Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Time to make things HAPPEN! Q4 is going to be amazing!

Manager ask you for something by end of day? Get it done by end of HOUR.

Manager needs it by end of hour? It's already in his inbox, unread, marked urgent, sent from your phone while you were being wheeled into a routine outpatient procedure!

There are 24 hours in a day. Sleep is a SUBSCRIPTION and I've cancelled mine. You people act like you never pulled an all-nighter in college and took a final on three Red Bulls and a stranger's Adderall. That was PRACTICE. This is the exam!!!

Cisco routers run 24/7 with 99.999% uptime. Are you telling me a METAL BOX has better work ethic than us? Heck no!

Cisco hired you for a reason. WHO'S GONNA CARRY THE ROUTERS?! AND THE LOGS?

CISCO ON THREE!

One.

Two.

Get back to work.

I actually had a manager send an email to a coworker and CC'ed the whole team asking her to review something, the day of her neck surgery. It was like 3pm. She was going to be out for weeks, and he was like "oh in case you check your email after surgery".

Dear Employee,

As part of Cisco’s ongoing strategic realignment to simplify our operating model, optimize our cost structure, and drive long-term sustainable growth, the company is executing a Limited Restructuring (LR) action across several business units.

We regret to inform you that your current position has been identified for elimination as part of this restructuring initiative. Your last day of active employment with Cisco Systems Inc. will be effective 60 days from the date of this letter.

We want to explicitly address the unique level of personal investment you have displayed leading up to this action. While your recent internal forum communication regarding pulling all-nighters on unprescribed medication and treating "sleep as a subscription" demonstrates an individual interpretation of work ethic, Cisco heavily prioritizes worker sustainability, legal safety compliance, and regular labor boundaries. Furthermore, as our physical networking hardware remains fully covered under centralized infrastructure maintenance contracts, there is no operational requirement for you to manually "carry the routers" or the logs moving forward.
