People hang out on this board because they’ve been badly hurt by Cisco and their fellow employees. Cisco has become a very toxic environment, even leading, which are normally good employees and treating those like they don’t matter we obviously do not matter Cisco. It’s painful and some of us just read this with tears and I’ll get a little bit of hope the fact that other people are in the same boat as we are, and we’re not the only ones we don’t wish this on anyone, but at least give some reassurance that those other people that are standing by our side and the issue wasn’t us. It’s that toxic company that Cisco has become.
Liz and Fran are just two of the several cancers that is slowly and relentlessly taking away Cisco’s lifeblood. Others bring the likes of JP, some VPs …right down to the level of the worthless UKI management … sales and SE teams.
Why do people still attend these things instead of focusing on learning and resume building?
Good question. Another question: why do people hang out on thelayoff.com instead of focusing on learning and resume building?

I think by remote 2 days a week she meant Saturday and Sunday
ITS ABOUT THE POWER OF THE PLATFORM. WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND!
While Fran will continue to work from her mansion
Just watched the replay.
Where Fran says “We have to make Yaris work for us to continue this level of flexibility that we have. … We also know that when we think about how we work, it has to start with the work and the team and the needs of the team. Recently I’ve heard that teams are hesitating to ask maybe folks to come in on the same days to get work done and I guess what I would say is we have to make it work and I think as teams, we need to have conversations around how we’re at our best. For some teams that may mean coming in 3, 4, 5 days a week, for other teams that may be continuing to be fully remote 2 days a week.”
I’m sorry, Fran, but was that a Freudian Slip? Even Business majors know enough math to know only 2 days remote means 3 days in the office!
Many teams are 75% in states w/ no Cisco offices. How are they coming into the office? In my management chain, there’s no one in a city w/ Cisco offices until you get to the SVP level. Some of them will make a business trip to the neatest Cisco office for all-hands meetings when they have to sit on a stage & answer questions, but other than that they’re not in the office.
How can the SVP, Chief Marketing Officer, think that the phrase “Ties our portfolio together so that 1 + 1 = 3, making Cisco more understandable, memorable, & differentiated.” about One Cisco is a good sales point.
The phrase “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” is what they were going for, but to present it as a math equation that’s WRONG is stupid!
Go Carrie Palin! Make Cisco look smart.
It literally felt like a sales call or something. Total waste of time.
salty
both are dangerous phonies
Re Liz being a fruit cake, I agree with you but provide the detail - they just might be appreciative of the tangible feedback.
Liz is a fruitcake and a certified id--t. Customers won't even talk to her any more because sounds so unreal, fake and totally out of touch. She has no technical acumen at all and has wrecked Cisco with her serial poisonous acquisitions. I cannot honestly fathom why a tech company would have HER at the level that she is at. It's beyond ridiculous.
