Cisco Meraki Layoffs?
What are the chances of layoffs at Cisco Meraki in the next 6 months? TC 420k / 15 yrs #cisco
Which team is terrified of layoffs? HW, SW?
SW. don’t know HW folks.
Meraki is still growing double digits. I don't think it will slow down anytime soon.
Meraki is going the way of steel workers
From the cisco internal blind threads, it seems like SBG and Meraki seems the most safe options. But you never know
Can you also tell me about appd also please how safe it is
Appd is not safe. The execs are not happy with its performance and a bunch of people have been asked to participate in this internal transfer program. Unfortunately, not many people actually were successful in getting into a new role so now they’re laying people off. It’s been confirmed.
SBG ?
Security Business Group
Meraki SW will likely be fine. If that's the only thing holding you back, I wouldn't worry.
Thanks 🙏
https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2022/11/16/cisco-announces-600m-restructuring-layoffs.html are these layoffs outside of meraki and thousandeyes
Signs point to yes, but unless a VP or Director leaks actual guidance, we won't know for sure until 12/12.
AppD and Collab seemed to be the “eyes on” targets but that does not speak to 4K+ culling. There is a lot of middle layer fat and redundancy in the org that could use attention
And note this LR (timing and emp%) is a yearly lather, rinse, repeat for Cisco save for the rare anomaly
Do you work at Meraki?
Worked for a while. Thinking of boomeranging. But former colleagues seem terrified of layoffs.
