Things are tough right now, morale is down SO MUCH on the greater team I am in, in the US. Teams rooms are quiet, people aren't engaging on calls, and so much quiet quitting and real quitting happening.
I found myself googling "companies that care about their employees" because Cisco has proven, time and time again, we're replaceable. I've been here for 7+ years and this is the worse it has been.
Does it get better? Is it like a wave and we ride it out, or is this how it will be forever?
@10m are you serious you are so pampered and insanely overpaid. Most do nothing. 3rd world? Get a real job and then say that. Ffs tech office workers lol.
I don’t have hopes to get any better but I just hope it doesn’t get worse
Can it get worse at Cisco? Absolutely!
It is like living and working in the 3rd world.
No
if you are in india where cisco does good .. "Will it get better?" yes it will be... just su-k up to your high class manager/dir/vp.. you will be fine!!
... is this how it will be forever?
Frequent layoffs have been at the core of Cisco for over a quarter century and abusive management beat you there by well over a decade.
As they say, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting difference results.
You do realize you work for the #1 company, right?
It's a company and a job, OP. It's not your mom. Of course you're replaceable. You replaced someone else numnutz; that's how you ended up with a job.
Companies don't care about anyone. Grow the fk up.
Do your job, take your money, and if you don't like it, go somewhere else.
If you need something to care about you, get a dog.
I don't see it getting better, only worse with the passage of time. I've been with the company for > 25 years.
Is it like a wave and we ride it out, or is this how it will be forever?
its not a wave its a nosedive(at least in bay-area), It will only get worse over time.
@op, I joined Cisco in ‘99 and notice it has declined and gotten worse drastically in the last 7 years. I doubt it will get any better in the near future.
