US tech companies Cisco and Oracle are set to eliminate hundreds of jobs in the San Francisco Bay Area, according to a San Francisco Chronicle report based on recent state filings.
Cisco Systems is set to implement a second wave of layoffs this year, with thousands of employees expected to be affected, according to sources familiar with the situation. The US networking giant, headquartered in San Jose, California, is making these cuts as part of its strategic shift towards higher-growth sectors, including cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI).
Bangladeshi-American engineer Shah Talukder had definite reasons to feel proud when his daughter launched a language coaching programme for poor students back in his motherland four years ago. And he had reasons to be frustrated too when Leilah, in the US, had trouble communicating with her students in Bangladesh due to hartals, weather, or traffic jams.
