This will be an ugly one. 5000 worldwide. Failed RTO is the cause.

Cisco needs to pull out of the red states and rid the company of republicans. A real purge is needed. Both of re----k ignorant Trumpites and Indians. Send the former to Russia and the latter back home. HQ should move to tariff free Europe.
your "the most talented Indian" Director/VP wants you to create network with them
If you can not do that your are not fit for Cisco Job, find new job :-) .. your Indian boss is right 500% always...
Astronomers found life on k2-18b.. your "the most talented Indian" Director/VP wants you to create network with them otherwise you will be LR'ed tomorrow .. good luck !!
@dh SJC22 ? huh..
Software development has become sweatshop work with layoffs every six months. Trump is bringing good paying manufacturing jobs back to the US. Learn robotics programming.
Too bad. Learn to code. Oh, guess that didn't turn out well when factory workers were layed off....maybe learn a trade. Do some real work that can't be outsourced.
Q3 earnings should provide some insights into the size of LR if that’s indeed being planned.
I know it’s highly unlikely but I’d like to see an ER offered
if it doesn't come with attractive terms, no one will take it
why ER when you are going to LR thousands anyway?
Layoffs were entirely avoidable until Trump decided to unilaterally wreck the global economy
he only accelerated the inevitable wrt to zombie companies like Cisco
nothing gives me pleasure, then to see cisco go down. already left the sinking ship with severance now just watching with popcorn. good riddance. bon voyage
Layoffs were entirely avoidable until Trump decided to unilaterally wreck the global economy. The damage is now done. We'll be lucky to avoid a 2nd great depression.
Intel just announced plans to cut around 20% of its workforce
Intel recently suspended dividends, Cisco did not... both companies are not equal comparison right(just guessing..), so one might expect generic 5% or 7% LR at Cisco FY25? ...
Intel just announced plans to cut around 20% of its workforce: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-23/intel-to-announce-plans-this-week-to-cut-more-than-20-of-staff
And was also reported ConocoPhillips has brought in BCG to help with their restructuring: https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/conocophillips-plans-layoffs-part-broad-restructuring-2025-04-22/
All of that said I’m sure Cisco will announce something similar very soon.
CR needs to use signal chat .. so we all know the secrets..
rofl..."Failed RTO is the cause". You sound vaccinated.
otherwise everything is just layoff.com humor
this "is" a humor site for depressed employees :-) , anything represents truth will be cleaned up by moderators/insiders.. they only entertain humor ...
I know it’s highly unlikely but I’d like to see an ER offered
Whether it’s 1000 or 10000 one thing is for sure, the LR will be announced
Its FY tradition to do LR at Cisco (for 25years?), nothing new... We need % number for FY25.. if you know please share otherwise everything is just layoff.com humor ... :-)
Whether it’s 1000 or 10000 one thing is for sure, the LR will be announced this Summer. I already see people scrambling to pretend to be busy. Season 25 of the Cisco hunger games will be a fun one.
20k is the number. chuckie will blame it on tariffs.
with ~91k employees, LR'ing 5k is peanuts right ..
GVSE and GSSO will be hit the hardest. I’m hearing entire teams across CX, Security, and account managers will be plucked. Enjoy!
