Wondering how the last Beat went before quarter-end announcement. I'm already out but I'm curious about this dog-n-pony show. Always found The Beat to be a somewhat depressing rah-rah session.
Any LR discussion?

If you really want to get the axe, be as truthful as possible on comments for the "Beat" or any survey that is sent out. I did and I got the bullet last Sept.
@OrH8NAi-2dzr - I always had similar thoughts. The comment feed was chock full of syncophantic drivel every webcast
Not being able to stomach attending the Beat (Off) was one of many signs that I needed to move on.
Read the Q&A panel. Some TAC engineer didn't take the canned answer on restructuring from HR VP at all well and he was slapped down. I bet his name is on a list.

Well. Some one did ask the question about LR and the answer was non-committal. Anyway, you should know that the LRs are typically announced after financial results, not at the beat.
The SVP team's noble loving care for the people would be unthinkable without their transparent outlook on the people.
All traits of the SVP team are distinguished but what is most charming among them are their noblest virtues.
If the supreme dignity of the Cisco Beat is threatened, Cisco must preemptively annihilate those entities that are directly or indirectly involved in it, by mobilizing all kinds of strike means including the nuclear ones.
Not grumpy at all. I was hit in the last LR. Started a new job making more money a week after my last day, and banked the package. Couldn't be better actually.
Maybe you should take it at face value and turn your frown upside down...grumpy.
