Unfortunately, Cisco is focusing more and more on useless topics such as "diversity & inclusion" instead of shaping the organization efficiently for the future. There are too many useless manager positions, which a lot seem to be created only to artificially increase the female quota in management positions.
The Security and Collaboration BU's are unbeatable in terms of disorganization; a total chaos. Webex is losing more and more against MSFT and others Cisco is still not perceived as a security vendor in the market - and if it is, then negatively because of the firewall fiasco. When will Cisco regain its former innovative spirit?

@dkp+1r5iFyoS - 20 years ago when you were 30 and grinding it out. Now you are 50 and your productivity has suffered immensely.
chimps can't innovate

Enough with the whiny 40 year old virgins. Cisco is a legacy company that doesn't know how to do development which is why they've been acquiring for 30 years. While they dabble in other areas, routing and switching are still the core of the company and with four broken operating systems forming a technical debt noose around the entire company you are losing market share to ancient and far smaller peers who don't bear this burden. Those mistakes were made by non-DEI personnel ages ago, and those non-DEI personnel didn't do anything to correct it in the decades that followed.
Since when Cisco was ever an innovation company? It's always been a sales company.
