Why Have All RedDot's Best Employees Fled?

The Star Employees are Running from RedDot - Maybe This is a Hint

I’m old. Remember when Bo and Luke Duke left the Dukes of Hazard? No? How about when Suzanne Sommers stopped being the third in Threes Company? Not that one either, eh? How about Richie Cunnigham leaving Happy Days? Oh, come on – that show was on for a million years.

Guess I should have kept watching TV after my kids were born.

Well, take my word for it. One way to know that a show has jumped the shark is when the best/highest paid/most talented/largest breasted actors flee.

And in that vein, it is worth noting two defections from RedDot:

• Darren Guarnaccia, RedDot Vice President of Marketing and former RedDot Director of Technology jumped to competing vendor SiteCore in June 2007. The press release notes “Darren was instrumental in leading the growth of RedDot from a small start up to a global Web Content Management System (CMS) company.” He “contributed significantly to the product strategy and vision at RedDot.” Hmm. Strange that, with that pedigree, he’d flee. Or maybe he knows something we don’t.

• Guy Schneider, former RedDot Director of Sales for the West, left for direct competitor Tridion (before the SDL acquisition.) As I hear it, he left because he wasn’t willing to live with the “positioning” – you and I would call it lying – that RedDot was pursuing.

So when is the last time you watched Dukes of Hazzard, Three’s Company or Happy Days? Never? Funny – that the same time you should consider purchasing RedDot.
