Unfortunately, 30k employees just lost their job today at Amazon. We don't know how many Cisco will let go next month due to AI but definitely less than 7k globally.

You won't be laid off until you train your AI agent and/or your replacement in Bangalore.
Cisco doesn't care about holidays, Santa or Jesus. LRs hit several times a year with random timing. That's been a constant factor for a decade.
@e7 of course they will. Monkey see, monkey do.
Stock is at record high. No layoff.
I know the messaging from ELT is that everything is booming Cisco & no worries ahead. But, I have gnawing feeling that regardless Cisco will follow the layoff trends escalating right now & announced a headcount before next year… Praying that it ain’t so, crossing my fingers before the holidays season.
which part of your rear produced the Nov 13 date ?
@a8 it’s the most wonderful time of the year, Caught Robbin is plottin’ and the backlog is building to spread merry cheer! It’s the most wonderful time of the yeaaaaaaarrrr
@am you clearly aren’t working at Cisco in Nov 2022 after a “record quarter”. Get your head out of the sand
I call BS, major layoffs are mostly in August or February.
happens every year right before the holidays, since no one would be working, lost of productivity but still getting paid
Cisco isn't laying anyone of "due to AI"
Don’t see any news like that anywhere.
Yeah, just heard it as well... why layoff before Holiday? I understand a startup that’s going bankrupt wants to layoff before Christmas. Why does a multi billion dollar company layoff people during holiday season?
Couldn’t Cisco have waited another 2 months to announce the layoffs?
Where will they find jobs during Christmas? Heartless ELT souls
