10/18/2001 Entry: "Three weeks to go..."

I have three weeks to go before my one year aniversary at Cisco. I wonder if I'll make it:

MIXED SIGNALS. Cisco could lay off up to 5,000 employees in the next two months, says Gina Sockolow, an analyst at Buckingham Research Group. That's in addition to the 8,500 workers who got pink slips earlier in the year. The company might also ax some of its less profitable optical and fixed-wireless broadband products, analysts say. Cisco declined to comment about the possibility of a restructuring.

This would be the coup de grace for a particularly nasty year.
