Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Everyone needs to look for a new position ASAP

Anyone that thinks they are safe is not thinking straight. Doesn't matter what your age is, grade level, position, BU, race, gender... whatever... you are not safe. Get out before the market is inundated in a month.

Already updated my ethnicity in HRMS to reflect it correctly. Probably will help come LR time.

CX services and security is pretty safe. if you are eliminated from one of those BUs, its prob more of a personal performance issue.

OP sounds scared, but is correct. All tech companies that are in the quarterly layoff cycle is a company with no vision and leadership. The LRs are going to be bigger than people expect and the payouts less.

OP is trying to scare people off so they quit. That way he will be "safe from LR" at cisco.
