Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

After 30 years in the industry, I’ve learned one thing: regardless of whether it’s an intern, if they demonstrate potential and their work is relevant and skills are exceptional, I’ll support them, no matter their background.

@eh gets a tons of like here.

it tells you a lot.

it tells a story of frustration, selling out, and replacement.

ths y eye woks 2hr in every day fkn krazy 2 woks mores

@dv us? who is that? .eets from 3rd world took it over? grow up you a.. you wh-t. people are cooked man. soon you will find your kids on streets begging or dr-gged up.

what the f..k are these people doing? csco has legacy(30year old) software and these 19 year old know nothing about it.. YO we need jobs for our kin... shut up!!

first LR papa/mama parasite .. everything will get fixed by itself.

@cg the entitlement you are referring to is way more prevalent in Millennials rather than GenZ imho

Did ops get cold shoulder by interns currently? Another factor now was a lot of CISCO US interns came from high-level connection backgrounds. Those kids grew up in an environment everything was available for them if they asked. Majority of them were convinced by their parents that they will be the next big shots so they aimed very high. Like what projects they want to work on, even how to. They were hanging around those highly politized DE/PE/CTOs. If LMs did not agree - then can go t their Daddy/Mommy to grumble on old thinking etc.. If I am a "leader" in CISCO, I will try my best to avoid them all together. Their attitudes were problematic and you know what - their parents often arrange Angle funds for them to start up after internship. Many of them don't give a dime about what LMs think of them. It is a different situation all together.

@bc yeah don't you know on your deathbed when you're looking up you want to remember sitting in the grey room to show how committed you were to growth!!!

Forget Gen Z, ask why Gen X and Millennials continue to be bootlickers at a company that underpays, undervalues, lays off randomly, shuts down career growth...

I started doing hardware and software development in the 1970s and even back then only a relatively small percentage actually cared to keep learning and continually improve. Back then at a large company when the clock struck 5pm people would flood out of the building like rats fleeing a ship.

They were sold "the promise" but it broke MUCH earlier in their careers. Watch their parents struggle and said F THAT! I agree. I don't blame them at all.
