It's always amusing seeing Fran suddenly go quiet on LinkedIn when layoffs are announced, laying low, before she can return to posting about how people driven her company is

She is back on LinkedIn. I guess the dust has settled.
They took the Human out of Human Resources for a reason. They don't see us as human.
They gave us the Pavelka financial workshop and Mental Health Awareness month because they knew they were going to take our hard-earned money in an economy that demands more from us, and make it our problem.
the mental state of employees
It's just a gig to get their hippy, happy-clappy friends onto a $5,000 per day contract to sell Cisco the snake-oil of wellness, gratitude, and mental health... Besides that, it's just performative to give the illusion of caring.
The Queen of fake empathy...
This is one case where an AI-Agent would definitely do a much better job than a real person. Virtualize-Fran.
She should be banned from wearing her ridiculous Chanel necklaces if she won’t take a salary reduction after laying off this many people. Shameful
@aq nm. doesn't look like anyone from Cisco attended even though CR got an invite.
@aq i don't think CR went because of a schedule conflict, earnings call.
does anyone know if someone else from Cisco went in his absence?
Chuck has hired some very inept execs in the past eleven years but the one thing Cisco excels at is layoffs. It happens on schedule regardless of the state of the business. And all the talk of caring for employees is just that; talk. Once you receive the notice, based on the timing you lose your healthcare, life insurance and the income to provide for your family.
Then there is the talk of the mental state of employees. It is all a facade by Robbins and HR. I have seen many that were cut having great difficulty in dealing with the layoff. Having been there myself, I talk to them and encourage their effort in keeping whole and focusing on the next steps. Robbins may have been a passenger on Air Force One traveling to China this week but he is useless for your future.
The most disliked exec in Cisco....
how many times will she say "team" next week
