The people who were promoted were the best at gaming the system. The people who told the truth, even constructively, were punished for it. Metrics ran roughshod over employees. No metric was too small to be driven. Cisco will stop at nothing to satisfy a customer, including employees working nights, weekends, and everything in between. When I left the company, I felt like I was on vacation when I stopped working on the weekends.
Be careful of the message you send by who you promote.
