If you get a meeting for the 17th, you know why.

No layoffs. Someone called Paddy had a massive coding breakthrough over the weekend in SFO and all hands on deck now to validate the changes he made. The work will be done in Ireland apparently and they are hiring like crazy there. Galway is a beautiful city if you want to try and cross their border.
If you get laid off, don’t reach out to ex coworkers who you ghosted. Karma is a %itch and you don’t deserve to be rescued.
@h1
Cisco never pre notifies employees.
@g6 I was told the impacted employees will be notified on 11/10 before the Q1 report on 11/12.
11/11 is a holiday!
@fw you heard nothing about it because it's above your paygrade. everyone who needs to know (obviously besides those on the list) have already been notified.
@fw I explained this on another post, but doing them the day after earnings would put them on a Friday. Cisco has avoided doing Friday layoffs for several years and they aren't changing that now. It's also not gonna happen on a Monday. That gets you to Tuesday, 11/17 as the day.
Why not Friday? It's partly because doing them the day before the weekend is generally bad according to some, but also because people are off work for PTO, etc. on Friday more than any other day, so it makes notifications more difficult. Monday suffers some of the same notification difficulty as Friday, making it an undesirable day for notifications as well.
@fw trust me bro is why
The pattern is to start LR the day after earnings. Since earnings are 11/12 then why is it now 11/17 assuming there really is one which I have heard nothing about.
It isn't finished after Nov 17.
20% layoff affects approximately 16,480. This will continue on in waves unfortunately.
For the smaller offices, they are decreasing vast amounts of physical space meaning subleasing entire floors but have RTO in place.
The Nov 17 layoff will be as cruel as the Oct 8 and Sep 13 layoff. Plan accordingly.
If it is Nov 17th, then the invite should not go out this early. Doubt people will get 1-1 until after Nov 12th earnings
I told you it was gonna be 11/17. I even explained why, but no one believed me. Oh well.
Yes! I’m excited.
its just for a mental health checkin
Just got the invite..
only for cisco?
