I got done over this way, new people coming in, cheaper, younger, then older more expensive moved out. Grade or two lower means it’s not like for like.
No it’s a FIFO - shift old workers out, shift new workers in.
No, not at all. What Cisco does is put feelers out for the workforce available in the area. They look at salary demand information and skill sets. If they match what you do and asking less, then you are expendable and replaceable. If you look at open Cisco jobs, it won't be for "your" area, but it is still to gather workforce supply information. When someone that can do 80% of your work for 60% of the pay, you have no value to the company.
Many postings are fake just to collect resumes "just in case" they're needed. Others have said that it's to gauge the salary expectations of potential candidates to see if it's worth letting more expensive employees go and replacing them with cheaper workers.
job hiring at Cisco is so bogus.
Before a req is posted, teams already have a candidate in mind.
If offered to an external candidate, they had to justified with up to 5 candidates interviewed.
and internal just 3....
Team here is shuffling in new folks from other teams. We’re told to hand off work and train them. When I joined it was sink or swim with vague instructions.
I worked at one group hire and fire at the same time, hire new people, fire older people saying job eliminated, , crazy as it is and somehow true.. as long as the new people are hired in different role, you can not fight it.
Nope. Especially if it's for different jobs. Sorry.
