Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Is the late notice due to LR’ing 12 & above?

If sr mgt is impacted that could mean shifting and shuffling direct reports which can take time.

What kind of movement in P&C?

I also heard this from a reliable source. Layoffs starting high up. VPs were hit today. Lots of movement in P&C.

This theory seems plausible. That’s the thing that has seemed the most different about this one compared to previous years: how even directors/senior directors are given really no information at all. They seem to know about as much as ICs.

Makes sense if a lot of them will be LR’d themselves.

Doubt it. G2 just needs some time integrating into networking before the LR lists are made. Not that it is necessary

MM was temporarily moved into a “consultant” role to allow for transition time. Even then there were still a brunch of tools and workflows broken. This theory makes a lot of sense for why they’d want more time to shift huge reporting lines.

If this were true, when MM was LR'ed, there would have been a delay. I don't believe there was one.

This is what I'm thinking too. If your layoffs include directors and VPs, you're going to re-evaluate who gets laid off underneath them once their replacement takes over.

Wondering if it could mean the opposite as well, targeting more lower level employees. Offshoring things like TAC and other customer facing support roles take time. Most areas already operate at max capacity, so will people be asked to train their own cheaper replacements? Its happening everywhere else!

Good theory.

Yes. Aug 19th is when rewards open. Get existing leaders to fill in, then axe. My bosses boss has almost zero clue what I, my peers, or any of my team do (and frankly, not sure my boss knows much either... was hired for relationships not skills or intelligence).

Could be. Good thought. So many systems depend on management approval and it royally sc--ws things up if that manager is "gone."

Good thought but generally that takes some clear thinking yiu haven't normally seen since P&C took over the LR process
