@sw people hate you as they want layoffs! Lmao 😂.
@sw Depends a lot on what part of the business you are in. It seeems like anyone in CAI or those assocaited BEs are safe (at least until Aug)
Quiet layoffs starting in May with Armageddon happening in August after fy26 close. Bank on it.
Hey! Just wanted to confirm that there aren't any layoffs, and we're actually getting some new people joining us. Believe me! You can check back on this comment after May 15th to see.
It’s approaching earnings so you get the 🤡🤡 commentators predicting 20-30% cuts, which are obviously rubbish. But this time, I’m getting rumours from serious people that are minting BIG numbers for some business units.
Given the gullibility of our execs for all things AI, this time I think it might be true.
I've heard some people say 1500%.
I've got 30% from the gentleman here on the left. Any other bids? Do I hear 35% over there? 40%? Let's keep those bids coming. I have 90%. Yes, 90% ladies and gentlemen! Mr Robbins thank you so much for this very generous offer, you won't be disappointed!
@OP is spot on. 30% is what his org was told to jettison. Other orgs will be more and less, depending on profitability.
Outshift and AppD type orgs are at serious risk vs Switching and AI related DC.
@br Yup! I got the call while on the sh----r 99.99% was gonna be hit
@ad sir, all those parasites decide who gets LR'ed, Why would they put themself on LR.
Fake news
Rumor is it’s going to be 99.6%.
Anybody else hear about that?
have heard similar numbers and will depend on group how deep. 30 is likely for underperforming orgs
Senior Exec told you to look for a role ? You sound like a G8 at most. Nobody is talking to low grades like you let alone sharing anything with you
I love how the number goes up every time someone comes here to post made up sh-t. Can we get 50% next?
Just need 10% of engineers to fix broken code...
Unless something changed drastically the vast majority of Cisco's development budget went to bug fixing. As a customer I'd like to more bodies of far greater talent knocking down technical debt.
30% is a desperation move which would destroy the stock price. I could see 3500-7000.
Just need 10% of engineers to fix broken code since there is no innovation.
Cut sales in half and be partner led sales
Most at Cisco are just parasitic fat slowing the company down and just mouths at meetings that contribute nothing other than load yet more work on the few that actually do the work. I’d say they could get rid of 50% of the company.
it won't be good for cisco customers, when they cut 30% usually they cut people doing real work(muscles) and retain most of the fat. Its better to do 5% over 6 times.
@a3 100% agree with you!!!
Cisco has too much bloat.
I would not be surprised. I would say Cisco can layoff at least 60% its workforce and it would not hurt its business. Maybe it would even help 🙄
