Comment on how you feel being isolated, while others wait their turn for next round. This happens every round, laid off employees dropped off the bus, while ELT preaches Cisco impressive leadership, AI prowess and caring for employees.

It was a relief to finally get laid off. I survived over 15 years of repeated layoffs at Cisco. The constant threats were terrorizing. Surviving a layoff simply meant you now had to absorb the job duties of 2-3 people. The overwork led to burnout. Instead of paying anyone properly, they partner with random hippies to tell us what we REALLY need is breathing exercises and gratitude. Meanwhile our compensation bands are 5 years behind and not even keeping up with inflation. This year as a grade 8 single parent, I was struggling to afford groceries. ELT is out of touch with regular people and regular life. We aren't living in the same world.
I have absolutely no idea what Cisco is any more or what it is trying to become. With constant LRs, restructures and focus shifts, CR and his cronies have alienated the entire company such that most employees feel entirely peripheral and irrelevant rather engaged and knowing of their bit.
Dead Beat.
@aq Quit trying to pi-p your book on here.
Why would someone who's been laid off want to attend? People who haven't been laid off don't want to.
Don't think any of us even wanted to attend.
George Orwell would be proud.
Why would they even want to join? They have better things to do. What a lame post.
