Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Nowhere is safe

The sooner you realize leadership isn't really looking out for anyone except themselves, the happier you will be. Doesn't matter what company it is. People have had it for companies that don't look out for their workers. No where is safe. The sooner we all realize this the better. The government isn't here to look out for you. Companies aren't going to look out for you. Do the bare minimum to get by; if you have extra energy to burn and turn that into work product; all you are doing anyore is lining someone else's pocket. You cannot build a safe place here at this company, or any other. Look at it like survival in nature.

I lowered my expectations of the government, companies, and work after I was LR'd. I will still work but expect nothing more than the pay based on results. I don't expect loyalty.

Wise words from @gja+1l55l5nE.

I believe the utopian view of faang is finally over…

As a customer of all these companies and more that view died ages ago. If only that fictional purple guy could choose the right 50% to get rid of the rest would be much better off.

I will still work but expect nothing more than the pay based on results.

You have another false expectation to overcome.

Tech industry as a whole sucks, just Cisco is close to the bottom of pile and others are either marginally better or just the same.. I believe the utopian view of faang is finally over…

I know exactly what you're driving at. It also reminds me of quiet quitting. But then that means this is true of other companies.

Lol I'm not surprised you got downvoted OP. Comments like that don't fly with the virtue signaling marks around here.
