Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Do invites happen throughout the day?

What I'm asking is, if I don't have an invite by the official start of the workday, does that mean that I won't be getting one or is there still a chance one can pop up throughout the day?

@lsx+1u10rReV If that's the case, then the current layoff will continue towords the Xmax and then after Q2 enraning call, they may do the next layoff, so it will be a loop lol

@qbd+1u10rReV good point but i still think the expectation that anyone and everyone impacted will be notified in the next few days isn't realistic.

They said 70-80% of the COST of the layoffs would be realized in Q1, so that includes any severance + the two months WARN time has to be paid out in Q1.

There are still teams where final decisions are not fully made, leadership has until 8/22 to finalize. If you're on a team where there is a lot of change happening real-time, notifications will likely be spread over about 10-12 days.

Managers, are you allowed to tell folks if layoffs for your team are done? Or at least confirm if someone is not laid off?

If I don’t hear anything by, say, 11:00am, I’d be tempted to ping my manager and ask if they can tell me whether I’m good.

I thought I was safe in Feb 2024 round bc I hadn’t received a meeting invite by noon the day after earnings. It popped up on my calendar at 12:30pm for 3:30pm.

A small number of people will be notified tomorrow, if history is any indication of how they're running this one.

Yes I have been through multiple layoffs during my tenure and there is one I remember where layoffs happened throughout the day. Manager would step out of his meeting and tell us 3 left or 2 left etc.

I wouldn’t count yourself safe if you haven’t got one by start of business day. No one has yet confirmed if notifications will even happen today.
