Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

C Isco should have owned the cloud but instead the cloud owned Cisco …

Why you still there then?

• Cisco's quality has su-ked for 30 years which is why it acquired that entire time
• Having four broken operating systems made of cut and pasted code smeared across hundreds to thousands of branches at various times should be a business school course in how to waste engineering millennia annually
• If Cisco had software engineers with simple programming skills they wouldn't have to spend most of their development dollars on bug fixing
• The waste in software development falls more on the worker bees as well as failed technical and managerial leadership than the ELT
• Using layoffs as often as quarterly to cover up bad management goes back 23 years
• The only time anyone considered Cisco great is when their stock far exceeded their salary, and that largely ended 24 years ago
• Most here can't understand customers pay to have problems solved, not for words like "cloud" or "AI"
• Chambers dropped the stock from $82 to just over $8 and ended at $25 15 years after it was $82
• Stop acting like all the above started with Chuck

Yep, the good ol' days are long gone! I'm talkin' mid-late 90s.

Individual contributors are used as pawns to management. Every men for himself mentality.
