Because Chucky doesn’t sell and doesn’t get anything.

Recruited called and and first two rounds went well. Do you recommend this company or this will become another dumpster?

Chuck Robbins doesn't have the technical vision to lead CSCO. With him at the helm, CSCO plays perpetual catchup with the industry trends. They missed cloud network (Arista dominates that space). They missed video conferencing (Zoom was worth more... — read more 

From what was posted here on July 15 we will see the earnings. What is going to happen after that ? How long till they tell us that there will be more LRs (like we don't know already) and how long till they start doing it ?

Why would this board delete a Cisco LinkedIn post? https://www.linkedin.com/posts/cisco_ciscopride-activity-7207352893098577921-9kK7?utm_source=li_share&utm_content=feedcontent&utm_medium=g_mb_web&utm_campaign=copy

From Chuck's perspective, he personally makes $500 Million+ over 10 years without the added stress of creating shareholder value because of the RSU's. He just needed a few things 1) Mckinsey/Consultants to tell him what he needs to know, sound bites... — read more 

Some one commented Cisco is better than oracle, now look at OCI employees. They are going have quality horizontal time tonight.

Has anyone else been requested by Cisco HR not to contact past and current employees of Cisco ?

And the rest were sent packing through LR last couple years. Very sensible plan from Cisco to pay more to those selected hoping to cash on revenue. But no, it turned out to be just another bad decision by leadership like many before. With no revenue... — read more 

When all you do is buying and integrating with other companies, it becomes very difficult to manage, spending money buying is less than 50% of the efforts, integrating is headache, that’s why a company like Cisco has too many project managers who are... — read more

@nickrusso42518 has passed away - Big loss for his family, Cisco, and Networking community.

Just heard from EC on the CX All Hands, people from the GSSO what was so bad about her? I know there were som complaints. She seemed alright on the call right now.

Is it a common practice at companies to make employees take PTO for shutdown? It's crazy to me that between July and Dec this year Cisco is forcing us to use two weeks of PTO when they don't have that generous of a PTO policy to begin with. How do... — read more 

For 9 years. You won’t get anything bozo.

Its a piece of garbage. Whoever made that decision to acquire it, please fire them.

What is going on with CSCO? Massive decrease last Wednesday - why? and decrease ongoing today. Seems like investors are mistrusting the AI propaganda?

Anyone else thinks the new directory is a pile of sh*t... who designed and approved such garbage upgrade? It takes atleast 2 tries for the page to load with gazillion of redirects, blank pages like wtf...

Why is SBG so chaotic and toxic?

how ai ppt digestion going on at CL'24? make sure overheads learn something by spending each $5K corp money !!!

Splunk and AI has taken over Cisco CX delivery, and many CX managers would soon be obsolete and get cut. Q4 earning day is on target for next rounds of job cuts. Both GES and SP is on target to cut headcount and could see huge cuts.

there are more people in the mgmt role including BDMs, Managers, PMs, Directors etc in Cisco who stop engineers to build better products. I seriously don;t understand why they put so much effort to stop us building better products ? why ? why ?... — read more 

I’m hoping there is. But I suspect it would be better to evacuate this sinking ship. It’s so sad to watch a mediocre mgmt running company to the ground. It’s almost like that’s been the intention all along.

Chuck and his weak management team has ZERO credibility with the investor community

What’s the future of N9K, ACI looking like with the exit of the VP for PM and TME teams?

Is he as bad in front of customers as he is in internal meetings?

Why not Cisco ELT and HR looking into the Directors with less than 8 direct reports ? Those directors should be fired and consolidate the head count. It looks like a total filth crunching investors money and laying of engineers sincerely working on... — read more
