Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Quiet quitting

3 years ago I decided to quiet quit and then skate along
I thought that it was only a matter of time before I get fired for taking advantage of the system to the max.
I started preparing for the job hunting phase again as I fully expected to get sacked in the matter of months...

Here I am today, still doing sweet FA with an IPF of 1.2
And by doing sweet FA, I mean promoting absolute slop and waiting for chatgpt to finish doing its thing for 20-25 hour weeks MAX

How is this possible?

How have I not been fired, put on a PIP or even warned verbally?

I’m so proud of you! Keep up the good work! I left and wished I’d done more of that. Take it for all you can! I divested my stock.

@b8 Amen! After this Q1, company morale is down greatly due to lack of raises, promotions, and general appreciation. We've all realized how much we're being taken advantage of.

You’re not much different from others that are waiting for slop to finish. If your slop doesn’t affect many downstream then your manager is clueless about it or couldn’t care less.

managers have become sloppy too - too focused on moving their A game to sharing laughs in social interactions with their peers and others to pay attention to the team member output.

Because you’re in the special needs program. Cisco try to accommodate those with handicaps like ret4rdation

You and your family must be proud. You set a great example for them.

Cannot quite quit. Learn as much as possible and jump to another company for 20-25% pay raise. I am being taken advantage by paying me less and no good pay raise. Many Cisco employees suffer and all the pay raise is given to well connected engineers and upper management.
