r/technology on Reddit: Cisco announces mass layoffs just after soaring revenue report
August 21, 2025 - Maybe I'm reading the article incorrectly, but it seems this is an announcement about terminating 221 employees. While it is certainly bad news for those people on an individual level, I wouldn't call this a "mass layoff".

Cisco layoffs thoughts?? : r/Cisco
October 7, 2022 - I’m just curious whether the severance is dependent on which country you’re based in as well, because I know that there are certain laws in different countries on layoffs. ... And I just signed an offer for a new job at another company a couple weeks ago and I start Monday! I’m incredibly excited about this new company and the 5 months off (with a paycheck or severance for most of it) worked out perfectly for me. I didn’t have to touch my severance payment. All of that to say, there is life after a Cisco LR and it can be pretty bright.

Just got layoff by Cisco, my manager doesn’t know which HR is going to take care of my case, and doesn’t know what the package is. Is it true? It’s funny that another team member is survived even he can’t speak proper English….just because he likes to kiss the mgr’s ass lol. Somehow I understand as mgr always likes to have someone that they can control regardless of the performance.

Inefficient managers and reduced meritocracy are killing all companies right now. Also killing the good employees who want to do their best work and cut any bullshit and politics. It's time to bring back open hiring , no referral bullshit hiring.

Cisco started going downhill the day the 6500 series was EOLd. Code is buggy, nobody calls Cisco "bulletproof" anymore Costs are astronomical Licensing needs AI to interpret Loss of market share in DC and SP to Arista, Juniper, Nokia, etc Whitebox and commodity ecosystems surged in 2020. They are mature and operationally tested Starting the move away from standards-based networking fundamentals in certs in favor of product knowledge. It's been a long time coming.

Same shit different day- I feel bad for their employees, working their ass off, the stock price goes up and they want to keep their investors happy. Bay Area's Cisco reveals $10.3B yearly profit, thousands of layoffs (sfgate.com) Meanwhile, in order to keep said profits, Cisco support and engineering continues to tank in talent.

I have friends there, they don't even know who is being laid off yet for the most part. But yeah 12% in a year equates to an epic fail by the executives. The worst part is that those who made the decisions that got them into the mess, won't have any penalty, just make others suffer.

April 12, 2024 - I believe that the heart of the matter, without a bunch of words, is that the trend, and subsequent preemptive layoffs, is entirely avoidable if the company were to feed itself (employee betterment, R&D, infrastructure, etc) instead of only the shareholders. Cisco has spent $60,120,000,000.00 in stock buybacks over the last 26 quarters.

Just got laid from Cisco. I had no idea I would be impacted it was completely silent. Just got into call with manager, had to hear a script from the manager. Asked to sent out a email. I had whole bunch work planned out for next 3 quarters.

Cisco is an interesting company. They seem to be constantly going through a layoff cycle. Job listings continue to be posted while layoffs are happening. They really do come across as a non caring employer.

Cisco is so fucking disorganized. My uncle worked there for 20 years and got laid off last year. This year they were like: “Oh, we made a mistake, do you want to come back?” He couldn’t find another job at his age and was facing early retirement due to typical ageism in tech. So—of course—he went running back to Cisco. I hate to say it, but it’s probably only a matter of time before they lay him off again. Same thing happened to my friend at Meta. After 7 years they laid her off—and it destroyed her spirit. A year later they were like: “Oh, please come back to Meta.” Only to terminate her again when they did the last round of mass layoffs. Now her spirit and self-esteem is completely destroyed.

It was my turn to be terminated today from Cisco. We had a group call, and a manager read from a script. When they finished reading the message, the call ended. There were no questions. We were told to check our email for more data. I thought perhaps thanking us for our service would have been a nice thing to say.

This sort of behavior is exactly why a 2 week notice isn't necessary. Remember these companies.

Similar story for me in July (not Cisco). I get up in the morning to see an 8AM meeting on my calendar created by an "HR Business Partner" and with a hidden attendee list. I logged onto the call where me and 170 other people were told we were being fired by someone I've never met before reading a termination script. It was a one-way call. There was no option or ability to ask questions. Oh, and we were told that while we were not required to work that day, at some point during the day our accounts will be locked (expected). Five minutes later not only were my accounts locked but my laptop computer shut down and was disabled. I get it ... they're just protecting themselves, but this whole episode left me with such a "used and abused" feeling for someone who had seven years of positive service with the company. F**k that place.
