Genuine question: I joined within the last year and recently interacted with a DE, but honestly didn’t understand much of what they were saying. Do DEs typically write code and have a good understanding of the systems they work with?

What does this mean for our jobs and our existing customers? Will the new Fuji BI group try to consolidate with us again to keep thier base and or will we compete and just replace their boxes with Lexmark?

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 mantra nowadays. Lawyers are not better than engineers, but here at Cisco they can thrive just because that's the game nowadays.

I know we dont have many folks from the stores on this forum, but wanted to share this as well. These folks are working as hard as us and they are often impacted by cuts more than we are. Anyhow, I am sorry they have to go thru this and hope all laid off folks find better jobs soon.

Rumors of changes to job titles at Corporate on 11/1. No other details other than pay will not be reduced. Anybody else hear?

Why can’t everyone just mind their business? There’s so much drama because everyone hates people more successful than them. If you put that much energy into doing your job you’d be happier I promise.

Has anyone received their release notice? My separation date is September 4th but wondering if there is verbiage about not starting a new job for a certain time frame...curious what is in this release...

This job isn't perfect. But millions are worse off, with no job, no health insurance, and no way to feed their kids. Be grateful for what you have.

Everyone is so concerned about layoffs but yet we have hidden job listings for h1bs

I am one of the 400 remote workers who has been ordered to RTO. I'm looking for work and applied for a fully remote contractor position. To my surprise, they told me the client is O'Reilly.

Was given a choice to voluntarily resign or rebadge to HCL. If I resign, i'll lose all my stock rewards, bonuses and potential severance. Also I can't file for unemployment. What a freaking joke. HCL is going to outsource my job anyway. Sc--wed either way by big red.

I’m showing up to work at state street 3 sheets to the wind tommorow. I can’t take it anymore. There is no law when your on the claw

Shouldn't those be removed if we're that desperate that we need to lose thousands more to layoffs?

Has anyone noticed that the job board seems to be down and there aren’t any open positions showing? Just curious if it’s a maint/system updated or if there is another reason. Maybe just a fluke

Nothing makes me feel better than seeing job postings for roles in head office that are in Edmonton. So many people have said no to relocation they have no choice but to go external.

I see lots of jobs open so why are they not trying to move people who are on the RIF list to these spots? Yes, some require specialized degrees, such as nurses, but many of them don't. In 90% of these jobs, people can be trained to do them. Why would they let experience walk out the door? People who've been here for years could easily transition. Is it because they're going to bring in new folks at lower pay? Make it make sense.

Looks like there are about 88k employees at Fidelity and only about 800 job openings. According to AI stats available online, a company that has over 80k employees should have between 1,600 to 4,000 open positions at any given time. This represents roughly 2% to 5% of the total workforce. Does anyone know why the number is so low for Fidelity? Is this typical in the financial services industry? Just curious!
