Be on the lookout folks as Sales will lay off folks this week on October-4th. I heard from multiple sources 7-9% of many teams will be impacted.

Chopping the dead wood. Normal.
As predicted on this forum couple of months ago: November layoffs in sales and SE team in the UK theatre. The SED had asked for names as far back as August 2023.
@3eha+1oQLSEAn Sounds like someone I knew at UK Meraki whose ex was hired as an SEM in UK theatre couple of years ago while they were going through a messy divorce. I heard that her management skills were not that great either, several of her team members left. Question is, is the man you speak about a management guy? If not, then it is not a surprise that he was fired. Usually, if a harassment complaint is brought against a management person, Cisco's first response is to get a HR consultant in there who'll try and bully the victim into believing that he/she made a mistake or is over-reacting. And next step would be to silently ear-mark that person for the next LR-lot or force the person into a corner so that he/she leaves spontaneously.
No surprise here.
Cisco and layoffs like Ben and Jerrys. Titanic and Celine Dion.
Cisco and layoff = BFFs forever.
