思科（Cisco）

裁員日期：2011年7月

裁員人數：6500人

裁員前總員工人數：71,825人

目前總員工人數：約60,000人

股價：上漲10%

????思科CEO約翰?錢伯斯的觀點是：下猛藥方能見成效。

????2011年7月，約翰?錢伯斯宣布公司史上最大規模裁員。被裁掉的員工人數約為6500人，占員工總人數的9%。

????公司最近的財季報告顯示，裁員約一年之后，思科公司的營收便上漲了約7%。當然，這并非全都歸功于裁員——錢伯斯還撤銷了耗資甚巨的非主營業務，如公司的攝錄像機業務，并讓公司重心回歸到計算機網絡設備這一主要盈利業務。

Cisco

Dates: July 2011

Layoffs: 6,500

Layoffs: 71,825

Headcount now: About 60,000

Stock change: Up 10%

????Cisco CEO John Chambers believes in cutting once and cutting deep.

????In July 2011, he announced the biggest downsizing in the company's history: About 6,500 workers, or 9% of Cisco's staff, were handed pink slips.

????Almost a year after the layoffs, Cisco's revenue has climbed about 7%, according to its most recent quarterly report. But this wasn't just a result of the staff reduction -- Chambers also cut expensive distractions like the company's camcorder business and refocused the company on its main moneymaker, computer networking equipment.
