400 jobs gone at Cisco - CA employees hit again (June 2026)

So, the news dropped today - Cisco let go of 400 employees. The reports mention California as the primary location. This feels like a significant chunk, and the timing is always the kicker, isn't it? There's talk in the news about how this follows some pretty strong financial reports. It's disheartening to see this happen. For those of us still here, it raises questions about our own job security and the direction of the company. Was this a planned reduction, or something more reactive? Hard to get the full picture from the headlines. If you're in California and were impacted or heard anything specific from your management, I'd be interested to hear what the official or unofficial word is. Trying to gauge the impact and understand the reasoning behind these decisions. It's a rough day for those affected, and a worrying one for the rest of us.
