Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Americans have better work ethics and resilience

Cisco needs to crack down on poor performance and do another massive layoff. If you can’t pull your weight, then you got to go.

Duh. Most of H1Bs and L1 (not to mention offshores) are either who bought a fake degree off a holes-in-the-wall shops on the streets of Mumbai OR who went to mediocre “universities” in India where they teach you how to print “Hello World” in MS-DOS so, yeah. Go figure.

...remaining in their roles primarily in anticipation of a severance package rather than with the intent to contribute……

I worked with many people at Cisco who intended to contribute but all they did is create bugs. Those of us who were making real progress kept getting pulled off productive work to bug fix the failure of others. Plenty of times across multiple companies management has come to me to completely rewrite features others had months to "develop" and I had working clean room implementations in weeks. This is why deadwood at Cisco are better than a large portion of people trying to contribute and failing miserably.

Based on the previous post, it confirms that some individuals are remaining in their roles primarily in anticipation of a severance package rather than with the intent to contribute…… This has a real impact on overall morale to everyone else especially for those who are working hard, staying engaged, and carrying additional workload.

The solution is right in front of us. I wonder how long it will take for someone to figure it out.

there are lazy American workers and lazy foreign workers. with that said, I do not want to work with these types. I'm looking forward to volunteering for a buy out.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been another one yet. A lot of disengaged, low-performing employees are creating bottlenecks and dragging the team down, which makes it harder for strong talent to want to join or stick around once they do.

When mediocre performance is tolerated, everyone else ends up compensating, morale takes a hit, and progress slows. If we want to attract and retain good people, we need clearer expectations and real accountability so the standard is obvious and enforced.

Will you stop posting the same thing over and over and over? They are going to LR who they want when they want. Working 10 hours not going to make any difference
