Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Cisco could have made $1.4B Per year at 5% Interest Instead of Paying $28B in Cash For Splunk

Lots of jobs could have been saved if CEO Chuck and CFO Scott cared about anyone but their paychecks

We had almost $30B in the bank before we bought Splunk.

Sure, but that would have tanked Cisco stock.

"Hey guys, we're just going to park our capital in a 5% CD and let it ride. Yeah, no plans for the future or growth."

"Oh yeah - and all our numbers su-k. Sorry about that, maybe next quarter."

Splunk may pan out, or it may not, but it was probably just bought for the revenue numbers so we could hit projections.
