Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Mother of all layoffs will take place over a 3 month (May/June/July) period

Up to 32% of FTE and contractors will be cut over a 3 month period.. CSCO wants to slim down. All L2 mgrs and their directors have been instructed to provide an excel spreadsheet of individuals to be cut. Some teams will be completely obliterated.

If your mgr or dir stops saying hi to you, that's a tell tale sign that you are on the list. Some of the planning will take place offsite to avoid tipping off the "victims".

My manager does not look at me or say hi either...for about 6 years now.

Got decent bonuses each year so I figure that's just Cisco Style.

I heard today the LR could be up to 48% of Cisco.

See, I can post stuff too.

Seriously, where do you come up with 32% when the big wipeout in 2017 was 5%?

If you're going to spread rumors, it should at least be believable.

My mgr does not even look at me. He only send me 1-line emails. He avoids me at all cost. Well, my resume is ready, just waiting for the pkg.

It's been a long time my manager does not say hi... I guess my name was in the spreadsheet long time ago?
