It appears the plan moving forward is to cut 10,000 jobs per year in sync with 10% annual decline in revenue...

Look up the "vitality curve." You might also know it as "stack ranking" or "rank and yank." The point is to fire the bottom 10% each year and reward the top 20%. Chambers first brought it into Cisco to fire the bottom 5%.

If you look at the overall body count Cisco tends to grow back to its pre-layoff size pretty quickly so it's not about shrinking the company over time.

He did exactly what the BoD pays him obscenely to do. And the BoD reports to BlackRock.

"How can the board still support him?"

Because he gives them lots of stock and they are soulless monsters just like him.

Hopefully even the naive Cisco rookies can understand what a fake liar Chuck has been for the past decade

The Cisco Board could've hired a trained monkey to watch the decline of the Cisco networking business and then make a massive, risky acquisition of a declining software company on his way out the door.

How can the board possibly justify that kind of compensation when faced with this undeniable level of failure by Chuck Robbins

Don't invest your time in a company that you wouldn't want to invest your money. If you were investing in stock, would you put Cisco at the top of your list? It's a gut check everyone should go through. Losing money is painful. Losing time is unrecoverable.

WTF?-Chuck Robbins made close to $32 million in total executive compensation during 2023 and is expected to top that in 2024 with declining revenue and profits
