Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Return to office

It has been said time and time again that Return to Office is not mandated. Yet leadership has mentioned that there will be people walking around auditing who is present. Has Cisco gone full on micro managing?

I refuse to go in, the environment is counterproductive to getting anything done.

If Cisco has a problem with that hand me a package and I'll be happily on my way.

RTO is still not a company mandate. It's either specific to your function (your Mgr/Dir/VP) and/or it's WPR checking space utilization b/c Cisco is trying to determine which buildings to sell. Very likely the latter b/c Cisco is still actively reducing real-estate holdings in some cities.

Cisco has software to track people via Webex and cameras. Plus building access badge readers have all check-in details. Cisco monitors what people are doing during office hours.

Cisco removed the cubes and offices and instead provide open space with workstations with phones and monitors. Can one do any work in such environments is anyone guess.

It depends on the org you work for. No one in Sales is expected in the office.

I think those not coming or spending 7-8 hours daily in office are selected for next layoffs.
