Ignore the BS. Restructuring is underway. AI is king. Underperforming BUs will make up the majority of Layoffs. If you are in a BU that doesn’t directly generate Revenue, you will be hit extremely hard

This is my warning to everybody. Through insider information, there will be layoffs in February. Possibly hardest hit will be collab. Managers will be made aware right around Christmas time, everybody else notified weeks after the new year.

Each engineering department or BU has eighteen different layers of tooling, and within the BU there's another layer of tooling. There's 25 layers of instructions that only someone from their respective department would know God forbid you need to... — read more 

Anybody hearing anything about layoffs? We know we had a few hundred cuts to the product teams in August, but February is a weird time too.

Enjoy your last days working from home Just announced on Q2 call

Because stupid people believe anything. Chucky and g2, d-mb and d-mber.

Apparently, many Underperforming BUs facing stealth layoffs. Can others confirm it?

Our annual shutdown will take place from December 25, 2025, through January 2, 2026, with a Day for Me on December 26, 2025. This time away gives us a chance to recharge and focus on what matters most — you and your family. The shutdown also helps... — read more 

It feels as though the Splunk BU has drifted off-course, guided by a weak leadership style that inspires more confusion than confidence. In all-hands meetings, what should be moments of clarity and direction often dissolve into polished... — read more

Cisco should have dominated Collaboration. Back in 2004 they bought Dynamicsoft, which had the best VoIP engineers in the world, bar none. So where did all of that go? Only very poor leadership could waste an advantage like that. Cisco could have... — read more 

Everything is AI AI AI What happened to basic things like Networking?

Yo, the whole trusted gang is low-key grindin’ on exit plans outta Cisco. Secret TOIs poppin’ off in back rooms, and some folks gettin’ straight ghosted from the AI knowledge drops. With all this shady energy, fr fr, how’s Cisco even supposed to... — read more 

Ever since the last round of cuts, my plate has doubled with no support in sight. I barely get a moment to breathe before something else lands on my desk. Breaks are more of a hope than a reality these days. I am counting down the time until I can... — read more 

Underperforming BUs are getting a massive reorg first week in December

Why so many QA rules in TAC team? They just focus on case update timely or not. They don’t even have any technical knowledge! Even layoff BB QA and they can re-join TAC team as RB then keep audit TAC cases… So rediculous

Be frank? I got 7% once.

G10 Raise: 0% RSU: 0$

Big disconnect between Cisco's public statements to the financial community—that the company is "rightsizing efficiently" to optimize performance and the observed outcomes of the LR process. HR is non-existent - they don't care about preservation of... — read more 

No announced LR, but it seems like there are personnel that are getting cut across different groups and divisions this month. Does anyone one else notice the headcount reductions? If so, what groups, divisions, etc. are getting targeted?

Reverse integration as acquired leadership took over the mothership. But how is this going?

Came in as a G12 employee through a Cisco acquisition. The first year was simply aligning the base pay and bonus to match Cisco. The second year, got full 18% bonus, $45K RSU but no base pay increase. How is Cisco with G12 comp? Are there annual... — read more 

AI is a bubble. Will Cisco ride that wave to 100? Thoughts?

G2 is accountable for this security fiasco . Is he really good for the company or just a great PR machine ?

Rotten from the top Needs a change

If everyone of us is a seller where is the commissions agreement??? Where are our perks and trips to Vegas ?

Congrats FK for letting us have the fortune to have you here for 30 years!!!

Did it work for Initech?

Anyone been around these leaders or has seen the team dynamics and morals? Everyone of leaders must go, they are that bad and toxic. Shrunk the business and unable to maintain margins.

More contractors to be cut in San Jose soon.

Does any of you perceive AI as bubble like SDN or is it going to stay for ever. I am not sure if cognitive alogrithms break AI patterns create more confusion for the future to adapt. If not, AI is not real AI.
