Yes, Cisco always follows Broadcom CEO orders!
@1bwr+1rh7MMti, in RTP, there are 12 buildings. Only 3 are "open" with a 4th being used by a restricted access team. That leaves 8 buildings that are "closed" except for access to labs within them. All other access to those 8 buildings is restricted. So, sure, RTP is "open", but there's very little space available for everyone in the RTP metro area to come back to work.
I think Cisco is finding it cheaper to not run the HVAC and pay for housekeeping in those buildings and instead just pay their local employees $35/mo in Internet service expense reimbursement instead of paying for the electrical bill to keep those buildings at a suitable temp for working in. Plus, we get to pay for our own HVAC & electrical costs since we work from home now.
@fww+1rh7MMti Closed the offices to whom exactly? Those locations are open…
I notice CR is in Europe this week for further work travel. He should focus some of that budget so that we can travel to meet customers.
Our competitors are out meeting customers regularly and probably explains why many are doing better than us.
How? They've closed all the offices from Chicago to San Jose....not sure on the East side...there is nowhere for employees/partners or customers to go meet...maybe thats why revenue is down? Actions have consequences.
