When is the PL&I bonus to be paid this year.

Where would you place it?

Forget engineering and join legal. It's dynamic and creative, they are busy but well compensated. Cisco has developed this competency like no other company and this tells you a lot about the direction of the company - extract and protect is the... — read more 

It’s maddening how toxic this place is. So many layoffs, no budgets for promotions raises etc. everyone is just so burned out in my org. Layoff after layoff, doing more with less. Meanwhile, record sales and the company livestreams GSX to all of... — read more 

Imagine you’re one of a seller’s customers and you’ve just spent $2 million on Cisco security products. You’ve spent months negotiating discounts, explaining budget pressure, and hearing that the seller has pushed internally to get you “the absolute... — read more 

Im wondering if the 4 hours on the clock training we are granted per month and the AI My Agent that was announced are going to be delegated by Cisco on what we study and if we use the Agent or not.

We've got staff with no drive, broken management, layoffs of experienced people, and no growth path. Other than that, everything's fine.

I reached out to former coworkers after I left and received nothing in return. Months of silence. Then suddenly they were the ones asking for job leads and I had zero incentive to respond. I realized all of us made the same mistake. If you want help... — read more

Well.. you all are fu---d based on what was just said on thebeat..

Personally, I am 3+ years into coasting as Cisco. I work maybe 15 hour weeks prompting AI & making up nonsense to make myself look busy, and just abuse the sh-t out of the work from home policy or coffee badge into the office and sit around watching... — read more

Anyone know what happened?

Is the wealth that our nation and economy create being distributed to the working class? This is a serious question, not trolling, just watching news recently and asking myself questions about this as I see a fair level of pent up anger on both left... — read more 

Were there actually any confirmed layoffs (or of people you know) following the earnings? What areas if so?

Why are people in their 40s looking to get out of Cisco? I am told Cisco has a very chill environment and people are happy to work there. I am seeing posts here on people voluntarily leaving and it’s scaring me, as I am currently looking to join the... — read more 

How's it looking on cuts?

5 people left our team in the last 2 months. Everyone else is looking for new jobs. It’s becoming genuinely concerning, seems like a race on who’s going to get out first.

I’m seeing only 10 paid days for new employees in Cisco. Usually other companies offer 14-28 paid days based on joining time and service. Is this correct or am I mistaken? Also is the work life balance in UI/UX teams any good?

Is oddly different. gone are the days of ppl posting about "holy sh-t am I losing my job today?" to.. "TAKE ME PLEASE!!" or "Dear god, wtf hasn't my # come up yet?" or "man I hope tommorrow had a 15m 1:1 when I wake up!"

As expected & rumored

The Commercial Central Area did not show up in FY26. New Area and Operation Leaders are needed. The other areas have their act together based on all the accolades they received.

Offshoring or AI?

Just like old times.

Pretty wild that we have to take a quiz on the company strategy. The same strategy that took 4 hours to even explain. Does he really think we are that stupid? 😆

LOL. CR, greed, 🐷s

What a great day to watch this stock tank almost 10%. I hope it drops 50% by calendar YE

Are people freaking out or has the excuse making and delusion started? I feel bad for the poor souls who are still there...

No other way out of this CR but LR the middle class

What happened?

fun times!

They've known about it for a while. And they still set up layoffs. We're living at an age where record earnings don't provide any job security for employees. How messed up is that?
