I don’t know how to convey to manager and he seems like prefer old timers. The old timers steal work and show as if everything was done them
Horrible culture

The same personality-type that steals PowerPoint slides as "their own", is the same personality-type that has been just helping themselves to whatever isn't bolted down or locked up over the places they have visited over the years (hotels, guest rentals, etc).
I'm special. I'm important. I am entitled. Mine.
Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.
Not just old timers .. experienced that from contractor that use to be on our team re: asking for content then presenting as their own in a team meeting. After 1st time that happened to me (when I was new to the team) didn't play that game, and would only meet briefly ( 10 min or less) as needed.They were finally managed out after change of management - phew!
Try make to sure your work is recognized and you are the expert as much as possible. Good luck.

Sooner or later, every professional is likely to experience what you're reporting at some point in their career. I've had folks "steal" content I created and present it as if it was theirs. This almost always backfires on them. During a presentation, someone is going to ask the question the imposter can't answer. Or someone is going to ask the imposter to implement a new feature she can't develop. Or better yet: do like I did. Be the one to ask that tough question as the imposter is presenting your material. It's load of fun!
I'm thinking the old timers probably have better grammar than you do.
I agree, you CAN leave whenever you'd LIKE, you're not a slave.
For the person who responded with "Losing health insurance and the ability to buy food", that's the issue you have to deal with when you're suddenly fired, or LR'd, not choosing to leave, unless you're to s-t-u-p-i-d to line up another job BEFORE you quit.
First, it's always easiest to find a new job while you have a job. Right now, with everyone at Cisco working from home, it's super easy to interview for new jobs. You don't have to take phone interview calls in a conf room or in the parking lot. You don't have to worry about changing into professional clothes and being seen if you've got to go to an in-person interview. AND, there are plenty of companies hiring right now with a lot of them remote work.
Granted, losing your health insurance for a brief period of time if the new employer doesn't offer benefits on day one is a problem, but if you really had to , you could use COBRA in the US to get you to the new job's health insurance start date.
If having the ability to buy food and keeping your health insurance is so important to you, you SHOULD be leaving Cisco NOW. While Cisco gives a much better severance package than many big companies and every small company, having a hard deadline to find a new job to restart the income flow and paying for COBRA to keep your insurance active until the new job's benefits start is scary. I'll be the first to admit that I've had to involuntarily switch jobs due to a lay off, and many of the companies I've worked at barely offered more than 2-weeks pay making things very difficult for you to get back on your feet before the money runs out. If you're not comfortable with your ability to find a new job so you can buy food and keep insurance in the 4+ months that Cisco provides as a severance package, you'd better be looking for a new job NOW. Research the new company to make sure they haven't had lay offs, and if they have, what their packages looked like before you take an offer because you might just jump from the frying pan into the fire.
Never experienced that. Just the opposite. Folks trying to do as little as possible while others were working insane hours.
Maybe you are on the bottom 5% and should be worried? If you are an h1b I'm good with you losing it.
"You can leave whenever you'd like, you're not a slave."
Losing health insurance and the ability to buy food
You can leave whenever you'd like, you're not a slave.
They also seem to be stealing your grammatical skills...
