Sorry. We at Cisco have come to realize that we make most of our money by putting Cisco stickers on other manufacturers equipment. It turns out we only really need three guys to put the stickers on. We do apologize to you and your families for any inconvenience.
P.S. Remember, Cisco is taking these painful steps because we are all about People ... uh... well... except you of course.

Laughing at people's lives when they are down.
Your sympathy for the people making millions a year to screw up the company is duly noted, although calling people "down" who are so rich they never have to work again is a bit dramatic.
We will all be laughing.
You'll be on your own, sad, pathetic and clueless. Find a fifth grader to read and explain the original post to you as you clearly missed every point. The jokes in the replies are about issues over which the rank and file have no influence so they clearly aren't the target.
LR the is the norm all of you have been conditioned to work extra hours for free and when you least expect it you get that 1:1
Stop wasting people's time and post these ridiculous content. Laughing at people's lives when they are down. Can't wait until karma comes back to you and your family 100X when you needed help the most. Your time will come and will be at the best time. We will all be laughing.

'UCS will be spun in to a different company' ?? really

Diversions from the truth are tactics used for centuries. The truth Cisco has become a We Do Not Owe You Anything company and Cisco will do anything to keep the wallets fat of those on the top even if it means laying off good people that devoted their lives to make the company billions. ELT make theses "hard" decisions quarterly and don't blink to tell the people how these restructures are to make the company great again then jet off in their 350K cars. Keep kissing their a-- es while they keep chopping heads like taking candy from a baby. Whether it's 20K or 20 people it does not make a difference people are getting axed and WE conform with these "CHANGES" while they sip martinis in their 20 million dollar homes and most of you are barely getting by.
