alongside the company’s third-quarter FY26 earnings."},{"text":"\"The companies that will win in the AI era will be those with focus, urgency, and the discipline to continuously shift investment toward the areas where demand and long-term value creation are strongest,\" Robbins said in the memo."},{"text":"The company said most affected employees will begin receiving notifications from May 14, with the process being carried out globally in accordance with local laws and regulations."},{"text":"Moreover, the company added that impacted employees would receive pro-rated FY26 bonuses, severance support and access to the company’s placement services programme, which it said had helped nearly 75 per cent of participants secure new roles."},{"text":"The networking giant noted that employees affected by the restructuring would be given one year of access to Cisco U courses and certifications covering AI, cybersecurity, networking and related technologies."},{"text":"While reducing headcount in certain divisions, Cisco said it would continue making 'clear, strategic investments' in areas such as silicon, optics, security and the broader use of AI across its
