Same source as the one who had predicted LRs in August and then in November says VP and SED in UKI have requested names for Jan-Feb timeline. Target is sales .

What's weird is that they are forcing good employees to be on pip performance improvement plan!
This way they are covered legally and pay less Severance. Ofcourse while ruining the employee reputation
@bmxv+1q12jl7f any idea on how big a layoff? 5%, 10%…
I suspected this for while as our SSED has been shiftier than usual lately. Normally he’d be raving and ranting at least a month before Christmas making our UKI market sound like his uncle’s business. But not that much this year.
Oh and it's everywhere not just sales.
Employee relations confirming this.
I am employee relations at Cisco and contributing to help others here.
Yes massive layoff in January February is confirmed by EVPs.
Employees are/will be asked to resign or to go on a PIP.
You can't actually refuse a pip so once it's there you are considered fired eventually regardless of what you do and will never be hired again by Cisco.
It's unethical and you should sue the company asap.
@5uma+1q12jl7f GES is the enterprise segment in sales
@4fnp+1q12jl7f What’s GES? I am working for Cisco for over 2 years now and still get lost in the sea of acronyms! Some acronyms appear to be used more in the U.S. than here across the pond.
Agree that something is coming. The official mouthpieces in the form of excel-sheet clicking SEMs and SEDs have gone dangerously quiet lately.
Was told Sales to be hit very hard with GES being heavily impacted.
If it’s going to be Jan/Feb, then the names would be already done.
Something is definitely coming, the expense controls and opex cutbacks I’m seeing are unprecedented. It’s clear that an LR isn’t far away.
Rolling layoffs totaling 20,000 beginning end of January to get ready for Splunk employees

Once more and this time in English please
If customers no want the. Why so many billions?
Products no one wants.
Just in time for the holidays.

Thanks Santa!
Happy LR Rudolf!
telling lies again
not just sales, but TAC
good time to chop fats, even after unloading fats, slogans and noises from CR are here for temporary, won't able to sustain Cisco to survive.
if you have products customers don't want, no matter how you are selling them, they won't get sold, this is true to most of the Cisco product lines. I seen customers buying products from different vendors like these vendors are selling cake. Please do not blame on sales, blame on ELT, Engineering, product management, project management. Fire multilayer PPT processors in between.
We heard not only sales
