Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

are layoffs effective immediate?

For the ones being affected by the LR, are they making it immediate, or did they give you a near future end date? i remember for some of the previous layofss they gave a long notice before the end date; also people from my team got layed off and they were around for 1-2 extra weeks

Good luck trying to mount a thumbdrive on a corporate laptop - go on, try it!!

Google drive. I've been using it since they locked out the USB ports for thumb drives to save my paystub. Saved my LR docs this morning. Never tried to save any work files - don't care and nothing that special. They tell you to save your personal docs before you lose your access in two months so its no mystery that folks would do this.

Copy your personal information to a thumbdrive, move it to your personal computer, then delete it.

I had use of my laptop for 2 months after my layoff, but VPN access was eliminated. Still had access to some key things relevant to the layoff like documents and forms.

@a1 not true, you will have access to HR, job search, Webex, its a cutoff but they give you 1-2 months to find another position internally depending on the country/role.

Always immediate, including immediate loss of access to any corporate resource.
