Do you think that UCS can survive this situation? . https://www.crn.com/news/networking/2026/cisco-revises-partner-contract-terms-in-response-to-soaring-memory-prices

I came from the Splunk side, where company bonuses were often. With the most recent earnings call and stock dip, what is the likelihood we receive?

The stock is down 6.5% over the past six months. Under the employee stock purchase program, shares are acquired at the end of each six-month period. At that time, a charge appears. Is that charge simply the cost of the shares purchased, or does it... — read more 

Rumor during Cisco Live was a big wave of good talent voluntarily departing from DC marketing. Not sure what's happening there?

SBG is getting hit. Good luck everyone

Layoffs in SBG have started

Already started

Where's the bottom. All was fine yesterday, but today begs to differ. What a bunch of clowns at the helm.

Cisco stopped calling out LRs but these are happening. Splunk, security and CX are targets with negative growth, and AI doing more of their work. Please comment as you know these actions this week.

All rumors were fake. Cisco is growing 10% YoY and stock price is better than its peers. Just see no reason for layoffs or site closings. Would not be surprised if nothing happens in August either.

That is good news for SBG and Collab!

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cisco-ceo-explains-why-thinks-094401737.html I mean it sounds good at Chucks level. Has he actually seen the layers upon layers of pointless management?

Naming the new Webex devices after himself, G2, is next level trolling. Congrats

I received an offer today, and I’m planning to meet with my manager tomorrow to give notice. I’m wondering whether a full two weeks is necessary. I want to leave professionally and on good terms, but I’m also ready to move on.

Any news what can happen and when

Cisco’s P/E ratio is 33+ - higher than Google, Amazon, Meta and Netflix. That’s crazy- Wall Street is valuing Cisco higher than all these other companies! If I have one regret about not being in Cisco it’s this: stock was dead for many years and... — read more 

Tough times are ahead because of H1Bs + AI + work going offshore. So, sell your home(s), and stock(s) (if they are in profit) and keep cash to survive the tough time.

I calculate my savings every single week just to see if I can afford to quit. The daily stress and negativity have long stopped being worth the salary. It's gotten so bad that I've been considering some very risky financial choices just for my peace... — read more 

We have no control over leadership decisions but we do have control over keeping our skills up-to-date because as history has shown rapid decisions, knee-je-k decisions, and lack of understanding creates constant change. Maybe this video might help... — read more 

Again.

After all the talk of AI, re-orgs, non performant BUs the time for talking will end next week. Hearing Collab is heading for a 20% haircut which is long overdue. Will be targeted mostly at high cost locations.

Transition to AI or get purged, was this the Fran message….

Any specific date?

I just finished my background check and got my start date next week… chances coming on and get laid off?

Writing on the wall for GVS and mid market reps RIP

I have not received one. I am just curious. I know they read from a script and they don't deviate, do they bother to say at the end "Any questions?" I'm assuming not, and if not do they give you an opportunity to say anything before they end the... — read more
