I was ask to come to san jose campus this week to finish scrum because our project is getting shut down. My team is nervous and hear rumour that chuck or kelly will announce all LR names over loud speaker to the campus on thursday before afternoon tea. Is this what happens?

absolutely... infact they would announce it in the upcoming niners vs broncos game.. and those laid off would be paraded naked just before the start of the game.
Boy, I was layed off earlier this year from another industry. I really appreciate the gallows humor here.
Now it's getting funny. These threads always go through the five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance which are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. Always remember that I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, Big Hoss. Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I've learned after 21 years - you never know what is gonna come through that door.
The SJ Campus will be transformed into an HD WiFi-enabled colosseum with Connected Stadium Experience and StadiumVision Mobile. All employees will have to download an app today - the one called Gladiator Vs San Francisco Lions. It will direct you to your designated seat, allow you to order food and beverages (free and delivered to your seat if you are being laid off), and will provide Severance, COBRA, RMAP, Enhanced Early Unemployment and Counselling information. Watch instant HD replays of reactions by laid-off employees as their names appear on the Video Ribbon Feed. The app will guide you to the optimal restroom, for you to change the pants you shat into. Finally, you can post, tweet, insta, pinterest, prismatize, etc. - choose from a variety of pre-written text and pre-composed pics. Sample Text: I got laid off at Cisco and all I got was an experience that rivals watching the Super Bowl at Levi's Stadium. Seats are fitted with propulsion systems - flight paths have been already fed in, mostly with an intermediate stage for passenger jettisoning in the Bay and final destinations in Asia and East Europe. If you sign up on the app to the Special 5 Year Salary Concession, you will get an instant upgrade from the Laid-Off Slave stand to the Laid-Forever Slave stand.
No, names of impacted employees are treated as sensitive information. Shared privately only on a need to know basic.
Yes, 10-15 directors will get cut. Not to worry, We get to supplant unemployment with the deferred compensation we've accrued.
does anyone know the number of directors ?
no wonder CISCO layoffs. Majority of Cisco IT driven by H1 visa holders individuals now managers and directors with fake Indian colleges degrees and experience on their resume + they get 2nd side income from consultants hiring biz (they call Red Badge) through major Indian consulting firms as CUT/KICKback.
Sustainability would fall one day and it has happen now. Innocent folks have lost their jobs in this layoffs, those steal cats are still around hiding and even becoming fatter and would re-hire more red badges after tsunami ends!! very bad for US Citizen workers & for US society.
Yes Names of those affected will be announced one by one on loud speaker across the SJ, RTP and Bangalore campuses then eggs and tomatoes will be thrown at them to shame them on 18th And all that humiliation will be telecast live on TV. Make sure you hide your face.
You have an option to tattoo your team members names .. Part of the package ..
One ballon for one person will be released in the air.
LOL.. i have not laughed so hard in years.. thank you.
yes. and the names will scroll across the cafeteria monitors in between N9K commercials.
Names will be shared on a WebEx, within a WebEx, within ANOTHER webex
Troll
Names will be shared via skywriting.
