Cisco to lay off 6500 in latest reorg move

Cisco to lay off 6500 Employees

Cisco Systems has been trying to hone its focus for months now with a large-scale corporate reorganization. And judging by the latest news out of the network equipment giant, Cisco is not out of the woods quite yet.

On Monday, Cisco announced plans to lay off a total of 6500 employees worldwide, or about nine percent of its full-time staff. About a third of those people know that their days are numbered: 2100 of the reductions are employees who “elected to participate in a voluntary early retirement program,” Cisco wrote in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission detailing the plans. But the next couple weeks should be fairly tense for the remainder of Cisco’s employees, since the rest of the impacted staff aren’t scheduled to receive their walking papers until the first week of August.

As is often the case with big layoffs, Cisco will have to spend money upfront to make more money later. The layoffs are expected to cost the company $1.3 billion in severance and other termination-related charges.

The cuts are just the latest in a series of recent moves Cisco has made to get back in its investors’ good graces. In April, CEO John Chambers admitted publicly that Cisco’s recent forays into consumer products, video and social software had led the company to lose focus, and vowed to make the necessary moves to regain an edge in its core networking business. Soon after, the company posted lackluster financial results that brought on a proper hammering in the stock market.

In May, Cisco outlined plans to embark on an official corporate restructuring program, and thus far the company has been unsparing in its cuts, which have included the closure of its Flip video gadget subsidiary as well as the shuttering of its Eos social publishing platform.

The silver lining for the impacted Cisco employees is that much of the tech industry is on ahiring spree, especially for engineering roles. But at the moment, whether the latest cuts will be enough to get Cisco back on its A-game is anyone’s guess.

All private Google Profiles to be deleted on 1 August

Google Profiles to be deleted on 1 August

   Google has decided to delete all Google Profiles that are set to private on 1 August.

   The search giant describes Google Profiles, which are used as your Google+ profiles too, should be public, as 'what the world sees when it searches for you' – so it stands to reason that they be public.

   The move comes in preparation for the Google+ public roll-out, and will make each profile easily findable via the search engine.

   However, the only elements of your profile that have to be made public are your name and your gender (yeah, we're not sure why either), everything else can be kept private.

Google me

   Google explains: 'The purpose of Google Profiles is to enable you to manage your online identity. Today, nearly all Google Profiles are public. We believe that using Google Profiles to help people find and connect with you online is how the product is best used. Private profiles don't allow this, so we have decided to require all profiles to be public.

   'Keep in mind that your full name and gender are the only required information that will be displayed on your profile; you'll be able to edit or remove any other information that you don't want to share.

   'If you currently have a private profile but you do not wish to make your profile public, you can delete your profile. Or, you can simply do nothing. All private profiles will be deleted after July 31, 2011.'
