Do managers have their lists yet? Anyone gotten a meeting thrown on their calendar after earnings? Hearing conflicting info on whether it will be 11/13 or 11/17

My manager's manager put a 1:1 on my calendar for Friday 11/13 morning. Never met with them 1:1 before, so we'll see...
@fp lol! su---r...
just spoke with my leader, we are valued by our ELT and zero chance of being affected. Happy Holidays
VPs got an email yesterday (Weds. Nov. 11) about a 'Workforce Transition' mandate to attend training for same, as it "impacts one or more of your employees." I expect we'll hear more on today's Q1 Earnings call (then again, sometimes the company bypasses an official announcement to Wall Street by instead stating they've set aside X-amount of dollars for 'future restructuring.')
@ez many managers and directors confirmed they have to submit a list. And they didn’t know they are themselves impacted.
My reading is that there are no big layoffs this quarter. See you in February.
I heard it’s Friday
I don’t think I’d really care about getting laid off if my wife wasn’t pregnant. Never been so stressed before an earnings call, especially with all the other layoffs going on in the industry.
oh
the best thing cisco can do for my career at this point is LR me, i've been here on the sales team a long time, have had good success and am very marketable, and the whole 'LFG' reorg is a flaming disaster plus they got rid of most of the specialists and made them generalists, d-mb move, the need for specialists did not go away, but the actual specialists providing the expertise did. very d-mb. lot of ppl actually hoping they are on the list, get their package whatever it is and move on
If you get an out of band 1:1 it’s a sign. The forum was 100% correct in May. I received that out of band 1:1 the week prior to the earnings call and it was unusual as our cadence was bi-weekly and we had one the same week. All the best!
They always have the list. If you provoke them recently, you get to move up to the top of the list.
My 1:1 was moved up to 11/17 and set for 8a local time. SOOOO EXCITED!! Going to be totally disappointed if this isn't "the call"
@bn where is the post?
No layoffs per Mahesh. Read their post.
Normally it’s a quick scripted phone call and nothing on the calendars. Other groups are different I guess. If you get a call don’t get upset at the person, just know that once they take a leadership position they’re automatically Yes men and only do what they are told to survive. If your manager is 50+ or the director just know they are there to make as much as they can make for their retirement and your well being is no where near their radar. I hope everyone who reads this has a blessed day no matter what you believe in.
My manager put a reoccurring 1:1 on my calendar 11/17 afternoon. Trying not to read too much into it
I think it’s the 13th. Day after earnings. I have suspected I’m on it. Manager put a 1:1 on my calendar for Friday morning
relax and enjoy your day off. why raise your cortisol levels for something that's not going to happen? and if it does nothing you can do
