Focus on innovation
Getting into cloud business
I sent mail to all ELT members including CEO
Cisco should stop giving mid term RSUs and hikes until market recovers. This what NVIDIA , apple and many other companies are doing and remaining all it
Whoever is not ready for this should look outside opportunities
Whoever thinks Cisco paying LESS also should look outside opportunities
Cisco could absolutely not compete in cloud. They are like at least a decade behind the competition.
As stated nearing an infinite number of times, IBM and Oracle have the systems, scaling and application experience that Cisco never had and they have tiny single digit shares of cloud.
I gave your reply an upvote but it's not simply a matter of time. A decade of focused effort would likely yield nothing because the cloud is built on commodity equipment and being able to manage everything, and after decades Cisco couldn't manage their own equipment in house. As many have posted on this site over the years, the non-network IT is held together with bailing wire and chewing gum and if the person with the gum leaves the associated services require a massive effort to stabilize. This is not a viable foundation for cloud.
As for salary cuts, the code I checked in worked and when I checked it years later it was unchanged, so it provided sufficient functionality, performance and quality the first time. Given that most produce cr-p which needs most of the development budget to fail in the attempts to "fix" why should I and my family suffer to pay for people wasting my time helping them fix their code instead of allowing me to do new quality work? The world isn't just performers and deadwood, it's those that are net negative in their total contribution far beyond just the salary Cisco loses on each piece of deadwood. Cisco has far more net negative contributors than anyone is willing to acknowledge.

It is better if people leave and find another job instead of everyone staying and suffering. This place is already a dump and you want to cut everyone's salaries.
People who leave voluntarily or otherwise almost always end up at a better place/job because this is rock bottom and the only way is up from here.
Great idea. You save 20 jobs
Cut all useless ELT salary
Low IQ take
He-l no I’m not giving up my salary, bonus, and RSUs to support deadwood like you.
It is amazing that anyone would want to continue working at Cisco and sacrifice their family's well being with the weakest management team in corporate America
"Whoever" writes in broken English, "should look outside opportunities"
Thank you for setting the direction of the company… getting into ‘cloud’?
Should we try and mimic aws
I hope you’re on the list.
