Another janitor here. We been told to not replenish toilet paper and the paper towels so frequently. Target is to save 20%. Tall order. Maybe you engineers and sales folks will have to bring in your toilet paper in 3 yrs if the trend continues.

As a longstanding and respected janitor I must be safe they just got me a new broom handle #newbroomsweepsclean
Nobody knows the answer. Nobody knows which BU’s or how many. Some people may know about their BU. Nothing more.
@1bdn+1qMjrBwQ, it's really hard to say how they prioritize new acquisition employees vs. Cisco employees.
It all depends on the terms of the buyout for Splunk. Given how "transparent", or lack there of, the ELT is, I doubt we'll ever know.
Usually, when one company buys out another one, the company being bought out makes the buying company agree to keep their employees for a period of time after the acquisition. In some cases, where only a part of a company is being bought, the selling company will also agree not to rehire any of the bought-out employees for the same or longer period.
For example, Texas Instruments sold its Defense Segment to Raytheon Systems Corp back in the '90's. RSC waited 12 months to announce it was closing the Lewisville, TX DSEG facility and move it all to Tucson, AZ and any engineer that didn't want to relocate was laid off. TI could not re-hire any of those engineers for 5 years after the sale, but they didn't tell the employees that so many of my friends in TX who didn't relocate to AZ kept trying to interview w/ TI again & again wondering why they weren't getting any further than the initial interview.
How do you think they prioritize new acquisition employees vs. Cisco employees? For example, would the Splunk sales team be a part of this, or would they cull FSO/AppD sales first? Can’t imagine laying off employees from new acquisitions would retain goodwill and value of the acquisition.
Security sounds like it’s a big part of this as well.
nobody is safe at Cisco including janitors. Cisco office footage been shrinking.
ex: samsung north san jose office building was part of cisco office building before.
Cisco currently at slow bleeding on the brain but refuse the accept the fact or in denial stage, there is no innovation except a big mouth-piece or PPT on every current hot trending technology.
How about janitors? are we safe?
Have lists been prepared or notifications gone out?
Any thoughts on Public Sector? Sales and CX? I wonder how hard PS will get hit.
Will TAC get hit hard?
Commercial and Overlay AM's and SE's will be cut in half and taken over by virtual teams
Will be 3 waves of LRs I heard. Sales engineering will be hit - SE's , SA's, TSA's, TME's plus PSS and overlay engineering roles. ELT clueless what these roles deliver and the value they bring keeping the company afloat by sorting out holes in busted and none existent processes. The $$ numbers cannot support so many engineering resources, they will say. SE leadership reduced tech roles to PPT, vaporware, nepotism and politics. Customers have noted and acting with their pocketbook. Cx and TAC will be hit afterwards.
NO need project managers and PMOs within CX.
What do you mean with CX? There are many roles within CX
