Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Cisco's winter shutdown is December 25th through January 7th

Just FYI to all ex-Cisco employees who frequent this site.
LR list for Jan/Feb is almost complete. It will be a bloodbath. I wont be checking emails for 2 weeks, in fact, I powered down my Cisco laptop and put it in the attic so I don't accidently turn it on to check emails.

So let me get this straight - 12 pto days are mandated per year? How many do you get in the US? 15?

... I wont be checking emails for 2 weeks, in fact, I powered down my Cisco laptop and put it in the attic so I don't accidently turn it on to check emails.

So, what you're saying is that you have absolutely no self-control that you can't simply turn off a laptop and leave it off, that putting it in your backpack whatever you carry your laptop around in is insufficient, and that you have to "put it in the attic so (you) don't accidently (sic) turn it on ...

Sad.

"Cleaning house to make room for the Splunkers"
Right, another group of one capability resources. They will clean those out too or prior to coming on. There's some other software folks you little splunkers will need to compete for your jobs with too so I wouldn't be beating my chest yet. AI is excellent for coding, and where a body is needed they are a dime a dozen. Best hope you have better skills than what the interns, EICs, and AI have.
