best efforts to move the company forward under these very challenging circumstances.

My Mentor was Don Dolan the director of Engineering in Danbury. Life was great then, Great Bonus, Profit sharing, and good increases. I was Hired as a Staff Engineer and had a good background with the 8051 micro. Patents yes, Moving up yes, was able to by a new house. Fast forward to 2005 and the writing was on the wall for PB. I tried to suggest to the upper tier about using the internet and having all data sent via the internet with customers having there own electronic mail box....but that's another story. No raises, no profit sharing, fighting to get paid for education, etc . No choice took buy out in 2009. I am doing okay but the company is on the verge of going bye bye. What a shame, what are your thoughts on the way the company is doing today? Mike,

When I noticed that you no longer were president and CEO of Pitney Bowes, I googled you to see what you are now doing. How delightful that I still can avail myself of your rapier sharp thinking on this blog! It is nice, after so many years, to be able to do so again. Among my favorite times at Pitney Bowers were the times spent working with you. Best, Dandy Barrett (formerly Witty) What a great pleasure to hear from you! Hi, Mike!

I really appreciated it's message of honesty and focus on what's really important. Your daily presence at PB is missed, but it's good to stay connected with you and your thoughts in this manner.
