I have no inside knowledge but I believe you are correct. A number of management meetings with no communication to employees.
It has started. Time to roll the dice again.
Even the Unitas "lifeline" isn't safe.....troubling times!
Lots !!!
November DCO RSOPS
November? It’s already started
Haven’t been there in a while... who supports the customer then
The below is a post from the Cisco thread and highlights the trouble this 35yr business has created for itself and how they are coping. Sounds extremely familiar right ? So it’s definitely not greener on the other side of the fence. Sounds pretty brown to me. However, we are also up to our necks in the same pile of steaming brown stuff aswell. Good luck.
Cisco is a death spiral company. In the RTP area, Lenovo and IBM are the same way. Quarterly reductions in staff. When a company gets into this mindset, it is done. Staff no longer cares, work is done half arse, and there is no loyalty. The smart staff work maybe 50-75% of the time, the rest in learning skills and looking for another company to move to. Most of the others, put their rosy shades on and think everything is rainbows and unicorns. Trust me, those are usually the brown nosers, yes people, and ones staying loyal because of fear of not being able to find work.
The Sungard roulette game still continues .
Here’s the game. None of the senior management signed up for a growth gig. So their bonuses will be linked to reducing OpEx wherever possible and the accelerators will kick in if they can get to zero/neutral position.
No sales revenue of note, customers leaving in record numbers, customers not paying, customers taking us to court and the list goes on.
So management plus their hr sidekicks will be heavily focused on trimming the OpEx number. That means more people out the door.
I understand that this is just the way things are. It’s business. However, what it equates to is fellow colleagues being seen as nothing more than an expensive line item which needs to be eradicated so that someone higher up secures their bonus !
Scumbag behaviour.
