I got the same bonus as a deadbeat performance issue. So much for sticking it out until the end to help out as opposed to disappearing - LRd because of position elimination may as well have said everyone was a performance issue. Csco su-ks from chuck down to sr directorship.

Number one rule at Cisco: NEVER assume anyone notices or cares, because they don’t. Cisco is the place where you can work all nights and day and weekend and no one will know, or care. Or you can find out the hard way.

You really want to sc--w up where you cost the company tens of millions of dollars in a single bad decision then claim you met the schedule even when the product doesn't do anything the project was supposed to accomplish. It was a guaranteed promotion for many. On the other hand if you take the time to come up with a lasting fix to a major failing you will be on the next LR/PIP list.
This is what happens when schedule is the sole metric.
soooo:
- you made an assumption about your performance vs your nemesis
- you assumed that your Mgr noticed and agreed
- you decided to ask your nemesis what his/her bonus was
- you concluded that cisco leadership su-ks because of your assumptions and discussing $ with your nemesis
- You failed to understand that perhaps your mgr is suggesting that you are also a 'performance issue'
Given the above, seems your manager is probably right, but we're all the hero in our own story, right?
