Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Laying off top performers

Layoffs on the 12th and so many top performers let go. I’ve seen at least four grade 11s let go—higher paid roles in marketing. Honestly shocked at some of the people.

There are top performers in every grade. Some of them got the boot, because the spreadsheet was showing they were paid more than their teammates. No consideration for performance, as usual.

Top performers going - just wait until the top performing sales people are laid off before they can get their commission checks to reduce future costs over multiyear contracts

Cisco could have axed the entire marketing department and I don't think anyone would have known.

^^^But who would do those vanity checkin videos for C and F?

The marketing I see especially on LinkedIn is pretty weird...

nonetheless it sucks for anyone impacted by these LRs. Hope you're doing OK.
