Is "diversity" actually measured or just done to get pats on the back?

MWC was great show to demonstrate good partnership values. Cisco to announce we buy router 6k from E///. It's not s good product but we can fix and have profitable sales in 5G. Gluck man agrees as he is sponsoring strategy.

Enjoy your day, grunts.

Been with Cisco for over 8 years now, survived many LRs. Wife works for Barracuda, b--ches about Cisco and constant LRs... At Barracuda, no layoffs... Then a hit comes out of nowhere and she gets the axe yesterday. F---! See their board @RZACyHy

Did I miss something or was there no real hint or indication of the latest layoffs round?

I tried to find some info on yesterday's layoffs in the media, but there is absolutely nothing. Literally, not one news link pops up when you type in Cisco and layoffs and limit it to the past 24 hours. There are discussions from this site and some... — read more

Hearing there's going to be a layoff tomorrow in RTP. Anyone else hearing this?

I work at Broadsoft and we just recently got acquired by Cisco. I was told I am marked as a transitional employee and will not have a job past July. Any idea how Cisco's severance package will look like for me?

Easier solution….layoff all those sycophants who “reply all” to Emails. And if the original Email requested recipients to not “reply all” to an Email, as it was sent to a large distribution list, then they should be sacked for being incredibly stupid... — read more 

Is Lawrenceville going to be affected?

Regarding the mentioned "expected trim of the bottom 5 percent," that is not how layoffs at Cisco work nor have they ever. Every single round of layoffs has cut some of the best people who have been with the company long enough to earn a decent pay... — read more 

Cisco is the number one in volume of buybacks. It's all going to the shareholders not the workers. Tax cut scoreboard: Workers $6 billion; Shareholders $171 billion http://money.cnn.com/2018/02/16/investing/stock-buybacks-tax-law-bonuses/index.html

Cisco are pretty good at buying and acquiring tech and talent - I was wondering if anyone has any stats about the successes? It would be really helpful to have some proper ammunition to use on these idiots that use the tiny number of failures (SA... — read more

Poorly made, avoiding them at all cost. Don’t listen to sales!
