I wish Cisco had workers Union. A lot of abuse and outsourcing could have been stopped!
Cisco lost so many top performers to other companies due to low pay, they were 25-30% below market.
@yyx+1mNaFQu7, it might be about Amazon instead of Cisco, but it's good news to know for Cisco workers in case Cisco tries to force a return-to-office, but that doesn't seem likely.
@num+1mNaFQu7, I'm not aware that Cisco is a union shop either. I think you're confusing Amazon warehouse/delivery workers with the technical staff that works on Amazon.com. The union workers are the warehouse/delivery drivers, and many of them aren't even Amazon employees, but are contractors. They aren't being forced to return to the office as they never left the "office" as impossible to "pick, pack and ship" packages or deliver packages "remotely". It's the tech workers who are being forced to return to the office.
Amazon is not a union shop. Those workers will just be let go with no separation package. Good for Bezos pocket.
