I’m considering a manager position with GVS in RTP- yes, I know this is a layoff site, but I’m looking for information about long term potential. Is GVS a high layoff team? What is the general turnover like? Pay seems good, but I’m wary to join due... — read more 

Has anyone received the severance pay deposit or know what day we will get paid?

Cisco IBN strategy is in shambles. DNAC is the worst ever product in Cisco history and they have lost more $$ revenue to competition than actually selling the product. Its so bad that people don't even want to talk about it... Who would you fire... — read more 

Cisco has recently announced a new CFO, but are more changes on the way? When Maria and Gerri joined Cisco, both said they were here for three years and that time is almost up. Any thoughts on likely replacements? Internal or external... — read more

I am a bystander in all this but I can't help asking this question: Since Cisco has been doing senseless layoffs for so many years, most probably by now there are more ex-employees outside of the company than employee within the company There is a... — read more 

What happened to the IOT thread? Truth to the sales team being cut?

You heard it here first. Cisco will merge with Microsoft within the next 6 months.

It is simple. Stop worry about LR. It eventually will happen. When you work at Cisco, save most of your money. Live cheap. Once LR'd, if you can say last at least 15 years, you will have enough to not have to get another series of... — read more 

Hello, has anyone received the severance pay deposited? I was thinking it would be today ...

This corruption must be exposed!

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cisco-shares-jump-more-8-211818618.html then why are you LR'ing us?

Are you happy we got something (after all, 2020 is a horrible year) - or, are you upsed because you were expecting more?

Curious - what is the consensus on the Customer Success Specialist roles within CX? Are these positions to avoid? Are they high risk for LR? How is overall job satisfaction?

The WW VP who just left and went to the IOT company that sounds like drizzle will leave a huge hole in our internal programs and probably cause 100’s of customers in the Midwest US to rethink their loyalty.

Anyone know how common RSUs are? Grade 11 or 12 in RTP ? How many are being distributed ?

That's my takeaway from that carnival of incompetence.

Cisco is providing the illusion of transparency to avoid any real risk. They also have been in this insane layoff cycle for DECADES, keeping employees in a permanent state of fight or flight fear. Draining and toxic. ITS ALL FAKE. Managers in our... — read more 

I have not seen anyone comment on this or maybe I had missed it, but instead of once a year a layoff taking place it will be twice a year. How ? Leadership ( — HAHAHHAHAHAA I know right ? ) stated they are going to evaluate the companies direction... — read more

I'm hoping they might be better?

Umbrella?

Anyone know how they constructed the UKI severance package, I’ve been there 18 years and was given 9 months + pilon. Seemed a bit of a random number so was wondering if it’s based on service or the same for everyone.

Do Juniper and other routers cost less? Why?

Just wondered if anyone has received their severance pay if left Oct 31 early out. Wondered what date I will see deposit.

Is entire IT getting ready to be outsourced and they named it as "Transformation"?

I first became aware of Cisco around 1991 by doing some testing that involved the Cisco AGS+. Around 1999 I worked for a company that was a Cisco partner in the development of NMS platforms. I believe at some point that year Cisco was the most... — read more 

I keep seeing interesting threads that disappear. I know Cisco watches this site like a hawk, and I assume they object to certain themes, but any idea what the boundaries are?

Still waiting.

IT is horrible lately. My impression is that all IT has been outsourced to India. Is there any IT support left in North America?

Or is it gonna happen tomorrow

Rumor mills going around the water cooler that another big LR is on the way. Date is one of those 2. What are you folks hearing? The Feds will increase corporate taxes, no more stock buybacks. And Obama care rates are going up again

As marketed by Cisco - this is the game-changer for the company. They are competing with the likes of Zscaler/PAN and Netskope and can win, thats what SBG leadership is making whole ELT believe – thoughts?
