July & August layoffs?

I heard a rumor that there will be layoffs on July 15th, and then more on August 15th? Has anyone heard about this? Not sure if it's even true, or what departments.

Q2 earnings reports are expected to be on July 30th, so the July 15 layoffs would be ahead of that call. I overheard this information before the reports that the EU approval for the WBD acquisition is July 7th.

Reflections from someone who was LR'd

First, I wasn't surprised by my LR nor am I bitter. We all know Cisco is a cost-manager first and foremost, and there is still so much that can (and will) be cut from Cisco (and every other large tech co).

I actually applied to some internal roles, mostly for yucks. One HR screen for an SRE position but it was clear they really just wanted someone cheap and low-skill. Hard to get excited about anything internal when you know how Cisco is run.

Otherwise it is quite brutal out there. The traditional job search (resume, apply, interview, offer) is completely over-saturated and time-consuming. I don't think Cisco on my resume is seen as good or bad...it is a name people have heard of but doesn't impress like a FAANG. So you can't expect to get a pass based on your experience.

Interview prep and tech screens are much more absurdly difficult than anytime I can remember. I feel like I am cramming for the SAT. Problem is, every day I spend prepping is another day lost to other things I could be doing. The opportunity cost feels high.

On top of all of this, I have noticed an undeniable trend - declining published salaries ranges.

Companies know this is a buyer's market and are flipping the table on candidates.

I feel really bad for candidates who need $$$ to pay bills ASAP. I wonder how many will just drop out of tech.

As for me, I am going to be an entrepreneur out of necessity. I feel like I am in a su---r's game and I am just wasting week after week chasing what shouldn't be an impossible dream - a moderately decent job in my field - but it is what it is.


Inside Baseball

So grateful for those who are sharing information about upcoming layoffs and potential dates, etc.. At the very least, it gives employees a chance to be prepared. Living with the unexpected has become normalized. Executive leadership does not care how this affects productivity and morale. With a stock price that closed at $40.88, you would think that they would lean in hard to any advantage, like, you know, talented staff whose favor had been curried by their support. Question: thought that TPO had been laid off, but for Bob. He sure must be busy these days.


July Layoff - Should I hold off on giving notice?

I've now heard from multiple people that the next layoff is planned for July 16th. Does anyone know what areas of the company are targeted? Is it more geared towards the retail stores? I am in FinOps and planning on submitting my two weeks notice later this month. Should I hold off? Do they really give any weight to people volunteering for the RIF? Thanks in advance.

Managed Services layoffs June 1st

5ish people let go on a team of just over 50. Our department had lost multiple managed services customers since January with no new clients coming in the door. It seems that the staff losses which started in Professional Services at the end of last year are now accelerating. Client churn had always been higher than other MSPs and has only gotten worse since moving to an offshore-first service delivery strategy.


No communication since notice

Since I was notified that my last day is June 5th, I have not been contacted by anyone. My immediate supervisor has not been contacted by anyone. He has never been told by anyone that I have been laid off. I find this to be absolutely ludicrous and completely ridiculous, but I have not heard from anyone regarding any closing process. Is there any kind of interview? Exit interview or anything? Is this normal for me not to have heard anything?


Layoff talk has changed the whole workplace

I have been through several restructurings before in other companies and here, but this latest situation feels different. Management keeps mentioning budget pressure and possible cuts during meetings, even when the topic has nothing to do with staffing. It has now started to feel less like planning and more like a way to keep people from questioning decisions and keeping us in our lane.


Layoffs are starting

Geoff got all choked up…

Thought he was gonna cry saying goodbye to his buddy Brett on the earnings call. Clearly he didn’t want to fire him and EM forced his hand. Neuroscience performance was awful (again)… when was the last time they hit plan??? Getting rid of Brett was long overdue— Geoff you are next


Good employees are being pushed out

They're either being laid off or pressured to quit. I don't know what an advantage of getting rid of the best part of your workforce could be either in the short or the long run. Shouldn't we be making sure they remain here? Isn't that what a good company would be doing?


Silent layoffs

Major layoff rounds don't scare me. Those come and go and by the end of them we know where we stand. It's the constant silent layoffs that are destroying me. They can happen at any moment to any of us. That's the real problem with T. That's what's making me lose sleep.

PSP

I was laid off last month and wondering if anyone has heard anything about PSP this year and know when we should hear if it’s being paid and what it will look like ?


Need advice on labor attorney

Don't know if this is the right place as this board mentions layoffs, but lately there have been no layoffs yet people are quietly disappearing from IBM. They are handed out a PIP and then right after the end date they are gone. Does anybody know of a good attorney who can take up the case for wrongful termination?


Worked there 20 years, laid off with no warning and minimal severance

The first 18 years, working as part of VUE, were great. I was valued, respected, and my contributions meant something. The along comes Omar, and VUE largely gets absorbed into corporate, the Azure migration occurred, and the culture changed dramatically. Dave Treat really likes to listen to himself talk, Omar and the rest of senior leadership are too busy jet-setting to set a clear strategy. The cherry on top came in May when I was unexpectedly laid off after 20 years, with a whopping 8 weeks of severance. Hello early retirement, goodbye toxic workplace.
