And I believe all lives matter. BLM, Asian lives matter too. God made us one and all. I believe that with all my heart.
But on the matter of money, did Cisco give money to social justice charity and political charity?
I heard that one person on charge of one of these charity was purchase homes , millions of dollars worth of real estate purchase. I can't even afford to purchase as a silicon valley executive.
Was Cisco complicit in giving money to charity?
Realize your company (and many other competitors) are corporate monarchies.
It matters not what your idealistic view is. You have no choice what they do with their money. It doesn’t matter that you work hard and personally invest your life here. It’s up to the monarchy’s desires whether or not your head goes on their guillotine. If your monarchy makes bad financial decisions, your head may get put on the guillotine to attempt to fix their faults. You have 4 choices.
Company loyalty and personal investment other than for your own career aspirations is a fools game. Do a good job if that’s within your character and who you are. But I wouldn’t waste heartache complaining about those that don’t. Individual performance doesn’t matter. Collective performance does. But even if all performed well, greed would be cause of heads on the guillotine. Your monarchy views you all as a resource and a stat on a spreadsheet. Nothing more, nothing less.
Serious respectful comment:
Social causes are important.
Supporting them is important.
I do not however yet understand any correlation of support messaging on influencing customer technology platform purchase choice; especially on big budget multi-year budget infrastructure decisions.
Help me understand.
Chuckie uses Cisco's money as his personal charity. Think about the $100s of millions of dollars that could have been used to develop new products or be invested in the early in career employees or used for college scholarships for STEM students and the many other uses that are not Chuckie's pet woke feel good projects. Chuckie and the ELT has reaped mega millions from Cisco that could be used for their pet products not shareholder money.
This post is designed to be a sh-t starter. Grow up and do something productive with your life. Don’t try to get others to fall into your biases.
As an executive you must be bad with your $$, over extended, have bad credit, be a compulsive gambler, abuse dr-gs or alcohol or buy prostitutes etc., if you can’t buy a home on an executive salary and that sounds like a personal problem not a Cisco problem and it’s damn sure not an US or WE problem it’s a YOU problem. Get your money right man.

law abiding lives matter to me
