Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

So we know it is happening again to some of us: what is the possible time frame?

Will there be another internal call where we are again informed that we are strategically repositioning to do this or that ?
If I remember correctly it is like 2weeks to a moth between the public release and the regular meeting where we hear "the news"
After that it takes them at most a month to send out the bad news to individuals. so that puts us into July (the beginning of it).
I might be wrong here because most of the layoffs happened around the August timeframe.

Like before I do not think they have a clear plan. It is wait and see where these tariffs and trump's orange wisdom is taking us all. For now he seems to have exhausted his bag of crazy ideas but never underestimate the s.t.u.p.i.d in this respect. The things have calmed down a bit, there is still tensions but manageable for now. He will have to concede on other tariffs as well, the China ones were too brutal to remain in place for longer time. The bad thing is that the milder ones will take time to have a visible effect on the economies AND to get to his tiny brain (even if they try to get there, there is a high probability they will miss it, because it is tiny :-) )

Most of the stuff could have ended if you put nationality on Driver's License, proof of legal residency to open a bank account, and requirement to be legal in order to obtain a ITIN number. If that was implemented in the last administration, then we wouldn't have this as we do right now.

It’s already done. Impacted employees have been notified today. Nothing to see here (for another 3 months)
@ay+1jv9vbf77 is right. I was notified today. Was a shocker given that a day for me is tomorrow and the earnings announcement was just yesterday.

more delusional ranting, but if all this uncertainty is too much for you to handle, just beat CR to the punch, resign, and go huddle in your cave. now you have what you need - total certainty
