Cisco VP goes absurd

2012-11-09 00:17:17.819676+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Cisco VP of services Mike Quinn goes full-on Mafia on over a leaked memo:

... The company in response to a number of requests to share internally what our RFP contained once again is insulted by the lack of respect for the business and "family" internal to Cisco. The person or persons whom felt it was cool or correct to share this internal memo should now have the intestinal fortitude to stand up and admit that they did this, then resign.

and

... That you disrespected everyone else at Cisco. Now I know you do not have it in you to stand up and admit what you did, so I will now make you my "hobby." Ask around you will find out that I like to work on my hobbies.

Sounds like comic-book-guy with an ego. There are ways to deal with internal leaks, sounding like the goth kid who carries the silly spiked knives crossed with wannabe Mafia kingpin isn't one of them.

This was in response to a memo about California State University saving $100M when they ditched Cisco, which was in response to Network World: Country's largest 4-year university expels Cisco, saves $100 million.
