The cuts consist of 157 layoffs at a site in Milpitas and another 64 in San Francisco, WARN notices show.
San Jose-based Cisco stated the layoffs were scheduled to take effect on Oct. 13, according to the WARN letters. They were all described as permanent.
“None of the affected employees are represented by a union, nor do any have bumping rights applicable to the positions in question,” a Cisco executive stated in the WARN letter.
