Cisco Cuts 5% Global Workforce

February 15, 2024
Reading Time: 2 mins read
in News

Technology giant Cisco revealed plans to downsize its global workforce by 5%, equivalent to thousands of employees, as part of a broader restructuring initiative aimed at pivoting towards key priority areas like artificial intelligence. This move mirrors similar actions taken by numerous other tech companies in recent months, highlighting industry-wide shifts and challenges.

Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins underscored the company’s commitment to aligning investments with future growth opportunities, particularly in AI, emphasizing innovation as central to navigating an increasingly interconnected ecosystem. The restructuring efforts come amidst a backdrop of declining revenue for Cisco, prompting a strategic focus on emerging technologies to remain competitive in the market.

Despite facing revenue declines, Cisco’s strategic realignment involves significant investments in AI, exemplified by its acquisition of machine learning and cybersecurity firm Splunk in a $28 billion deal. The company’s proactive approach aims to position itself as a leader in security and observability within the AI landscape, as it contends with evolving customer demands and market dynamics.

While Cisco’s workforce reduction is significant, it reflects broader trends within the tech industry, where companies like Google, Amazon, PayPal, and Duolingo have also announced layoffs despite continued investments in AI. This underscores the complex balancing act tech companies face as they navigate operational challenges while prioritizing innovation and adaptation to emerging technologies.
