How did you do it? What did you do with your laptop? is there anything you wish you had done differently? From my understanding Cisco and NC are "at will", hence no legal requirement for notice.
Spare me the "burning bridges" comments. Cisco is not a bridge I want to keep. I just watched my leadership sc--w over hardworking teammates over and over again. I am DONE.
One interesting aspect is if you give two weeks notice and tell Cisco that you are going to a rival company, they exit you immediately and pay you the two weeks.
TAC is too toxic to stay right now. Very inept leaders in decision making levels
Can't give details obviously, but yes. Hopefully you've planned accordingly, saved, have rsus, espp and a backup plan. Copy all of your intellectual property smartly, scrub what you can, give a date in the future, exhale and exit the hamster wheel.
RTP is still open?
There's an internal page that you can search for detailing exactly how to return your laptop using FedEx, easy-peasy. You can send the tracking number to your manager if they inquire about the laptop.
I quit with minimal notice, as a contractor. I was LR'd, sat out a year, then came back as a contractor, essentially doing same work. One of the managers on another team got snooty and borderline rude with me on a release approval conference call. I professionally called him out. He complained to my contracting company. During my time out after the LR, he was moved from his older reporting structure, to a Director whom I am good friends with outside of work; from years ago. I did not work for the Director who I am a friend with, when I came back as a contractor. I left with like three days notice, mostly because of getting beat up on calls by a bunch of complainers who delayed a release; primarily because their groups themselves were not resolving issues that were dependencies for new code. I left, my old Director friend asked me why. I gave him details of the issue, and gave him proof I had communicated to the problem manager, time and time again; that we had a dependency on the release that was due to the manager basically ignoring me. That was, until the call; when his group was flagged on the slides going to the VP and the stakeholders on the reason for delay. The problem manager did not know I was friends with his boss. Four months later, my old friend Director LR'd the manager. Ironic, because a year later he was LR'd also. I worked release management; and have been asked several times to come back. The answer is not no, but h3ll no. Toxic.
I suggest you let yourself cool down before making foolish decisions in this economy.
Send a note in writing all it needs to say is “I quit. Effective now”. Give them your address and email of where they can send your final paycheck. Your manager will take the necessary steps.
Send/give your laptop to your manager. I recommend doing it in a way that you have record it was received. Meaning don’t leave it on a desk somewhere.
Cisco will follow up with separation steps.
