Were you happy with your payout? Are you leaving early or staying around to apply for internal role? What internal roles are they?

There is so much uncertainty and chaos going on. There is zero trust with this leadership.

This doesn't excuse what happened and it definitely doesn't excuse laying off seasoned employees instead of those who joined last, but the fact remains that Cisco over-hired. We will continue to have this problem until somebody realizes that we need... — read more

Isn't it too obvious that our competitors are gnawing at the bit to hire Cisco's top talent? And now said talent will be happily in the same markets selling against Cisco with joy?

Will we hear about the next round next month? Next quarter? It su-ks that the question is no longer "Will we have layoffs?" but "When will layoffs continue?"

Or is it mainly folks from Cisco premerge?

There are many people waking up today saying “Whew, glad that wasn’t me. They got rid of the slackers and luckily I’m not one of them”. You think you’re special and this will never happen to you. Boy, do I have some news for you. It reminds me of... — read more

Who was impacted?

Most seem to be in their late 40s and over. Does this mean there are grounds for age discrimination?

I know it's finally over, but I don't feel any better. So many good people lost and for what? The only thing this will do is give us a short-term bump in profit. In the long term, this will cost Cisco more than those who run this show realize. You... — read more 

Amazon is doing 5 days starting in January, are we going to follow suit?

Last year's layoff came in two phases. I don't recall what they said about this year's layoff. They set aside a certain amount of money for laying off 7%. Done and over?

is there anyone who isn't an exec that is happy and proud to work for Cisco? Imagine you were making the same and could pick any other company. Would you stay? No HR shills or contract social media people need respond.

What I learned, while being LR, is that a lot of IC were LR and no leadership were LR. How on EARTH this ELT does not see that there are too many “leaders” will continue to be the downfall of Cisco. There is ZERO reason for there to be 3 VPs... — read more
