G12 in SBG engineering let go today. I cant say it has been great working here because the management has always impeded promotions to PE but I did enjoy my time here. 6 year veteran and would have liked to continue. I wish each and everyone the... — read more 

Who was impacted?

Most seem to be in their late 40s and over. Does this mean there are grounds for age discrimination?

I know it's finally over, but I don't feel any better. So many good people lost and for what? The only thing this will do is give us a short-term bump in profit. In the long term, this will cost Cisco more than those who run this show realize. You... — read more

Tuesday is Mid Autumn Festival here and it is a holiday. Maybe Wednesday will be notifications.

Any detail about LR package in Canada. Is it same as USA 2+4months?

I had subscribed to Coursera and Udemy business from Cisco Learning portal, which said annual subscription couple of months back. Will I have the access till Nov 15 or it will be gone from tomorrow?

What jobs have been targeted? Reply with what BU/team/function/location so we can get an idea of the impacts.

Anybody got impacted?

is there anyone who isn't an exec that is happy and proud to work for Cisco? Imagine you were making the same and could pick any other company. Would you stay? No HR shills or contract social media people need respond.

What I learned, while being LR, is that a lot of IC were LR and no leadership were LR. How on EARTH this ELT does not see that there are too many “leaders” will continue to be the downfall of Cisco. There is ZERO reason for there to be 3 VPs... — read more 

I got the brutal bot type update from manager . I couldn’t pay attention to all the details he was giving me. Am I expected to work during 60 day period and transition work ?

Were Canada Employees notified today too?

Looks like its all done.

Does,anyone know the headcount, as per the news last month.it was 6000 across the globe?? How much is in USA?

Curious if anyone from previous LR landed a role internally and how realistic this is?

Are all notifications out?

I just told my team I am pregnant few weeks ago and now I have a 1:1 with my manager tomorrow for the LR. Is this even legal, what should I do? I am so stressed out and my health insurance will be lost. #cisco #layoff #ciscolayoffs

Seems like Scott is getting rid of far more than 7%. Many worthless VP's and leaders he could've chosen.

Found this on BLND 'Twas the night before the layoffs, and all through the firm, Not a manager was stirring, not even a term. The memos were prepared, with foreboding intent, In hopes that come morning, the dread would relent. The employees... — read more 

Don't take what you read here as gospel. There's a lot of people who are understandably angry. Some were impacted, some not. Reading through the threads there are details that just don't add up in some of them. I assume that most posts are being... — read more
