Gross lies hiding their layoffs, may they get explosive diarrhea with very bad timing.
Wonder whose pockets they lined for this puff piece…
I don’t trust anything Chuck says to the street. As an employee he would can every single person for an extra pump on the trash stock price.
“I don’t want to get rid of a bunch of people right now,” CEO Chuck Robbins said to CNBC in August. “I don’t want to get rid of engineers. I just want our engineers we have today to innovate faster and be more productive.”
Will this be another lie like the time he said no layoffs during covid?
I feel like this almost guarantees no (or small) layoff this quarter
doublespeak.
hahaha another lie - a top-heavy CPO office
So we are thinking no LRs due to this? I’d bet, they’d do it anyway… they don’t care about you.
Cultivated BS. "Leaning" on AI? What "AI"? The only "AI" Cisco knows is "Actually Indians". All hail the Patel Gods.
@a1 I agree and hope this is the case.
lol, I came to post this article as well. So I guess August didn't count?
I doubt they will be doing any big LRs with this article literally coming out today with some leadership on the record in this article
