I wasn't impacted by the LR
However, starting right now, I assume that I WILL be impacted the next quarter, and I will try my hardest to move to another company. This includes strengthening my resume, interview prep, and doing the absolute minimum to get by. I will try SO HARD... — read more

So am I supposed to work for two months
Got offered the work two months then take your four months severance pay. Is it tools down now for two months and just focus on training and recertification and job hunting or what? Are they expecting me to do my job as expected for two months?

This was just the first round
This is far from over.
Leader's Check-in Access Blocked for those Effected - Many Directors and Managers
Nice ELT gesture to block live stream. This way only safe leaders can join and sing priases for ELT for a job well done. Where is Frank and her unpretentious & genuine concerns for her Cisco family? This is obvious double-standard unheard to be... — read more

Any females laid off??
There was a meeting a while ago where they said a female Engineer is so rare type, that they would never lay off one no matter what. Guess what? I'm G11 female Engineer, who was laid off today, being a high performer for 6+ years. Lol.
Happy Friday
Who is ready for more layoffs!
Anyone else thinking about suing?
Got impacted by the LR yesterday. After seeing the list of people in many groups that were impacted, it’s about 95% old white guys like me. Can’t say I am surprised, the diversity preferences within Cisco is out of control and unchecked. The... — read more

"It's a big club, and you ain't in it!" Peace on LR Day.

like the Europeans do.. a company wide strike that demands other solutions than constant layoffs.. who's with me?
I still can't relax
I can't sleep. I know it's supposed to be over, but it's not registering. Maybe because I know it's just a matter of time before we hear about the next one.
