In all honesty, even if I'm affected I'll be glad this whole mess is over. Knowing and being able to move on beats having to stress over not knowing day in, day out. I know some people like the fact they were given time to prepare, but I'm not one of them. I believe in ripping the band-aid off and moving on. As simple as that.

Been there, done that 100 times. We keep saying this to ourselves.
Yeah, I worked for Cisco previously and literally every 6 months was another mass layoff. I couldnt work there again. I would almost rather be completely blindsided by a layoff than the "pre-warning death march" Cisco seems to do. We were told months before a layoff was going to happen, and it just brought the moral of the entire team down for months. Then half of us got let go
ongoing fear
games
consequences
contradictions
lack of EQ
I don't expect to be LR'd, but after this mess
I no longer desire to work for Cisco with our current CEO'd behavior and have decided to spend full time looking for a job outside Cisco
