Come on over to NSX
Those of us who saw the writing on the wall long ago have already bailed. Cisco's a sinking ship. Come on over to VMWare NSX! Rainbows with Leprichauns and Unicorns are everywhere! All the years I worked at Cisco, I worried about my job. Don't even... — read more

There’s never been a better time ...
to quit !
Now where would I wear that Thank you John, Chuck Rocks(or Cisco Rocks) or whatever T-Shirt?
This is the best place to live, work, and play. That is surely the perception I had, have (...and might have) Why is Cisco doing this to Engineers, I have clue. I read another thread here, stating - as executives are not able to 'execute plan', they... — read more
Layoff from a manager standpoint
Been at Cisco for over 12 years, and this is probably the worst Layoff ever, from a communication standpoint everyone has been in the dark, the rumor of the numbers are insane, I though Chuck would be a better leader and have right minded people... — read more
Cisco, like other networking tech companies, is old lady of industry
the networking/telecoms/IT sector is mature and deflationary. Rapidly declining ASPs, open source, cheap labour help accelerate this, which is good for end customers and bad for fat management in public companies. growth will be flat to decline in SP... — read more
And then there are those of us who should be laid off and will not be...
It's really sad to look at all of the people genuinely concerned about being laid off when there are those, like me, who know we should be and will not. Why? Because our execs chose to lay off senior people with a lot of great classic Cisco hw/sw... — read more
If CRN report of 14K Layoffs is incorrect then why Cisco didn't vehemently deny it?
Cisco so far has refused to comment on media reports. Why are they not denying those media reports. It is a PR disaster for Cisco. I have not seen a single Cisco HR, PR, Media Spokesperson deny it on any social media site. WHY? At least Cisco can... — read more

strategy for cisco to survive in cloud...?
imho they need to buy a smaller cloud hosting provider (say rackspace) to gain their own playing field to deploy cloud sw products and try to scale/popularize that as a reference to enterprises . pretty much all the other big providers (amazon... — read more
Less than 24 hours before the Purge- take day off.
It's hard to concentrate because the finance and hr snake about to unleash their layoff plan. Executive managers (cfo, c-suit, etc) have proved for the last 5 years they can not plan or execute to a plan so they execute people. If they were so good... — read more
Cisco lost the cloud!
I presume if you get laid off it will be the best thing that happened to you (if you are an engineer). I from one, will leave Cisco if I am not laid off... Cisco is not a family and the top leaders are not held accountable for their stupid mistakes... — read more
It's not about software skills transition.
The rumors are true about the layoffs, but the spin is total bullshit. This layoff is not about a transition from hardware roots to a software stance. This is about the new leadership team taking out cost by letting older more experienced people to... — read more
