Re:Cisco to lay off about 14,000 employees
on Wednesday August 17, 2016 @04:15AM (#12303144)
I heard from a colleague that John Chambers walked into one of the Cisco buildings and found that it was mostly empty due to people taking advantage of Cisco's lax policy on working from home. The buildings are now planning to get sold because they no longer need them. Either these employees that were assigned to work in those buildings are gonna get laid off with this 14K figure, or they're gonna be working from home.
I have also found that people get a lot less work done if they're working from home.
