So, since this derivative lawsuit has hit the fan Cisco is doing the unthinkable to be able to get their bonus and please the board. They are hiring minorities specifically black people only to fire them once they get the numbers that they need. I heard a VP talking about it and it made me sick. I’m thinking of going to the Department of Justice because this isn’t right.

I also call BS on this post. Cisco discriminates mostly against one key demographic: AGE.
Go tell any group but HR. Your a-s will be fired for some dubious reason before you can blink.
Reminds me of the old quota affirmative action days. Companies all did this. Hired a shitload of bl---s and other minorities only to fire them for BS reasons.
Whenever they tie a bonus to bring women and minorities to the workforce this is the result.
Totally believable and typical of Cisco leaders to talk down about others below them.
I call total BS on this one. If nothing else, it doesn't pay to be a white, middle aged or nearing end of career male at cisco. Anything else puts you at the top of the heap, no matter what. "I heard a VP talking about it" really? Where, the office? On the phone with a bunch of others that would corroborate the story? That guy would have been fired in 30 minutes if someone reported it. That is unless you are anything other than a white, middle aged male. Then it's a promo and raise all in the name of diversity. Did I call BS on this one yet?
It’s only nonsense to those not adversely affected by racism. Just tell the bl---s to get over it. Problem solved.
This original is just pure nonsense. SMH.
I don’t think this is a fake post. OP if you have proof go the EEOC Cisco just got busted in California for systemic racism and had to pay back millions. Now it seems they didn’t learn their lesson.
By the way get a lawyer!
Age discrimination, gender discrimination, race discrimination. What group is left for Cisco to discriminate against?
Here comes another lawsuit
A lot of bl---s getting internal promotions in mass numbers I wonder what quarter will be there last
I knew it. Chuck’s political woke BS is a scam. He’s nothing but a conman right along with his cronies.
I find this to be cruel. Enticing, recruiting and pursuing a candidate only to disrupt their lives and fire them? Utterly Disgusting
does anyone believe this post?
I heard a business owner last night admit that SHE doesn’t hire women for entry level jobs because she needs men in low-paying roles to even out her pay-gap statistics. I’ve said for years this would be the result of this policy, but it was still shocking to hear somebody admit it. And I don’t blame her. Good luck to all those early in career women.
Depends on whether the "role" was created to distract from our decline. Talking about diversity is a lot better for executives than cloud or software sales.
Anyone hired for any reason other than that "they're the best candidate for the job" is probably not long for the role.
Unless you can reliably document what you are saying, it's simply your opinion. Stick to facts?
Wow what will they think of next. Not surprised.
