Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

What does this mean?

Have other groups had meetings last week where there was talk about restructuring within them, but no details were given? Not a company-wide thing, specifically for the said group? Is this a prelude to layoffs or something else? This is the first time something like this has happened in my two years here.

…This is the first time something like this has happened in my two years here.

Both well and poorly run companies frequently review their business and make changes. This is only the first time you heard about it in two years. At poorly run companies the decisions are motivated by politics rather than business concerns. You need to understand this no matter where you work.

I left cisco 19 years back and still convinced that my decision is right.

Those who've been at Cisco for over 20 yrs really must go. They're NOT competent. Not capable. That's why they've been at Cisco for over 20 yrs without be able to move to work at another company.

They should not be a Customer Delivery Lead or any manager.

Watch out, they are setting a trap for you. I fear you will be laid off.

Is Cisco using social scores as a ranking factor, yet? I mean, formally.

Cisco is in a managed decline. Layoffs and reorgs are conducted annually.

I was told the August layoff will be done quietly by each group SVP to avoid any big announcement on earning call

There are always reorgs this time of year at Cisco.

New fiscal year, new budget. Everything is under review. If your group is working on a project that is struggling, then yes, restructuring is probably under discussion with management.
