This round is over, but we know already another is happening in a few months. So the worrying, stressing, anxiety...all of it will continue until then. And then after that until the next round, and so on and on... It never stops.
This is not a healthy work environment, and I can't be the only one who feels this way.
Top talent is gone because of their voice speaking out to make if right
I had decided to leave Cisco a couple months ago due to toxic direct managers. And overall politics at Cisco. With the current LRs targeting good workers for political reasons and protecting mediocre people due to their connections I’m glad to be done with Cisco.
Don't worry, leadership will be along any minute now to remind you they are retaining top talent :)
Vote with your feet, people! Don’t sit around waiting for the next one.
Money controls my life.
I am impacted. I am not spending any of my time in self pity or sadness. If you are nervous about next layoffs, it is signal enough for you to start looking right now. I wish I acted on the signals I felt. I would not be here at all.
