Cisco is cutting nearly 4,000 jobs, or about 5% of its workforce, despite reporting better-than-expected profit and revenue in its fiscal third quarter. The networking equipment maker said it is reducing headcount to change its cost structure and invest more in AI and cybersecurity. This follows a trend of tech companies prioritizing AI spending while laying off employees. Cisco plans to increase investment in cybersecurity after facing security vulnerabilities and a data breach. CEO Chuck Robbins highlighted record revenue and double-digit growth, while noting strategic investments in AI.

Walmart has eliminated 1,000 roles as part of a simplification of its operating structure, according to a source familiar with the matter. The retailer, under new CEO John Furner and a reshaped leadership team, is focusing on a tech-driven strategy to attract higher-income shoppers and expand its marketplace and delivery businesses. In a memo to employees, Walmart's head of global technology Suresh Kumar and head of global AI acceleration Daniel Danker stated that changes were made to simplify work organization, clarify ownership, and align roles with future needs. Over the past year, Walmart has shifted from separate organizational structures for Walmart U.S., Sam's Club, and international markets to a unified, shared platform. The company, which reached $1 trillion in market value in February, is accelerating its digital transformation to compete with Amazon, Costco, and Aldi. Many affected employees have been asked to relocate to Walmart's Bentonville or Northern California offices. Walmart employs approximately 2.1 million people worldwide, with 1.6 million in the U.S., where 92% are hourly workers. The company will report quarterly results on May 21.
