Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

All the "lay offs are happening"topics are BS

There are a couple of individuals around here that are overdue for a doctor visit. There is a repeating pattern of making and posting unsupported and illogical statements that have no sense. Every single time when the layoffs happened there was a script from HR that had to be presented to the managers and there was training on that. This was also precede by some internal announcements even if the public statement included explicit or implicit indications of comming layoffs.
Smaller companies could and would lay you off in a blink of an eye. That is not the case for companies of this size. You can't leak info about comming LRs before the public statements and you can not give anybody a training in this respect. This would be similar with leaking insider trading information and the repercussions would outweight the LR "gains"

Right, because there weren’t astronomically large layoffs under Biden?

Some people love it, some people hate it, but all people with any connection to reality acknowledge that instability has been greatly increased.

It'll be interesting to see how many employees Cisco reports as having and the end of this fiscal year because after layoffs they always seem to grow back quickly.

If this site is not true then why the F do you waste your time reading and commenting on this site?

Someone has to correct the stupid for the handful who can learn each round of layoffs and it's clearly not going to be you.

"Sure, 2 out of 52 times, someone is right. That does not make the information here accurate. No wonder you got laid off!"

Lay Offs happened on 5/15. Our BU has been hit hard, at least 20% of the workforce. Probably didn’t hit the broader Cisco most people here has no idea. It was unexpected.

this site is for laughs only, just like any site that allows anonymous posts

you don't even know if people posting here even work for cisco...they could even be d-mb posting bots some college student wrote

maybe now and then we get something factual here...even a blind squirrel finds a nut eventually

I was laid off last year and the information provided in this page was 100% accurate.
Yes, leaks are possible regardless of the size of the company.
You can absolutely get to the layoff list in a blink of an eye, then your manager will micromanage you, all the new projects will go to your managers friends, etc. Your fault? Being too honest and speaking up about the technical issues.
When there is favoritism and corruption instead of recognizing talent in a company, anything is possible.

According to this fine website, we have layoffs every coming week.

Sure, 2 our of 52 times, someone is right. That does not make the information here accurate. No wonder you got laid off!

how do you know? prove you have access to layoff.com db by deleting this comment.

A lot of folks here have access to HR's list of forthcoming layoffs. Why should this person not have access to the layoff.com's db?

Yes 100% layoff. It's better now than in the fall in some ways

More or less.
Less people will be fired, you will compete with fewer than before
More economical instability due to the orange guy
