Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Everything is good while the company has growth.

Take everything you read on the net with a huge grain of salt - here is my #gold advice...

This is a good company but it has it's own issues. Every company does.

I have almost 35 years of experience and my rule of thumb is this: if a company grows, everyone is happy, positions open up, you always need more people and people are generally appreciated.

As the growth stalls, issues start to surface, it becomes hard to move up, people become tense. Your maneuvering space shrinks.

Once the company starts to shrink, it's outright painful and every day is just a sh--show. Infighting starts, backstabbing becomes rampant, etc.

It's up to you to figure where where we are today... Growth, Flat, Shrinking???

Well, I certainly think that @VXCpnn1-joe nailed it with this post. Definitely deserves to be a thread.

A prime indicator is how lay-offs roll out. A growing company has very generous package with training and real effort in finding you a new place in the company. As the cancer spreads profits drop, the package gets smaller and there is no place to put you. Finally walking dead companies have continuous layoffs with minimal or no package to speak of and a focus by management on fake accounting to delay death to milking it as long as possible
