https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cisco-debuts-security-software-meant-to-stop-hackers-who-steal-corporate-logins-083047348.html O yeah, Cisco is going to cash in big time. All LRs have been canceled for the next 6 months. We are all good.

He always seemed like a cookie cutter empty suit Cisco executive. How did he win out against all the others?

Everything falls apart as expected. Whoever left are looking to gaming on Cisco and contributing nothing.

Will there be more layoffs next week?

In today’s Cisco only politics and nepotism win. If you have good relations, you will get promoted every year while laying off hundreds other capable engineers. I have seen a someone from Sr.BDM -> Director -> Sr, Dir -> VP in last 5 years. I doubt... — read more 

I wonder if Cisco can legally (as it's based in the US) monitor our work load efficiency/time on screen etc and make layoff decisions based on that. It would never be mentioned as an official reason, but I wonder..

From speculation, it seems that the announcement will be the day after earning call. Does that usually happen based off of previous LRs?

...and couldn't be happier. When in doubt, punt. Done and dusted. May you also escape from the swill.

WTF people BSing about here. There is no WARN notice. What layoff?

Must it be explained to Cisco that it reached the apex of lunatic effrontery when it began preventing us from recognizing the vast and incomparable achievements, contributions, and discoveries that are the product of our culture? Because it obviously... — read more 

I was recently let go under the CPOC BU. I would be wary of currently taking an blue badge position under this team as they are currently shifting focus to more community development of Genesis and putting more focus on that. POCs will continue but... — read more 

Lots of rumors flying around. 5-7% layoff, now up to potentially 18-20k people. I am not sure what is true but it definitely is causing a lot of anxiety. Which BUs will be impacted? Meraki? AppD? EN? Are they going to hit sales or just auxiliary... — read more

BUY or sell CSCO stock ahead of this LR?

Anyone remember if we signed a non-compete when we got hired here? I've been here a long time and can't remember, nor have the time to chase down the policy in the trove of DEI documentation in our HR portal...

The thing that's always overlooked in the Cisco layoffs is the negative customer impact. I'm not minimizing the employee impact in any way. It's got to be absolutely horrible, and it will probably be me someday. I'm a white male in my early 50s... — read more 

Alright, Cisco, listen up! You think laying off folks left and right is tough? Well, let me tell you something, you're playing in the minor leagues. You want to be a real player? Embrace the discomfort, face the challenge head-on, and stop shedding... — read more

Cisco is no longer a company operating continental United States. U.S government should look into delisting CSCO from NYSE.

Does anyone know how hard TAC will be impacted by this?

If you are sure of getting job outside , pls volunteers for LR Save your colleagues at Cisco

Assuming mass layoffs will it cause a WARN notice and advance notice of 75 days before termination date?

I am on child bond leave. Would they still lay me off while on leave? After my leave finishes? Would I still get severance?

I heard massive cuts to both groups. True?
