I remember years ago Chambers took the whole executive team fishing during layoff week in order to protect the team from anyone who decided to go postal.
Anyone been invited fishing with Chuck ? :-)

one of the more bizarre things i ever saw was a circle of execs who took their socks off and put their feet up together in a circle. employees had to answer a online contest to guess which feet belonged to which exec. people at a certain BU will remember that....from about 18 months ago...
Chuck doesn't do fishing, since it's not "inclusive" - like golf
Hi everyone. Chuck, John, Kelly all here with the ELT. Fishing fantastic. We invited Mario, but he said he had "other fish to fry". Looking forward to saving a fortune getting rid of all you old, expensive, over-qualified folks. What we need is good old fashioned, cheap, young, impressionable, maleable employees. Subject Matter Experts need not apply. We know how to fish, and when you add some chips, we can make a real meal of it. Watch us over the next few months and years - we'll make Cisco even better than it was after the dot.com crash. You'll see. Or maybe you wont. Because I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, Big Hoss. Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I've learned after 21 years - you never know what is gonna come through that door.
...and with Cisco, you never know what's gonna come through that door too...
I'm not going fishing but chuk did send me a 1:1 invite in Outlook. Should I be nervous?
