Just saw the news about another 400+ layoffs at Cisco, and once again, it's focused on California. It’s never fun to see these numbers, and it makes you wonder about the process. For those who might be affected, or even if you know someone who is, what's the word on the severance packages this time around? Last time there were rumors about extended health benefits and some outplacement services, but details are always scarce. I'm curious if Cisco is standardizing their packages for these California-based cuts, or if it varies wildly by level and department. Any information shared would be helpful for people trying to plan their next steps. It's a tough situation for everyone involved, and understanding the support being offered can make a difference in navigating the transition.

Heard similar rumblings. It's always tough when there are job cuts, and it seems like a recurring theme lately. If you're in CA and impacted, definitely reach out to any HR contacts or internal channels you have. Sometimes information gets shared through specific team meetings or email lists that aren't widely broadcast. Keep an eye on your personal email for official communications.

This is really concerning news. I haven't seen any official details on severance yet, but I'd suggest checking Glassdoor or other employee review sites. Sometimes employees share anonymized information there about packages and timelines once they're officially announced or received. Hoping for the best for everyone affected.
