Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

May 2024 Beat

Should go something like this:

Cringe Chuck intro with Gary
Fran taking about woke Initiatives
Scott explaining why Y/Y decline in revenue is actually good
Random ELTs explaining why other ELT members are amazing
5 minutes for curated questions
Cringe Fran outro

The psychobabble ELT stock ramblings proceed forward, like p00p flowing from the butt0cks

Scott sure did a lot of tap dancing regarding the stock price. Frankly I'm very happy he had a terrible "day for me" on Monday talking to investors in Boston. He has no problem laying people off and is following through on what past CFO's wouldn't when it comes to peoples lives. He had the day he deserves.

CR said something about investors expecting a bigger reduction in OPEX due to the Splunk acquisition. He then pretended that he disagreed with this and said something like he wants to make sure we do the integration of Splunk right and fire on cylinders.

He is just putting on a show. When the next round of "Last Resort" LRs are announced he will try to tell us that he did everything he could to prevent it.

I mean you spend 28 billion dollars on an acquisition. Investors are bound to ask when and how they will make 2x 3x for their investments. It's not a growth stock

I thought it was refreshing how many people were jamming them up on how trash the stock has been for the last few years. There obviously is a disconnect.

@rol+1sDBJkFK Does Chuck actually believe what Jeetu is feeding him?

Jeetu - "our competitors are scrambling".

Is he seeing the magic quadrants for our security solutions? As a past consumer of some of the best security solutions in the market, I can guarantee you that Cisco is the one that's scrambling.

My take - Chuck is on his way out
Scott - sc--wed the numbers
Fran - talking Hypershield? What a joke
Carie - our CMO - who came up with Hypershield. No wonder she looked so unhappy.
Liz - she's next out I bet
Jeetu - how are you still employed here?
Gary - you got hosed - good luck!

A good summary. You forgot all the "Hi from NY", Hi from LA" messages as well as "wow Chuck/Fran/Liz you look great" fawning kiss-up messages.

You missed the part of all the kisser ups saying isn’t CR, Fran etc so …insert any blatant phoney line that they type on the webchat.
I guess mostly hoping they get noticed so they don’t get fired in the next LR.
