Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

As Massive Recession Looms…

Companies need to get back to business strategies not woke ones.

  1. you don’t need social ambassadors for every group. Have one for the entire company if you must
  2. focus on technical excellence
  3. chop leadership layers and have a manager a director and a VP. No Sr roles just those 3
  4. hire and pay for good engineers removing titles like Tech Lead III. You are an engineer or in management, thats it
  5. profit driven results only. nothing else matters. make every decision based on results only.

They have been saying we’re going into a recession “very soon” for the last year and a half. At this point I don’t think anyone knows what the he-l they’re taking about.

It's interesting many companies are talking up a recession while they're actually still getting great financial results. This is financial engineering from the very top. Do the math...

  1. focus on technical excellence exit any business involving software

After nearly 40 years they still can’t develop it or license it effectively.

Social ambassadors are just the like the political commissars found in the Soviet army during the Communist revolution. They were responsible for the political education, ensuring ideological purity, of the unit to which they are assigned, with the intention of ensuring political control of the military.

Woke is a Fox news word. I'll leave it at that.

Because Chuck is simply trying to manage Cisco's decline, he needs something to distract the employees from the obvious lack of common sense in the technical and business decisions being made. He embraced wokeness because it allowed him to virtue signal his wonderfulness as he continues to lay thousands of Cisco employees off each and every year.

As Sam Bankman Fried said, "I feel bad for those who get f---ed by it - by this d-mb game we woke westerners play where we say all the right shibboleths and so everyone likes us."

It's simply so much easier to declare oneself as being woke as opposed to actually adding value. Unfortunately for those believing their woke declaration was sufficient, reality has arrived.

Woke has destroyed several businesses. OP is correct, it is time to get back to business instead of trying to satisfy all the woke agendas out there. Lead and not follow.

That sounds too rational to be accomplished.
