Is there any chance ,that cisco layoff will effect on freshers for converting them onto full time? mainly for engineering?

Any collaboration impact? Plz share...

Good news is those on LR will receive mid year bonus. Sad news is it’s only half of what should be given. Bonus payout date in USA is March 15, 2024. Some comfort on receiving 25% bonus money, but that means year end payout will also not be good to... — read more 

I got the fatal news today and the script. My mgr called me directly first choking up, like giving me a heads up, then the news was officially delivered by my 3rd line who did the whole 1:1 calendar meeting out of nowhere like an hour later. It was... — read more 

Is the feedback email you get to send about why you should keep your job even worth it? Has anyone ever had Cisco change their mind and retain them after being told they were being fired??

I am so sad to hear so many of my friends and former coworkers in GSSO being impacted by today’s 3rd layoff in 1 year from the incompetence of the sales and engineering executives. We are growing and hiring so reach out to who you know here. — read more 

Thanks for letting my team stress out about this all night.

Any layoffs at VP/SVP/EVP level? If any famous person got impacted, please share.

I joined as a G11, got promoted twice, and now I’m further from the CEO (in the reporting chain) than when I started. On my way out now and wishing all the best to all those with me for brighter days. They will come.

I heard Outshift, FSO, CX took the biggest hits. Anything others can share?

4K staff being whacked is only the beginning, time to move on, update the resume & hope to find a new job asap. Time to ride into the sunset, can we all say welfare line! I thought so. THIS IS THE WAY.

Chuck and the ELT must NOT take any salary or stock in 2024 in exchange for causing pain in another 4,200 families on top of the 30,000+ families prior and 20,000 for those families coming next

And use the hundreds of millions saved to reduce layoffs

Cisco new hyper growth area, LED lightbulbs, powered by solar energy. MBAs are ready to pump LEDs and save the planet.

Damn, lots of G8s in RCDN&RTP are axed!!!

I'm both out of a job and in a job at the same time. Heard my manager was affected by the LR's this afternoon, confirmed when all 1:1's and team meetings were cancelled but still no word from him or anyone else. No idea if I'm affected yet..

Is this only happening in the US office? Haven't heard anything here in Australia. Fingers crossed Just wondering if I should bother working today. May as well start working on my resume and linkedin profile :(

Despite being a top performer who dedicated countless sleepless nights to successfully help Cisco seal multiple projects/deals, I'm facing the harsh reality of being laid off. Lots of low performers/ new hires are not affected... Manager seemed to be... — read more 

Why no word at all? No one fired but no word about the plan or timing. Shouldn’t Chuck send an email? Or our managers?

It’s been just awful seeing so many friends and incredibly talented colleagues being impacted today. My heart goes out to everyone affected.

Under current ELT, Cisco has seen LR/Layoff/Restructing/Limited restructuring/Silent Layoff etc for almost every quarter for last few years. If ELT's stratergy is not working - Why employees should suffer? why ELT members are not laying off - shame... — read more 

Is this only for today or is this also for tomorrow? I need to get this over. It is hanging on top of my head!

How does Cisco attract talent? They lured me away from a top company with RSUs then laid me off before they vested. Worst mistake of my life. By the time I was laid off, it was a celebration.

I personally have seen double digits company wide redundancy programs due to M&A or bad quarterly results in my career. It’s never easy to be always be in the position of being scared for your livelihood or where the next pay check will come if one... — read more 

"always a last resort" from the same pigfu-ker who does the exact same thing every fiscal year. 25% mid-year bonus. Why even bother at that point? Just make it 0% and own the fact you're insulting anyone who can't escape and has to stick around to... — read more 

No matter how hard you work, some nepo-baby loser with an MBA that thinks they know better will cut your career short at Cisco (or anywhere). Now is the time to organize carefully, quietly, and in large numbers. We can make a better Cisco

Splunk will likely hasten, not slow down, Cisco’s demise. Poor capital allocation on part of the CEO and CFO from Autodesk with no networking experience.

6 months pay + accelerated RSU + bonus.

The tech world is not anymore immune to layoffs and work conditions and pay is worsening every year relative to the standard of living. Cisco just like any other company has only their shareholders in mind, increasing their dividends while firing... — read more 

Is anybody able to focus on their work? I admit I'm not. My productivity is shot and it will stay that way until this is completely wrapped up. There's not much I can do to change that.

Thanks for nothing CISCO. Time to update the resume & start looking 👀. Best of luck 🤞 to all. This is the way.

Is there a deadline to be notified? If i haven’t been notified by end of today am i safe?

Turn out the lights. The party's over.

To focus on new growth opportunities like solar panels.

Does anyone know who decides who has to go and on the basis of what criteria? My manager was presented with a fait accompli and had no influence on the choice. Apparently, the local organizations are not integrated into the decision-making process.

Ba----ds director and managers who are looking for reasons to fire employees

Your friends colleagues getting fired for silly mistakes and nothing to do with performance. Cisco did layoffs when it was doing good It’s total madness to stay in this TOXIC workplace

Too many 1:1 s
