My husband has been with Cisco for 16 yrs this month. He’s says if you’re getting laid off, you’ll get a meeting notice with a higher up the night before. I’ve been fearing it ever since he turned 50.
That’s what happened to me. A director sent a con-call invite on a Sunday evening to some 500+ attendees for an 8AM Monday call. However, the layoff affected only some 200 people on the call.
I knew exactly what it was about.
