I am hearing mostly about CX and BU, no sales this time?

Cisco doesn’t care about you, why should you care about Cisco? Why work hard to make projects successful.

One of richest American now, but CR is not satisfied, his goal is 1 Trillion, so next 5 LR are planning now.

Everyone's acting like nothing happened like usual, curious how many of us got axed.

But then, they'll just make up for it on our backs anyway. No silver lining when you're dealing with greedy ba----ds.

I see that the board is divided, some are all doom and gloom, some are more like 'business as usual'. i'd be curious to see what do you all think about our position a few years from now.

Anyone at thousandeyes impacted by layoffs?

Survived this round. There will be more rounds. Assuming that I have about 7 years of experience, late 30s, mid 200K total comp, wife is not working, have a toddler. No debt/mortgage (renting in So Bay). Working in sales. Is there a rule of thumb... — read more 

Hey Guys! Anyone from Asset Management department in US affected by the layoffs? Really hope that the impact there is minimal or hopefully non existent.

A vegan diet may be in order. https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/chuck-robbins-2270936687.jpg?resize=1200,865

I was LR‘ed early 2024.. and today I am happy it happened then and not now. Cisco does, like most US companies, not care about employees and are unable to do a proper AOP planning - at cost of the lives of tousands of mother and fathers who have to... — read more 

No other way to really explain it.

I saw the news about cuts today and it got me wondering. Back in 2022 when Cisco let me go, they gave 60 days in lieu pay, another 60 days severance, PTO cashed out, and four months of COBRA. Does anyone know if the packages are still similar now or... — read more 

It might happen... but people are jumping from accounting math to headcount certainty. They said fewer than 4,000 jobs in Q4. They also said notifications start 5-14 and continue globally based on local laws and regulations. OK, makes sense - it... — read more 

Can anyone share what it looks like in Canada?

Lots of critical engineers on critical location are leaving, it is the biggest stupid lay off I have ever seen...

Tomorrow is the "Cisco for me" day, as a red badge so far have not received any termination notice, how is every red badge doing today, wish everyone the best!

Any insights?

Don’t get angry. Understand whatever amazing skills you have are not transferrable Example- why would Nvidia, Anthropic, OpenAI, etc. hire you? Using AI is building AI. Don’t be confused here.

Started here not even half a year ago. Put in the work, learned the systems, made an effort. Now I'm being kicked out with people who've been here for years. What was even the point of hiring me?

How many employees are left?

"The Royal Scam"; an album title from early Steely Dan, that is fitting for today's announcement.

Clearly, AI is going to do all the human empathy and communication work of humans...

If there were multiple people impacted in the group there is a high probability that more will be targeted in August. We lost three good members and more than likely this group and will be impacted soon. MIGs.

There's nothing I hate more than when layoffs start on Tuesday and then stretch out throughout the entire week. Everything being done in a single day is much better on my nerves.

Just wait until the AI bubble bursts and companies realize it can’t do half the things they expected it to do, and that in a lot of cases it’s actually slowing people down instead of helping. I don’t know if this leadership is capable of that kind of... — read more 

Aren't you glad you stayed, to see stock soar; and now get LR'd Enjoy!

2 teammates are impacted through

Make of that what you will, but it’s getting harder not to notice certain patterns.

I have 1:1 in the afternoon, am I safe ?
