Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

CX was bloated, V2Momma did a long over due cleanup

In my team of 9 people, only 4 are left. We used to do bug scrubs for 2 major customers. It is an easy job even a high school dropout can do it. Not gonna lie, it used to take me only 45 minutes to do my days' work. Rest of the time I would be surfing the net watching youtube videos or just playing video games. Now that 5 of our team mates are gone, I still don't see much work. Maybe this V2Momma can chop the other 2 as that's all it requires to do bug scrubs (one for each customer).

This place is making me a lazy slob, but I would be a fool to complain about it. The cuts wont stop here, so I'm preparing for my next role by upgrading my skills. I think AWS is a hot skill now and I will be learning this in the new year.

To the unlucky ones who got axed, I hope you find something soon.

Bug scrub is the worst, career killing job for intelligent new grads seeking fun and ways to contribute. It is fit for lazy and worthless asses in Blr so called experience center

The truth comes out finally. It was an open secret that work on bug scrubs does not involve 3 business days or 5 business days as team always projects. Red Badge sourcing person through an early in carrier engineer to Manager to Director always told it takes more than this amount of time - reason to build their empire of Human Resources & related budgets. Anyone who challenged this was physically Mentally Psychologically mutated in due course of time.

This Layoff shows immaturity of the ELT.

Good for you young man (or woman). Now if ELT or V2Momma comes across your post, it would embolden them to cut more heads. You are not a smart a-- for posting this.
