Re: Do the Looming Cisco Lay Offs Affect You?

Good luck CCIE Kid! I hope you make it through the difficult times.

If I were you though, at this point in time, I think its been all decided
and the number have been worked out pretty much everywhere - I would just
take it easy and see what life has for all of us!

Your management would have known how valuable you/your_project are/is to the
company long before now, which says to me that things arent so much within
your control anyway.

You'll be fine with a CCIE in Security anywhere.
