Isn't all this $hitshow actually playing into millennials' and younger folks mentality and they really like it ? From what I could see they mostly have zero empathy, are totally self-obsessed, tend to think that someone owns them a recognition... — read more 

Just seeing if anyone has worked out the day our bank accounts see the money!

Less than a week after LR, Cisco announces proudly they are #1 on the Worlds Best Workplaces List. Who voted??

in reality, Cisco doesn't need to layoff folks. With $11b+ cash in the bank, Cisco could weather the storm and reallocate/train employees to divisions that need them. But noooo.....that would mean mgmt would actually have to work, instead of hitting... — read more 

As long as Cisco continues promoting the wrong people who have no experience and very little knowledge in the field they're being promoted in, we will continue to fail. It's as simple as that. They can lay off people if they have competent managers... — read more 

Seriously, why no one brings this up during check in? Layoff maybe once a year might be acceptable. With the employee churn so high, don't the upper management think it's a bad strategy? How about the board of directors? If new grads don't join, I... — read more 

Does anyone know what’s happening with Commercial organization at Cisco. Seems like big changes but it’s all hush hush right now.

instead of innovation where the expertise actually is, a new Incubation-BU will try to do it with zero domain experience in the respective techno areas, More wasteful repetition inside cisco

Why are there so many?

Pls dont downvote this post just because i want to get a scoop about the gutter How many impacted in CSG and Insieme?

Some interesting changes have occurred in networking. For example, Enterprise networks, nowadays looks a lot more like data center (core, distribution/aggregatation, access) collapsed to (Leaf and Spine). And L3 replaced Spanning Tree. But more... — read more 

This Q has been shamelessly stolen from @OP+17nTuC8P

This will be the more traditional layoff model Cisco has perfected. Q2 earnings announcement on 2/10/21 or 2/17/21, with notification to Wall Street of another $1B cost reduction (perhaps more). Layoffs take place the next day, or Tuesday of the next... — read more 

Didnt hear of much impact in our group.

Hi, Im impacted by LR. I am in sales, and achieved my W9 target, and most likely going to achieve my W13. Will Cisco pay my spiff?

I'm impacted. And am on the fence about trying to stay or go. I have a lot of great colleagues who are busting over backwards to find a place for me to stay in Cisco. I love them, but I've got to ask if it is worth it. Honestly, I don't have an... — read more 

What has it been in the past, and is there any extra for long service? Any idea what it might be this time?

So there are plenty posts about layoffs in US or Australia but did EU got hit also? I've seen one post about Portugal but is that only it? Rest of the EU is safe or EU will be hit by phase 2 in december?

List the rough impact number by the BU if you know it. keep score here on this thread

SDX central says only 9% were laid off. But UK and EMEA lay offs are in the offing. So that’s not part of this number. More like 15% ?... — read more

Cisco is on a downward spiral, it is not even news anymore. I still do not understand why Cisco has sales reps when the channel does all the work.

Ugh so painful but I’m glad to be finally out.

What's your estimate of a fair value?

Are all LR impacted folks got their bonus in SEP. OR if reduced then how much.

There will be promotions this Fall, won't there? If I recall correctly, this Fall's salary raises (merit and promotion based) will be replaced by RSUs. Let's see what we get. God, how do I hate RSUs. I want salary raises as I get them... — read more 

Standard Exit is a couple of days before Thanksgiving. Hearing all that stayed having a good time while everyone else suffering on the exit. This will affect many with emotional issues.

I am hearing of approximately 6 LRs in IBNG (folks working with ISE). Reading everything I am here, there has to be more. Anyone hear anything more?

I got LR'ed and i am in a sales specialist role. Hit above target all the years i have been in Cisco. At the end of the day they said it was due to purely Opex cuts. How many have been affected in EMEAR?

There were people in CPS centre in Lisbon laidoff on Friday. Anyone reading this know more ?

seems there is a lot of consolidation / merging of groups like N9K and N8K etc - any idea what is happening to the server group? will they shift to an ODM model?

All San Jose NCEs, PMs, Managers and Directors were let go. RTP also got hit very badly lost many NCEs and Manager. Handful of NCEs are left behind. Partner will take over collector support work 100%.
