Looks like the bonus letter for lower than 1 IPF employees are withheld till November 4, 2026. Is this a standard Cisco practice as it already happened in the past? Or is it something is in the plan for November 2026?

IPF means nothing. It is calculated AFTER manager figures how how much bonus they can spare (if they can) from the pool of money they received for the team. Gegnerally there is not enough to spread to everyone so some might not get a bonus. Sometimes bonus is used as a retention tactic to keep someone on the team. Stop chasing IPF. Chase visibility on the team. If you are the top most performer on the team, chances of you getting a bigger bonus increases.
@h8 “many”
You are funny
@g2 IPF means nothing you idi0t - Many had a >1.35 and were axed shortly after.
Your performance speaks for itself if your IPF is a 1. Pack up.
@bw no one said but IYKYK.
The letter had been available briefly with effective date set to 11/04/2026 in workday. Then it was removed the day the payment was made!
Who said they’re withheld?
Thats before earnings and likely before any LR. Maybe 11/4 is the deadline for LR names to be submitted?
