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.

My sad history with Cisco - post regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs
Most of the next 20 years I worked at Cisco as a contractor or as an employee. In the early 2000s I remember how excited I was about the prospect of working at an innovative, cutting-edge company in a relatively new and developing technology. Chambers was running the show at that time and I don't recall any concern about layoffs, as there was routinely at IBM and Nortel.
