#concern

because they dont know whats going on... and not feeling the heat because they are more engaged in retiring than managing.

Begone!

Please let the next round of layoffs happen to all the useless MDs

Is the Wilmington site due to close?? Because man that place is a ghost town!! Huge waste of money

Look, we know you're monitoring this website. Shoot, it wouldn't be at all surprising if one of your VPs spent half the day refreshing this... or if you paid someone a Store Director's salary to do the same.

So, seriously, just between us: what's your plan?

We all have families, obligations... pets. We're doing our best to support our campuses, support our teams and continue our lives while you keep doing your best to make those things impossible.

So, again...what's your plan?

Asking for a friend.

How did my HGO OD not get impacted. He does not live in the operation. He is out of touch. He states everyone that does not agree with him or do what he says should be fired. Maybe he is should be fired. It is his way or the highway. He does not play well with others. My RM says he needs to go. My SE gets little support from SEM and SSEM. JA, look at the HGO numbers. New leadership is needed in HGO.

Stock is bleeding out. Will the cuts help?

Were there calls held with various teams about the upcoming layoffs? Was it only a Directors call only, AD call, or were the calls held with the teams potentially affected. I am in an affected group per these post but was not invited to any call Friday.

Is the drop in stock price and the poor economy a matter of concern? I am worried if it will lead to more layoffs. Am I barking up the wrong tree on this one? My husband just got laid off and we have a year old daughter so I I am really worried. Anyone think or heard anything?

It's all doom and gloom. Is this AI wave really going to affect people?

Nothing but fear mongering on this site.

Cisco doesn’t care about you, why should you care about Cisco? Why work hard to make projects successful.

Hey Guys!

Anyone from Asset Management department in US affected by the layoffs? Really hope that the impact there is minimal or hopefully non existent.

Any idea if the greater Texas Wellmed case management team will be affected with the May or June RIFs? RN case manager just wondering if we are next.

So is it still happening on Monday ?

Layoffs are around the corner. I am feeling so bad.

Intuit fires people due to Covid. Intuit fires people due to AI. Intuit fires people silently from time to time. Intuit only cares about $.

Not to sound like a person‘s paranoid… But as they say, if it’s true, you’re not paranoid: has anybody posted anything on this site and then found out and fired?

Here’s a punchier version:

To everyone who comes here wishing they’d get surplused — your wish just came true.
The rumors are real. Cuts are coming, and they’re happening fast.
If you hate this job, go tell your supervisor to put your name on the list. Do it for the person who actually needs this job and is about to lose it.
Stop complaining. Start acting.

I was laid off a couple of month's ago.
Out of curiosity, I sent a test email to my old address to see what happened. There was no bounce back reply from the server.
Does that mean my mailbox is still active and someone like my old boss has control of it now?

WTF?

I have 1:1 in the afternoon, am I safe ?

can confirm that LR hit Meraki as well. not sure of scale. but at least one sr mgr I know just got slack profile deactivated. this could just be the start and more coming in the later waves.

Gotta love how these companies do layoffs.
No one tells you the notification timeline or process to determine whether safe or not

So glad not a new hire or a person with 30 years to work

Where do you get money after layoffs to buy shitTel?? Who is actually buying shitTel ?

I feel nauseous.

Today is a reminder that job cuts do not just happen to struggling employees or people doing the bare minimum. Some of the smartest and most respected people I know here were affected too, including people with years of experience and records most teams would want to keep. Not sure how this is supposed to benefit Cisco in the long run, but the leadership seems to think it will.

Am I the only one feeling that the NetIQ has terrible interface design and is terrible to use?

If so then I want to be paid for it. No cr-ppy AI company is allowed to use my voice, intimidation, or anything activated with me to train their cr-ppy bots.

The new head of strategy was supposed to retire after the Hess integration. Why didn’t he? Is it because we don’t have anyone else capable?

"With this, we are making changes today that will result in the reduction of our overall workforce in Q4 by fewer than 4,000 jobs, representing less than 5 percent of our total employee base."

Basically, he's saying it's just 4k jobs, no biggie. He doesn't give a damn that so many families are about to lose their livelihood. It's less than 5 percent, so it's all good. Just a small nuisance, nothing else.

If you were in a war zone, how would you feel about having your division head with you in a fox hole? I would have been happy to have certain previous division heads with me. Not my current one. Would anyone want to be with their current divsion head in a fox hole during a war?

I am about to be let go from a group that was supporting a mature, well-known product that should have been practically free money for Cisco. Instead, it was a source of constant agony for customers who suffered numerous outages, resulting in angry phone calls. What do you think people like this think when they read the news? Time to pick another vendor.

I feel bad for my fellow employees today, but I feel just as bad for customers who have unwisely entered into contracts for this bottom-feeding outsource chop-shop.

Is it a bad sign when the Man you work for does not want you to communicate with your teammates on M.S. teams?

I’m sure there is a plan and it seems the first rule of Dan’s plan is not to talk about Dan’s plan

I’m just guessing but it would make sense if the plan is so unpalatable to existing employees that the leadership cannot be open about it

Only PIPs?

I wake up every day scared that today's the day. I can't concentrate. My work is slipping. Is anyone else feeling this, or is it just me?

What happened to the "Corrupt DXE..." post? Great post - very informative, detailed, & with references. Some good responses as well.

Did an administrator pull the post? Or, one of the leaders that was called out? My concern is that OP, who was laid off last week, pulled the post out of fear of losing his/her severance.

Do we know what it will be? I'm a relatively new hire, so I'm not sure if that puts me at higher risk. Is it last one in, first one out or performance based or something else entirely?

The lack of major layoffs is for paramount employees. WB will be decimated. There are few jobs here that is not completely redundant at paramount. WB should have bought paramount not the other way around. To the victor belong the spoils.

Now that the finish line is getting closer, do we think this is true?

Let's be honest about what's happening at Humana. Constant turnover, good people leaving every month, reorgs that make everything worse, leadership saying one thing while we see something else entirely. Who can think this is a good way to run a company?
