Topics regarding layoffs at McAfee

I still like my job, am I really the only one?

Reading through these posts it seems like everybody who is still at McAfee hates the fact they're still here. I guess I'm among the few who still like their job here. Pay and benefits are decent and my coworkers and even my boss are great folks, so... — read more

Build a safety net

A colleague told me this shortly after I started - build a safety net. After I survived my first round of layoffs I understood what he meant. I’m still here but for how long - I don’t know. I don’t enjoy knowing that the fate of my employment lies... — read more

Layoffs every year

I worked there for 9 years and only just recently moved to a different company. While I was there I saw layoffs at least once every year. Some years bigger than others. Some years saw layoffs happen twice. It's normal for McAfee. Just wanted to... — read more

No more layoffs for the next 6 months?

Judging by the past few rounds, there is usually six months between any larger layoffs. Which means we should be safe until June or July, right?

Did McAfee ever have job security?

I've been here for three years and in that time I've learned that the threat of layoffs is a normal part of my job. It's not something I'm used to yet and it's making my job extra stressful. Now I'm wondering if it's always been like that? If it has... — read more 

Bring back US based support!

Our company started using McAfee about the time they shifted virtually all phone support to outside the US. The folks on my team would constantly complain about difficulties understanding McAfee’s outsourced phone support with their thick accents and... — read more

When will this end?

Looks like every day we hear news about more layoffs. I'm starting to wonder when exactly is this going to end? It's already nerve-wracking to know layoffs are happening but to have no idea when it will end? That just rubs salt into an already... — read more

When I Left

I told the current management they had poor judgement when I left before the layoffs. There is nothing more true. Short this stock.

What’s left of the old McAfee?

I was laid off last year and I stopped by this site just to see how the whole show is going. Unfortunately, nothing seems to have changed. I remember better days when the name of this company still meant something and I’m wondering what is left of... — read more

TPG, Thoma Bravo at it again...

Remember, it's all about cash flow. They will continue to cut, close offices, cut capital and expenses, payroll, etc.

Are they laying off the best people again?

It’s amazing to me that at a time when cybersecurity is more important than ever, Mcafee does business the way it does. Due to the lack of transparency of this company, I still do not know the scale of the cuts, but I assume that the measures taken... — read more

Skyhigh people layoffs?

Any one knows what's going on with skyhigh people at McAfee? Are we growing our cloud security business?

Any news?

This forum has been quite lately , any layoffs news, or acquisitions coming? Who will buy Mcafee do you think? or will we become a public company?

OK, That's It

Well, it's kinda hard to grow revenues when the company hasn't really invested in any of its homegrown products in several years. Instead, McAfee borrowed a ton of money from Wall Street, using some to buy Skyhigh Networks (getting into the cloud... — read more

Layoffs
