Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

It’s the most terrible time of the year

It’s just gross that layoffs are coming. They can’t seem to find a time to do it except around the US holidays. It was better in the old days when they’d do it in August. But no…. They decide names in Nov and plan to do it later winter.

I mean there is never a good time but having a dark cloud over the holidays just stinks. Thanks ELT! I hope you can’t sleep at night!

Yep. Unless it’s Vin Diesel saying it, “family” means nothing.

They sure have protected the very unethical though for the last 10+ yrs, even with warnings, with reports, rumours and when those actions will likely get leaked.

Layoff the bad, not the good. Look into your employees histories in much more detail. Go over anything that could be participation in perjury, aiding/abetting or associations that could cause irreperable reputational damage.

Remember saying "learn to code" though?
