is it effective immediately? Or you get 2 months? 3-4 months severance?

If you could share your BU and location

Is it worth getting a lawyer?

Hi everyone - not necessarily a speculative post on what may come post the earnings call however sharing a dose of care to those reading this. LRs for the most part are decisions made on the role - not the individual. So, should you be wishing for an LR and it does happen, then I wish you all the best. Should it happen unexpectedly for you, take some time for self care, rewind and reset - we all deserve it. And, be assured that you will be OK, and perhaps even better than OK (well, from those I have spoken to in the past at least). Let's all support each other everyone. LR may come, it may not but let's all check in each other as the world needs it more than ever.

From what I have seen, very little hiring in FY25. So that might be good, maybe no LR. But on the other hand, heard folks who are fine earlier, are now on 'Below Expectations' in the latest review. Is this management asking all teams do do stack ranking, and force 1-2 into the bottom that are easy candidates to LR ? Who knows.

What's your take on the CX Americas RTO for RTP and Richardson? Is this just a way for Cisco to avoid LRs in Q1 by enacting a RTO? They estimate a certain amount of employees will resign anyway, so Cisco doesn't seem like the bad guy since they won't be doing LRs. Just a fancy way of HR and Legal to escape looking bad. We're onto you.

My friend was a contractor with Cisco. He and his whole team of 7 contactors just got laid off with immediate effect. Reason was given as budget cuts.
