Work is an exchange of value. You are giving up time in exchange for money. The company can make more money. You however cannot fabricate more time. Act accordingly at all times in your self interest.

A company gets to be considered "first" if they put the employees "first". Cisco never puts employees first. My manager once told me to go to a regional site half way around the world......the day before one of my sons graduated from college. Of course I said no (besides, it was a total BS political trip). That region's VP called me personally to ask me why I said no (I was a low grade....no reason for a VP to call me). I ended up going the day after my son's graduation.....and then got LR'd 3 months later. And yeah, the trip was a total sh-tshow....I wasn't needed there. It was a just a political show. Sc--w that.

@gj hopefully what he meant was not to put your own interests above Cisco's while at work. Which is true for any team success at some level. But it came out sounding much darker than that. At least to me.

I heard it and just 😖 Not a great message aside he forgets that customers are paying our salaries.. should be, customers, self, team, Cisco
The only authentic dude out there is Oliver but how long will he hang around before he leaves the boat?

@ap BWAHAHAHAAA !!!

Milton Waddams at Cisco:

And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

I missed that. I presume it was G2 who said it. I wasn't paying attention to him.
