Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

@IUEYfqP-ety: Yup and so do the Chinese and rest of the South and South East Asians. To be fair, why blame just Indians.

Google this: "indian cheating on exams", then click on images. You will loads of Indians cheating on their final exams, many being assisted by their older siblings or paid senior university students. What do you expect from people who cheated on their exams.

With all due respect, we could probably get to a 15K LR number if Chuck mandated that all Cisco employees had to compile and submit a business plan summary consisting of three paragraphs and forward them to Chuck's Executive stable.

The caveat; it must be in English, must be coherent and contain less than 5 typos and grammatical errors.

The author may be trying to make a point here. Chuck's board of directors maybe really bored by now with the number of re-orgs in the company!!

Seriously questionable writing skills. "Bored of directors"? That shows the holes in Cisco hiring process. Hiring the folks who cannot even write one paragraph with proper sentences. No wonder Cisco is down the drain.

The list has already been submitted. VPs and above have earmuffs on for the next few weeks until the smoke clears.

@ rrr, yes, questionsble writing skills. strunk and white's "element of style" should be required reading for all employees.

"bored" of directors? Please give me a break... After going through the posts here, I am wondering how come so many Cisco folks cannot spell and/or write grammatically correct text. Aren't we supposed to be smart?

SPs don't like our small cell so ya probably that. SPs don't like our cloud strategy because it's vendor lock-in so there's that. I could go on a rant on the sp cloud but I won't. Hoping for the package so I can take my wares to a startup and do the same thing without the politics.

Mate, if Cisco were to close all "past tech" layoffs and divestitures would impact at least 30k people.

Waste of time. If you think the product is valuable and Cisco closes it, then do a start-up, you'll make a bundle than staying in Cisco and go through this each year. I am afraid it's past tech and that's why Cisco cuts it...
