Can someone explain how these layoffs actually get determined? I feel like it’s just purely cost, but based on how pointless and anti productive it has ended up being I’m not sure if they actually give it any thought. Manager has been giving us the... — read more 

Massive changes for Portfolio SEs coming. Essentially generalists won’t exist any more.

Someone on my team is on a family medical leave and a fellow coworker said that they could still be affected in the layoffs. Can someone confirm please?

Any update?

The next round won't happen at least for a few months, right?

Two talented people are gone from the team, but the clueless, passive-aggressive manager survived. Lucky us.

RTP is closing?28

pls protest against layoff during this bad Ai/ML situation. pls quit voluntarily if u r able to find opporunity outside and express solidarity with everyone who got impacted

Can this be true?

Strong rumors about a nutanix aquisition.

I heard that the Cisco Wireless team was also affected due to low revenue in last layoff. Do you have any idea about the current situation with Cisco Spaces, Meraki, and the DNAC team?

Can anyone elaborate on what happens with RSU's if you are currently getting package? I'm looking for specifics (in advance of next round) so I can plan accordingly. I'm assuming you just get the 60 days on payroll to vest but hoping they may... — read more 

Why is it always on the survivors to absorb everything from the people who got cut? If there's suddenly so much extra work, maybe those people shouldn't have been let go. But there's never any real planning afterward, just an expectation that we'll... — read more 

Hello are the rumors true that Cisco is considering purchasing NetApp?

So all this extra revenue profiteering off war these past few years, and yet still laying off your employees? Embarassing https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/cisco-systems-israel-genocide-gaza

It's always amusing seeing Fran suddenly go quiet on LinkedIn when layoffs are announced, laying low, before she can return to posting about how people driven her company is

Friends Ignoring and ghosting to those impacted by layoff is a life long tradition and a feature in Cisco. First timers are in shock.

How did my HGO OD not get impacted. He does not live in the operation. He is out of touch. He states everyone that does not agree with him or do what he says should be fired. Maybe he is should be fired. It is his way or the highway. He does... — read more 

I was laid off in 2024 after 18 years at Cisco. It was a weird time leaving because people just stopped talking to me. It was as if I was gone in a snap. People I thought I knew and worked with everyday, people I considered a friend went radio... — read more 

Made it through this round, but it doesn't feel like winning. This job is just about being afraid to lose it now. Nothing else drives me anymore.

This site is a potential gold mine for management, assuming they genuinely care about understanding what employees are thinking. Reading this board gives a pretty clear view of what is happening inside the organization, though I could be... — read more 

It's been interesting seeing where these newly hired people are located.

Honestly, it makes me furious. It’s embarrassing and even disgusting to know I work at the same company as these people, even if we’re not in the same department. During such a tough time, when so many teams and colleagues are heartbroken while... — read more 

I am hearing mostly about CX and BU, no sales this time?

Cisco doesn’t care about you, why should you care about Cisco? Why work hard to make projects successful.

One of richest American now, but CR is not satisfied, his goal is 1 Trillion, so next 5 LR are planning now.

Everyone's acting like nothing happened like usual, curious how many of us got axed.

But then, they'll just make up for it on our backs anyway. No silver lining when you're dealing with greedy ba----ds.

I see that the board is divided, some are all doom and gloom, some are more like 'business as usual'. i'd be curious to see what do you all think about our position a few years from now.

Anyone at thousandeyes impacted by layoffs?

Survived this round. There will be more rounds. Assuming that I have about 7 years of experience, late 30s, mid 200K total comp, wife is not working, have a toddler. No debt/mortgage (renting in So Bay). Working in sales. Is there a rule of thumb... — read more 

Hey Guys! Anyone from Asset Management department in US affected by the layoffs? Really hope that the impact there is minimal or hopefully non existent.

I was LR‘ed early 2024.. and today I am happy it happened then and not now. Cisco does, like most US companies, not care about employees and are unable to do a proper AOP planning - at cost of the lives of tousands of mother and fathers who have to... — read more 

No other way to really explain it.

I saw the news about cuts today and it got me wondering. Back in 2022 when Cisco let me go, they gave 60 days in lieu pay, another 60 days severance, PTO cashed out, and four months of COBRA. Does anyone know if the packages are still similar now or... — read more 

It might happen... but people are jumping from accounting math to headcount certainty. They said fewer than 4,000 jobs in Q4. They also said notifications start 5-14 and continue globally based on local laws and regulations. OK, makes sense - it... — read more
