To anyone currently employed @ CSCO:
Sorry to hear the slow drawn out process of LR's the ELT has decided to implement on their workforce. Instead of notifying those who are being LR'ed right away, they've decided to make people wait 2-4+ weeks. That is rubbish. It puts too much anxiety + stress on people. Whether you want to keep your job, or you are beyond burned out and wishing to leave it su-ks. It's no way to treat people, and it reflects poorly on CSCO as a so-called "Best Place To Work".
These type of conditions run workforce morale into the ground. They raise the rates of health issues. It puts additional burden and strain on people's lives, families, and other personal relationships.
LR's happen at companies. Politics happen at companies. But the specific CSCO branded LR's and politics are not humane nor scalable IMO.
Whether you believe yourself to be on the LR list or not, it may be time to quietly start thinking about going elsewhere. Do you really want to continue working for a company.
If you are feeling frustrated, do something to promote happiness and well being in your life. Don't let these corporate overlords control the narrative to your happiness. Yes I understand some of us have mortgages, families, and it becomes more difficult to jump ship in middle age. But that is no reason to let the decisions of ELT ruin your lives.
To anyone who downvotes this post or respond with some snarky comments, I challenge you to ask yourself this question: would you want to work for an employer who treats their employees this way?
