Layoff package is all I need

I was thinking of some options, but I would never agree to be part of some company like this again. On the other hand, I’m getting really bored here, so I barely do the minimum I have to. I thought I would be lucky to get the layoff package much... — read more 

Possible leases ending in SJC why not use LWR

Rumor about leases ending in SJC makes ya wonder why cisco doesn't move the gear to somewhere cheaper like LWR. I've heard that LWR has the cheapest sq ft cost and cheapest power cost. Why doesn't Cisco utilize the only campus they actually own. With... — read more

Do we even have a growth plan?

Does anybody else think that all the restructurings we've had in the past several years would have more credibility if there was a growth plan included there somewhere? As it stands now, the only thing all the restructurings do is reduce the number... — read more

This is all on this leadership

Cisco will survive as long as they can keep the Private equity firms away from them. That’s the whole reason for propping up the share price, paying dividends, trying to get the cash moving, otherwise they’re rich pickings for a leveraged buy out... — read more

About this used car salesman CEO and his incompetent cronies. Our company is being ran to the ground! We need an activist.
