Outshift is heavily marketing itself on front page and linkedin, what has been all the contributions and revenue generated? How does it improve our competitiveness? Not suggesting it be ki-led, but why is it a random separate group? Why not just... — read more 

They love "impacted" because that is something that randomly happens to you. You havent been impacted, they have laid you off. They love LR because it sound like some kind of medicine, but really you have not been a victom of a "limted restructure"... — read more

Cant take it anymore. Just do the cuts. >

I want to be the one who gets laid-(off), but I'm a young female coder and I don't earn much :( It would be so nice if they could make the decision for me and give me some money for the road. It is a toxic place. It's my first job after university... — read more 

Can you all access the Internal RSU and ESPP pages? I seem to have lost access. Anyone else?

Email is out to people who have to tell someone they are laid off. There is a link in the training email that you can click and it shows you who you are to lay off. Mangers do not have severance info. When the conversation is over, they press a... — read more 

I wonder if leadership actually wants a sound company.

For discrimination For favoring not working people All the torture you caused to me

Normally I am not one for conspiracy theories, but have seen a few posts about laptop acting weird before you are LRed. Today my Chrome crashed 5 times, which has never happened before. Anyone experiencing the same or having insight if this is a... — read more 

Layoffs are always tough, but who gets laid off matters. Cisco has taken a "bean counter" approach again and again, cutting based on pay instead of actual value. It's like they don't realize that higher compensation usually reflects greater... — read more 

Like the title says. About 100 people on the call. Mass culling ?

Does any manager already know the list in APJC? FLM or HR notice the impact person?

I see in other posts managers in US know by now who in their team is affected. If that is true, does it mean leaders in UK , across EMEA already know as well?

Last week an SVP, this week a VP under him announced their retirement... I guess this is a thing now, and probably related to the LRs.

A of changes happened in the last month 1:1 getting cancelled No new work Boss singing the same song 'Wait till 16th Sept' Daily Standups is now once a week I assume This is a sign.

My manager (a director) had two 1:1s with me. We had our 1:1 in which she gave me feedback and told me how good I performed (she was talking so highly of me ) then moved the second 1:1 to next week. Idk what sign in this….

Got 20+ years of experience with 7 years in management? Can anyone share how much Cisco pays for a sr manager in Benguluru, Base + Stock ?

It’s a fu--ing toxic soup with every shade of politics under the sun. Every fu--ing person is playing a different game - the common thread is everyone is trying to backstab everyone else. Is the rest of Cisco this bad? I never thought I’d be... — read more 

If the lists are already out, why do we have to wait until next week to find out if our name is on there? This isn't fair to us or our managers. Imagine knowing who on your team is going to be let go and you have to keep up pretenses for another week... — read more 

May we all be LR’d and enjoy the severance !

You have stock grants waiting to mature they’ll take them back. No vesting either. Instead of a stock buyback Cisco STEALS the stock back by LR’ing you. They never intended for the stock to vest when they issued it to you. It’s not like before. I... — read more 

Can anyone give some insight on the impact in Outshift BU? Are they impacted? Is it minimal or a huge impact?

When will Canada be notified? Will they be notified alongside the US on 16th or later in the year? Anyone with information on this?

China: 2124 (Complete closure) US: 2224 (Splunk:1K; most of the HW teams in Cisco) India: 534 ROW: 1109 Notifications: 16 to 17th sept Hardware teams across all groups impacted. Few BU complete closure.

Does mgr training really happened or just a speculation. By now, all managers got to know the list?

Does it vary from team to team? Or is the process more consistent? Will we be notified via email?

hopefully it's not part of this madness ... would be a new low...

Yes, names known by your manager Start looking for hints We sent an email to your leaders today am US time.

So why is Splunk hiring Dev people separately on LinkedIn, when so many were let go from Cisco? I know we are all looking for work. I am a bit confused. There are a lot of Splunk openings. Is Splunk going to continue to run separate from us? sorry if... — read more 

Cisco likely to close all of CRDC in the near term. This would be about 2K people. In 2024 engineers in China are more expensive than you think.

Many have leaned here for internal turmoil and corporate restructuring going on, and news from others. Whether you are safe or impacted, don’t stop coming back, and keep sharing what you learn.

Lined up another job. Started looking when mass layoffs were announced, and was lucky to get a good offer very soon afterwards. I’m now just twiddling my thumbs and hoping I’m on the list. Go look for better jobs, nobody deserves this much stress and... — read more 

Who else is ready to gladly accept severance and take a full mental health month off to detox from this toxic, stressful place?

Now that's something.

I think everyone should have this but it was installed in my machine on the 8th September which is suspiciously close. Can you check and comment please?

Should the LR notification must come from my Manager or It can come from my manager's manager as well
