Does,anyone know the headcount, as per the news last month.it was 6000 across the globe?? How much is in USA?

Curious if anyone from previous LR landed a role internally and how realistic this is?

I am a Hispanic person so however this lands it is what it is. I do think that the STEM positions (+Supply Chain) needed to stay and the first organixation that should be liquidated should be the DEI (3P) organizations. In all technicalities these... — read more 

Will they update the employee directory immediately, or will they wait until 60 days to make updates? Also, when do you lose access to Webex, immediately or not until your official last day?

You know, I'd like to keep the 2 months of pay and severance

Are all notifications out?

I just told my team I am pregnant few weeks ago and now I have a 1:1 with my manager tomorrow for the LR. Is this even legal, what should I do? I am so stressed out and my health insurance will be lost. #cisco #layoff #ciscolayoffs

Seems like Scott is getting rid of far more than 7%. Many worthless VP's and leaders he could've chosen.

Found this on BLND 'Twas the night before the layoffs, and all through the firm, Not a manager was stirring, not even a term. The memos were prepared, with foreboding intent, In hopes that come morning, the dread would relent. The employees... — read more 

Don't take what you read here as gospel. There's a lot of people who are understandably angry. Some were impacted, some not. Reading through the threads there are details that just don't add up in some of them. I assume that most posts are being... — read more 

for claiming/thinking that only underperformers get impacted by layoffs? Clearly that is not the case.

Anyone impacted at Mass Scale Infra BU group? Mobility or Optical or Sedona /Xworks ?

I am concerned for my manager. They unexpectedly took the last part of last week off without any notice other than a note to our team. I have remained hopeful that he's not impacted, however we have not heard from his at all yet today. Nothing... — read more

Sad day. My 13 year career has come to and end.

I avoided many LR's but finally got hit. like someone else posted ... entire teams let go today in TAC. there won't be much left in AMER TAC. what the he-l are they going to do? outsource it all? RIP CISCO

Any news out yet in San Jose?

Those seem to be the deciding factors in this LR. The higher any of those numbers, the higher the chance of being affected. It's not about performance at all.

What type jobs are being axed? what type jobs wont be safe here for the next one in FEB? Is it random?

Well that's that folks ... I was the lowest number badge employee still on payroll and i've been axed.

Unless this ELT is fired/ held accountable, nothing will change. Promoting existing ELT to replace failed leadership is worse
