Cisco Reportedly Cuts Jobs in Canada Despite Q4 Earnings Beat

What’s Happening at Cisco?

The company has not formally announced these layoffs — but Samfiru Tumarkin LLP has already been contacted by numerous impacted employees looking for legal advice on their termination and severance pay.

If you’re a non-unionized Canadian employee at Cisco, this development affects your job, severance pay, and future career path.

Cisco’s Growth on Paper, Cuts Behind the Scenes

On August 13, 2025, Cisco released its fiscal Q4 results, reporting:

• Revenue: $14.7 billion (up 8% YoY)
• Non-GAAP Net Income: $4 billion
• EPS: $0.99 (above forecast of $0.98)
• Full-Year Revenue: $56.7 billion (up 5%)

The company credited much of its growth to surging demand for AI infrastructure and network upgrades, with over 20 new products launched.

Still, even with this performance, many Cisco employees globally are being shown the door — sparking concerns about internal restructuring, cost-cutting, or shifting operational strategies.
