Offer rescinded

I just had a job offer rescinded. This has never happened to me before. I'm still in a state of shock and I'm just happy I didn't do anything rash, like quit ahead of time. Be careful, folks.

The lying Cisco culture

What loathes me is the lying Cisco culture. Cisco wants employees to be loyal, yet there is NO loyalty to employees. We are not Cisco, leadership is Cisco, as we got laid off! What a game of smoke and mirrors and deception leadership plays (Sr VPs... —  read more
