Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Cisco is doomed

Thankfully I was fired this week. The job had become a nightmare, getting up in the morning was really hard, getting to work was a burden, having fun at work was old history and my passion for the work was lost and I felt burned by the short term focus of this company. I had to watch my back all the time from a corrupt manager who only cares for booking orders and does not observe the compliance policies.

It's incredible how this happens all the time and nobody from the upper management does nothing. They only care about cashing the commissions. This constant behavior and the lack of focus and strategy from the leadership team will bring Cisco down.

Cisco is also utilizing cheap American labor. Lets just say we do not have the toughest hiring standards.

@jfv : one good thing, everywhere ..the quality of work has dropped ( whatever the reason you give). So it is just easy to do the job in an outside company which does not have any layoffs.

The downhill trend started with the influx of cheap H1Bs from India and cheap labour there. Quality and innovation went out the door as all that matters now is cost.

This: "Cicso wants what you do, for literally 50% of what you are worth to the current market."

Truth.

This.

You excel, but feel a guillotine above your head at all times.

And then; despite you kicking-arse, you get LR'd.

It's not performance-driven.

It's your age and your experience.

You were dumb.

You joined a company and did awesome work, got promoted and raises, b/c you were doing what you thought Cisco needed and wanted.

Wrong.

Cicso wants what you do, for literally 50% of what you are worth to the current market.

They used to brag that they could pay the 70th percentile, just b/c you'd have Cisco on your resume.

Those days are over, and they just can't bring themselves to admit it.

They still offer jobs at compensation levels far below market value, b/c they still think themselves a king of industry.

That ship sailed long, long ago.
