Management is constantly demanding more without ever bothering to offer the resources needed to get the job done. No matter how hard we work, it's never enough to meet their sky-high expectations. It's exhausting. On top of that, feedback is always unclear or missing altogether.

Or ignored by totally the narcissists that are given the input. There's a glaring omission.
As you stay longer, you earn more, and become a target to offload, PIP and LR. Don’t ask for raises and promotions and hang low!!! Survivor of the cheapest 🤣
“ Cisco is full of old timers coasting” - just the opposite - old timers that knew how to get things done are LRed and replaced by new folks that are clueless
It's been getting worse - some new "project" from some "director without portfolio" who has no reports and zero budget. You get an invite to a kickoff meeting to get "super excited" over some new brain-dead scheme. Where you get a bundle of new action items on impossible timescales.
What happens? Over time, fewer people turn up for meetings, no action items are completed, nobody follows up, and eventually it dies a quiet death. Until 9 months later, it starts again chasing a new moon beam.
That's what more means! (An up vote for anyone who gets the reference.)
At this point even if there are people left who once knew how to do things more effectively, that knowledge has long been lost and everyone thinks that creating a few hours of product for every 80 hours worked is as good as can be done. Unless you can implement a systemic solution to this expect it to continue to get worse.
these posts are crazy, Cisco is full of old timers coasting
ALL ROADS LEAD TO PIP AND LR.
