You can always count on some intellectually inferior dou--e to link corporate decisions with the national political color.
@e7 all employees? try everyone in the world. sh-t was on the news
Troll bait from someone who doesn’t even work here.
All employees know that we had 4k cut in May.
Remind me, when was the worst layoff when Cisco went from 48,000 to 35,000 employees and contractors, a loss of 27%, followed by often quarterly layoffs all the way to the 2008 world wide economic collapse and beyond?
Far more important than who was president, who was the CEO when the stock ended up flapping around $25/share for 14 years after that layoff before he finally "quit" to spend more time with his family? Don't forget his scraping away "the bottom 5%" (defined by who had the weakest management chains) of the company every year, the wage freezes, the forced vacations to pay him bonuses he failed to meet the criteria to receive, and ki-ler products like a giant brick of a tablet with a tiny screen and the business class application "flashlight," an over priced camera where you couldn't recharge the battery because it went into a thermal fault two minutes after being plugged in and a personal teleconference solution requiring a $60/mo fee when the world was moving to texting.
there was just one in May '26, and one in Aug '25. both under Biden I guess? lol what a dunce this OP is
@bb most who work here are not very bright. Hiring based on who can say the most buzzwords or make up complete cr-p. Most cannot spell, most make WAY over what they are worth (why other companies don't like to see Crisco on resumes - because the "talent" is not a real thing. It's bullsh-t based on who makes up sh-t the best.)
No real skills. If you stopped them fron talking they would lose all ability to bullsh-t through life. Real world stuff? They have no idea, too busy manipulating to f*cking focus. If they do retain info about something, they use it to either brag or act know-it-all ish when they know literally nothing.

4000 LR after earnings in May…Q3FY26.
Silent layoffs have been happening at Cisco now every week. No need for WARN notifications because of low counts. Leadership keeps mum on anyone leaving, and those forced out don’t because of guilt of picked out. So it stays hush hush 🤫.
Unless you have a close friend being laid off, you will never know. No more major LR announcements after earnings since Sept 2024.
Others seeing anything different?
