Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Own It...... Just not the stock ;)

So far pretty standard. Same old picking out the stats that hide the reality and overhyping solutions and partnerships like they are revolutionary, when they're more evolutionary. Still clearly trying to buy our way out of trouble.

DC looks like he's aged 10 years since the last one and upped his alcohol intake considerably.

CR looks pretty tired too and the top job isn't doing him much good physically.

Can't help feeling that everyone is pretending there is nothing wrong.

Thought I'd start this feed for others to share their views.

The sessions are ok. Lots of old timers hugging it out with other old timers amazed they are still here given the mandate to remove older employees. They all have a form of ptsd. I overhear a lot of conversations and it's a grind. But it's our grind. We Own It. We love be the colour orange.

Actually, other than the opening session it's been pretty good this year.

Session quality has significantly improved. In some areas we have new products and solutions and in others significantly improved offers. Having not wanted to be here at all this year I will leave in a quite positive frame of mind. Most people that I've talked to think the same.

Some people just want to moan and whine. Good luck to them, I hope you are happy in your misery.

GSX: Powered by LR'd salaries.

Maybe Bon Jovi, or whoever is going to perform this year, can perform a LR tribute song.

It's a sinking ship and if we could leave, we would. But we sell legacy HW and no one will hire us because all the other legacy HW firms are sinking next to us. So why not just hang on until the last person leaves and turns out the lights. We still make 250k plus, startups can't pay that. Enjoy it while it lasts.
