Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

How long does it take?

I’m extremely nervous, never been laid off before, but if it’s gonna be another round, I am sure I’m gonna be on the list. Noting firm, just have that horrible gut feeling. Does someone know how they usually do it? Are you being called to a meeting in conference room? With HR only? How long does it usually take?

It's all scripted, 1:1, very quick, mine was under 10 minutes. No hard feelings, a good package makes things easier. I knew it was coming, it made it easier.

Yeah if you see a one on one meeting with your boss pop up that you were not expecting then it's probably your turn to walk through the trapdoor. No HR, just your boss spewing their by now well practiced lines. They will hand you the separation package info and you will be on your way.

No HR involved. Your manager will schedule a 1 on 1 or team meeting, and it usually takes no longer than 15mins to run their LR script.
