    Do you honestly care about the month to month hirings and firings of Cisco? These companies are giants and restructure regularly. If Cisco comp their workers properly which they did then IDGAF.

      If you can’t see how layoffs are used to suppress worker rights and keep pay as low as possible then I’m sorry but you are a total fool.

        This is economics mixed with some rage bait. None of this is a workers rights issue. This is just standard business in America they enjoy the benefits and consequences that come along. These are very highly mobile workers who were well paid and well compensated. These workers got better exit packages than every country with “strong workers rights”. There is absolutely zero reason to pretend to care about this. Should cisco should just constantly expand its workforce infinitely, should they have published a detailed reason for letting every person go.

        You’d expect this to be like oh 4000 people were laid off because cisco predicts a downturn in the economy but they’re just restructuring and no longer require those people. They will hire more back for the new path.
