re: Tony Li Returns to CiscoThe fact that somebody has time to (1) come up with such a rule, and (2) time to enforce it, is a definite sign that there's not enough work to do. Time for a layoff in HR. __________________________________________________
I concur. You could get rid of the entire HR department at Intel and not miss them. The only time they get active is when someone needs to be fired.

A lot of crazy things at Intel were proposed and decided by Andy Grove (another example was everyone has to go to work by 8:30AM), the old man who rode the Pentium wave to fame, and people used to worship .... He was wrong in just about every decision and when he took other people's proposal (like develope Intel micro-processor), he became famous.
........... my spies report he even has the old employee# back which is < 500. dont know if its normal for people returning to the Collective. .................
Thats not unusual. From what I know even BCN guys got there old Cisco ID
re: Tony Li Returns to Cisco============================================= From what I hear, certain people here are not all that happy with his return...fear of displacement and being overshadowed after all their years of hard work. ================================================

re: Tony Li Returns to CiscoThe simple reality is that:
1) Cisco did not want him working for a competitor - for good reason. As such I am sure he got a very lucrative deal - a can't say NO deal.
2) Given 1) Tony does not have much to lose - he can always quit :) and he most likely can work on anything he wants, does not have to take crap from anyone and work how he wants. Big place to get lost in -- or a lot of resources to use to get something done. Maybe he can light a spark - god knows they need it - has become another Nortel RTP or Richardson.
re: Tony Li Returns to CiscoAgreed...this topic is becoming real old, like Bill Parcells ( i am not too crazy about the Eagles , either :) )...time for a new one.
Tony is a great guy for sure, but he is getting more than he deserves.
