Lots of folks impacted today. be respectful and help them find new opportunities. it will be a difficult tine for everyone

First off - if you've been personally impacted - I'm sorry. Is anyone with actual first hand knowledge willing to share the details of the package from this round of LRs?

Every one from Cisco should put on LinkedIn and the respective work socials either a black flag or just black them out. Affected or not to show unity and what a black day it is again at Cisco

No one in my org knows if they still have a job. The wait is borderline cruel. No calendar invites from anyone, direct manager doesn't know what's going and a full day of calls to support. With a month of waiting, a few hours isn't huge in the grand... — read more 

How many are impacted?

ISR’s getting notices now

And it was deleted. Heads up to everyone. It's getting brutal here at Cisco and on this "anonymous" board!

Our team is across 4 time zones and haven’t heard anything (good/bad) yet… anyone else? A few leaders are on DnD.

I made a comment under that post, but it was gone.

Anyone knows if we are getting notifications today, this week…?

I know this might sound like a stupid question, but is there a chance they sent out all notifications in advance and if we didn't get anything, we're good?

Get ready for the scripted speech in the 1:1s " Change is inevitable", tough competition, redundant jobs, .. while the ELT team will sit and watch eating popcorn today, You don't have to worry as long as you have the skillset. Be Brave and... — read more 

Gor my 1:1 with the svp today . This is after my manager told me he hadnt heard anything . Meraki

Sarah Walker has just sent out the email regarding a 'collective consultancy' exercise in the UK. This needs to take place before employees are notified that their job 'is at risk of redundancy'. An individual consultation then takes place lasting... — read more 

Lets start. CSE/SPM in APJC impacted.

Anyone knows how it works in Germany? Considering the local work counsel law, anyone will be notified now if he/she is impacted? Or have to wait for other few months to be notified and or to know at all??

Has anyone received a 1:1 or any news in EU? Would be great if you could share the country as well.

I will be signing on and set as busy in Teams and watching email and doing nothing else until I know what the he-l my status is.

A day of infamy for Cisconians.

A simple "1:1" like the training tells them. US based. Morning time. I'm not even mad anymore. I'm just sad. I don't want to look for a job. I like this job. We do good things. Why not move us to the part where they need people? I'll never... — read more 

Just sitting here, staring at my notifications, waiting to see if I'll get an invite for tomorrow. This is going to be a long night.

Are they?

CX TAC Sec

You can focus on performance and support diversity like many tech companies. Or you can focus on diversity and support performance. Those are not the same thing. With one.. you make the ship bigger and there is room for everyone. With the other... — read more 

They love them some layoffs and chaos. On a serious note, I know a former CEO of another fortune 50 company. He really did get giddy during layoffs. He truly did get off on it. Cisco, doesn't really need to constantly churn like they do. Not... — read more 

SBG is downsizing it’s AMER footprint and moving engineering to India. Tomorrow will be brutal for AMER.

Guess I will take the severance package

This makes too much sense , maybe a little 1980/90, but just ask the partners who the dead weight is! Punt them! At least for sales and partner orgs! Some are old and some are not old. Would make everyone happy!

To recap: they tell us tomorrow that we have to go they will email us the package and the process specifics we all have two more months to find a job within Cisco or somewhere else at the end of the two months we get to sign the agreement... — read more
