Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Just cut me a check already....

And once again American elitists sticking up everyday Americans as!* and selling out our nation for a few bucks. That’s a problem.

Meraki revenue is crumbs. Don’t fool yourself. They never delivered because the product is for SOHO.

If they "pivot" with each quarterly report, then they're walking in circles.

Meraki will be safe, with less employees generates big $, this group use third party company for HW dev. Cisco should proud to them.

Not sure about App D. : it was big hope then quite....
Splunk : not sure will success with Cisco, different business segment, look back to Webex and others.
Acacia : not sure will worth in generating money for CSCO, many product duplicated with TMG. and many companies (incl. startup) developing higher speed (make sense).

CSCO invested $1bil to 3 AI companies (SW), acquisition is possible.

pressing from the share holder getting hard and hard, should expect more layoff next year.
thousands layoff meaning that csco is give up to the situation & condition.

I love how Scott literally mentioned low cost areas. Haha fu buddy.

If Splunk is the next-best-thing-since-sliced-bread...
If Splunk makes mad dosh for Cisco when AppD doesn't... Why would they keep 4k working in AppD...
When 4k working in Splunk are so much better?

Entire CX org is moving to India and Mexico. If you're in CX and not based in India or Mexico, you will be replaced by a new hire in those 2 locations. Net loss will be 6k companywide.

Splunkers got a message that GS was involved, I expect Splunk will also face cuts, maybe not as many proportionally based on the repeated name dropping on half the slides.

They did not want to say that "Cloud" (which I read as CX Cloud) underperformed, but in QA kinda confirmed this between the lines. They immediately mentioned reorganization and resource reallocation, which I read as "CX will be one of the main focuses of LR".

This is the most farfetched conclusion I made however, for rest I am more certain of. I kinda used some knowledge outside of this call regarding to situation at CX.

Scott is the ax-man... been cutting heads since he got here.

Does anyone got email or 1:1 regarding lrs yet ?

They fellated themselves throughout the call how great Splunk acquisition has been, and will be for growth.
It was funny because they gave stats w/ and w/o Splunk, and it would seem that without Splunk Cisco made no money.
So that's what I read as "Splunk won't be touched".

Did they say specifically cx cut in half?

They said that "wireless" made record sales and subscriptions which exceeded expectations. I read this as "Meraki will be minimally affected by LR".

He actually said " The efficiencies will be accrued by moving to lower Cost locations"

Where did they say AppD completely cut?

LR....LR...another LR....nothing to see here eh Scott? Business as usual.

How do you know splunk is safe?
