Cisco Systems is cutting 221 jobs, which consist of 157 layoffs in Milpitas and another 64 in San Francisco, according to the WARN notices.

I have zero desire to stay here a day longer than I have to, but finding something else has proven impossible so far. The moment an offer comes my way, even if it pays less than my current salary, I’m gone. And it took less than two years to get me... — read more 

Do you think new leaders could actually change anything, or would it just be more of the same? I’ve been here long enough to remember when Cisco was a truly great place to work, but it feels like those days are gone for good, no matter who’s running... — read more 

With skeleton crews barely surviving, do they actually believe AI will pickup the work?

“I don’t want to get rid of a bunch of people right now,” Robbins told CNBC last week, stressing that AI was meant to boost productivity, not reduce headcount. “I just want our engineers that we have today to innovate faster and be more productive... — read more 

These past few days have been incredibly tough. We could all use a breather.

There is no Leadership here. Just Management and plenty of poor of it. They oughta start calling these aholes EMT and not insult what a leader should be

Well done ELT Well done!

This Merit is terrible for everyone (except ELT ofcourse). I'm rying to give a “critical to retain” a small % increase and it dropped my budget next to nothing for the others. Sorry guys but it's going to be a lot of disappointment, you're getting... — read more 

Anyone know the specifics of the rewards changes mentioned on the beat? Direct questions were glossed over. It sounds like the intent is to not reward low performers in November? With the November layoff rumors this is even more concerning.

Hi! Cisco Canada employees, what’s your plan of action for severance? It’s a joke.

A LinkedIn post that opens “this week was a good one”. Like, how about you GFY, Kelly?

Stop the personal gain and gutting the rest of the people that keep you where you are SC*M! Take your bucket list agenda somewhere else!

Rewards budget is horrible this year Considering the good revenue year cisco declared, don’t expect many promotions

Anyone have any idea?

Layoffs are being carried out by the numbers only. There hasn’t been a hint of strategic thinking in how the cuts are made. In reality, that means some teams are reduced to bare bones, talent is let go disproportionately, and critical roles aren’t... — read more

Does anyone on here know who's going to be targeted for the Nov 1 and May 1 focal cycles? I mean how are the cycles broken down?

We’re drowning trying to keep projects and services afloat with the staff we have, and leadership is still planning to cut more people? It’s ridiculous and completely out of touch. How do they expect anything to get done?

You will lose your job to AI but not in the way you think. Spending on AI infrastructure exceeds the revenue of most organizations. The AI models they are using to replace humans with are called "loss leaders" Nvidia GPUs are not cheap. Amazon AWS... — read more 

When will we finally get to just focus on work again?

These layoffs made that abundantly clear. So much invaluable knowledge gone. That's not something you can replace, even if you get the best possible newbies (which we're not getting, by the way, judging by the last few years). Ignoring this will not... — read more
