…because the power structure in every other company and every government and every other collection of people always behaves optimally and altruistically! If only it was possible to leave Cisco and ride unicorns over rainbows while eating pizza like everyone else…
Do they not teach “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (the TV series) in college anymore? “It’s about power.” Learn it. Deal with it.
Exhibit 1: Javed Khan. He’s had like 7 layoffs in his watch in Collaboration while we continue to lose market share.
