Nice going ace.

It’s exactly this kind of churlish “we understand the web here at Cisco” arrogant potty training trauma snotty asshattery that has gotten the USA in it’s current spot.

You’ve got to sugar coat everything for the EGOS (suits) with the 6 and 7 figure salaries or they get all indignant.

The truth has a reality bias that is handled by these corporate pukes by snuffing it out. “We will steal, lie and cheat so we can maintain our false sense of superiority over others”.

One can tell by all the “corporate whore” and “everyone hates their job” comments here that America has become a country of selfish, whiny, entitlement-minded children. Considering the economic climate, this silly little bitch should have been thrilled to land a job at all.

Now I understand how a stuttering socialist con-man like Obama could get elected President.

However, my concern goes deeper. Assuming she had not said what she did and went to work for Cisco. Most likely, she would be looking for an escape from day one. At the first opportunity, she would hit the road to a “better” job. Any money Cisco would have spent in training her (and, despite her CV, shewould have required some training) would have been lost. The company would have to hire a new candidate and begin the training process again.

It is possible (and likely) that there was more than one qualified candidate for the job. CF may have had the fanciest resume or the best interview skills. Some of the other candidates may be more enthusiastic about the job. The company may be better-served with one of them.

As for Tim Levad calling her out. I like his move. It let her know that the Internet is forever. She learned that free speech is great but the right also carries some consequences. On her blog, she tried to laugh it off as no big deal when it clearly was a big deal. Too often, I have seen people of her generation post things like this. When called on them, their defense is that they were joking. I think that is the standard defense. By claiming “joking” status, it absolves them from being stupid.

it’s difficult to work in an environment where none expert leads technical engineers on decision making process. Sat through countless meeting where no true world experience MBA with big word just spinning wheels.

Glad that i am in better place.

People who malign Cisco for dumping CF are themselves part of the problem. Think of it like this: Would you hire someone who demonstrates the intelligence of an imbecile and the common sense of an infant?

I wouldn’t, but I take it you would. There are already far too many idiots in the workforce, and I think I see the reason why.

Or, think of it like this: Imagine that NOT posting something stupid on Twitter is the world’s easiest intelligence test, and CF failed it. How could her comment possibly have NOT infuriated her new employer?
