近年科技巨头裁员计划盘点

思科（Cisco）

裁员日期：2011年7月

裁员人数：6500人

裁员前总员工人数：71,825人

目前总员工人数：约60,000人

股价：上涨10%

    思科CEO约翰•钱伯斯的观点是：下猛药方能见成效。

    2011年7月，约翰•钱伯斯宣布公司史上最大规模裁员。被裁掉的员工人数约为6500人，占员工总人数的9%。

    公司最近的财季报告显示，裁员约一年之后，思科公司的营收便上涨了约7%。当然，这并非全都归功于裁员——钱伯斯还撤销了耗资甚巨的非主营业务，如公司的摄录像机业务，并让公司重心回归到计算机网络设备这一主要盈利业务。

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.
