Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

WTH 🤦

It’s maddening how toxic this place is. So many layoffs, no budgets for promotions raises etc. everyone is just so burned out in my org. Layoff after layoff, doing more with less. Meanwhile, record sales and the company livestreams GSX to all of us poors. Sales, product and engineering are all crutial parts of a business but it’s clearly a sales-over-everything business.

But we are "working at the intersection of cross-collateralization and blue-sky thinking. It's like dovetailed synergies."

Lmao who falls for this bullsh-t verbal diarrhea - or worse uses it. Nobody in the real world talks like this. Nobody.

NINETY THOUSAND humans with a large percentage doing what exactly.

Sending emails?
Creating slides for powerpoint?

5% are actual workers are technical and produce something tied to revenue. Are billable.

Why do you need 3/4 of a company doing powerpoint? Making a spreadsheet on Excel? Scheduling a "meeting" ?

Lmao you've got to be kidding - this is all automated now. Arista knows this, hence leading the lean pack.

I wouldn't pay a one armed blind monkey $2 a day to do this let alone a person $200k/year. Holy sh-t that's absurd.

@dd I just know you're the a-s kisser on your team that everyone hates. You'd probably lick the mud off of chuck's golf shoes if he asked you to. Pathetic

GSX was awesome. You guys need to get onboard or GTFO. This rocket does not carry clowns. Exciting times

Failed leadership and failed strategy.

Splunk acquisition of $28B dollars was the biggest loss of money for Cisco. All the board and management should be held accountable and many should be fired including CR.

And the organization that works closely with customers and deploys Cisco solutions is most ignored and abused. Cisco CX or customer experience as it’s called, is at sales folks mercy. CX is at bottom of totem pole and the food chain.
