Originally posted by IsayIsayIsay View PostThe brain washing at Cisco was impressive. Yes the rewards were high, yes the culture talked about "bring yourself to work", "be your best self", "wear pink and die your hair orange", but the underlying toxicity was immense. 10% lowest performance every year. Once I was given 10 mins to decide on the order of a team I'd been looking after for 3 weeks, then I was put on "the list" myself. It was at that point I vowed never to be in that position again.... and still they get the best employer awards.... and hire employment psychologists to make sure the masses are "happy"... madness.
They know they have really toxic cultures and these awards are a way to "whitewash" themselves, a bit like Saville and his charity work, or paedeo priests etcComment
