Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Any actual layoff news?

Not something that already happened, but anything on what's coming?

AI bubble is getting harder and harder to justify, even if the products are popular.

Coding assistants are the only slam-dunk AI product so far. Everything else is just casual chat that no one will pay a premium for. Industry has loaded up debt for demand that isn't materializing.

Look at Oracle stock for a preview of what happens when the market changes its mind on a company's commitment to massive AI investment.

When (not if) this bursts, layoffs will increase dramatically. Probably enough $$$ in the pipe for next earnings season to be okay, after that we will see plateaus and it will be the .com burst all over again but with bigger numbers

Hi Clueless OP, you won't know until you know.

Everyone is going to feel the pain in their budget until the CFO stops trying to "grow bottom line faster than the top line"

Massive restructuring with LFG
Most specialists will be generalists
Not an LR as such but making people do things they don't want to do so they leave of their own accord
Quite smart really
