Cisco has also slowed their R&D facility. It was planned for 7 buildings,
now its down to 5 and maybe less.
Cisco dropped all contractors/consultants too.
It has kinda slowed and is not dropping so fast anymore. Just trickeling
through the big guys and aftershocks(yeah and there will be more but not
as bad).
Actually I am good to see most of the fat get trimmed at my company and
companies I work for... It was almost needed.
