cisco can justify sending the same old people presenting the same old regurgitated garbage

It’s about giving the BU execs a free week in LV. The people who do presentations for the BU all year to customers don’t get to go, so the execs find some PM/TME slide deck to present. But it’s really to give them a freebie

90% of the AM+SE community is male. Talk about not knowing your customer. Couldn't name one Pink song.

Where is Diversity & Inclusion in this? Why not invite rappers like 50cent, Jay-Z, A$AP Rocky, Cardi B, Snoop Dogg, etc. I thought Chuck was a woke CEO.

It’s all a tax write-off.

Gerry said Pink was her favorite performer at a sales meeting a few years ago.
Now she gets a front row seat.

Well, cisco can justify sending the same old people presenting the same old regurgitated garbage at live. A good number of the presenters have zero knowledge other than how to parrot a presentation and to work the attendees for high survey scores so they can come back the next time with even more mindless blathering. Paying $1M for a washed up hack is about right. They give 10-15x that to the ELT who have even less talent.

LOL paying Pink that kind of money to perform in the year 2022?!! Was she a last minute replacement after Nelly demanded $20 million?

So Chuck and Fran can have a selfie with Pink.

Chuck plays golf regularly at exclusive golf clubs and has plenty of rich famous people in his rolodex. He doesn't have to pay performers to do performances for Cisco just to get selfies with them. That's just one of the perks of being a rich CEO of a huge, global company.

Pink? Pink Floyd?

All and all we are just another LR'd brick in the wall.

Can't wait to see a quality star like Pink. Way better than Aerosmith or Bon Jovi. Will it be real or auto-tuned?

Ah, what a wonderful thing being part of the Sales org. Still have a hangover. I feel sorry for you peasants in Engineering, TAC, Service and all the other boring BUs out there.

it will be great to announce terrible earnings, layoffs and then have media get a hold of Pink concert costs. these executives are useless and clueless when it comes to optics. terrible look for the brand! I see execs across company traveling globally for bullsh%% reasons. a little too late to reverse the mess they have created by their pathetic leadership.

Cost of PINK is closer to $10 Million when you include her band, security and the rest of her entourage
Don't forget Cisco pays for her private jet transport, etc
Still a drop in the bucket compared to sales guy's $100M+ expense reports at the most expensive restaurants and bars in Vegas

The ELT is just feasting on the carcass of a behemoth resting on its death bed.

It's a distraction. Focus on musical performances and sales meetings instead of our product offerings. Also never look into the compensation of the ELT compared to their performance... but please bring up Pink, wasteful meetings, or argue about politics

It’s stupid but just a drop in the bucket compared to the total money wasted on Impact overall.

How did they justify the costs of a luxury cruise ship moored in Rio de Janero during the Olympics there to host parties and events? That was before they were able to repatriate part of the 56 billion $US cash that was parked in Switzerland... where did that all go?
