Doomscrolling, here. Are those who will be impacted already scheduled for their 1:1?

NetApp is not very transparent about this. I know several people were impacted in May 2022 - yet nothing was ever announced even though more than 5% were impacted. Some companies are more thoughtful and transparent than others. NetApp really sucks at... — read more 

Anybody from EMEA reading this blog?

Have impacted people been told or meeting scheduled already. Or is this happening throughout the week.

Subject says it all

8% reduction focusing in EMEA and APAC.

Yup . CEO just sent out a ‘today is the day for size reduction’ paraphrasing ofc. 8% !!! Damn.. Lunch: Classical Italian$4.59. Stay civil, and be thankful for any severance you (I) may get .

Apparently I am on the chopping block - havent received the new yet, but I think its time we spoke about severance. Can anyone throw insight into that?

Notices are going out for 1:1's tomorrow morning, if you get one you are most likely hit. If you don't get one you should be ok.... but check with your manager by end of day. Scope still sounds like it is broad from discussions.... sand paper of... — read more 

Is there going to be another one? When?

Took a while, but finally. The project has always be a joke！ what’s going to happen to the folks in Boulder? https://blocksandfiles.com/2023/01/25/netapp-astra-data-store/

What would George do after Q3FY23?

Regardless of the fact that we all know that no one's job anywhere is ever guaranteed, there are always those who are surprised when they get laid off. How safe do you feel at your job now?

When is it happening ? And what might be the severance ?

High single digits percentage across the board. Employees who have customer facing jobs and have worked remotely will take the worst hit. We are not immune to the high tech stock boosting layoffs currently happening. Kurian as always only cares... — read more 

The typical layoff cycle is early Feb, usually a Thursday, you can check the public event calendar and EBC schedule and they block the week of a formal layoff so they don't run into losing speakers. Last year they pushed to May, none of the... — read more 

The suspense is ki----g me, I just want to move on and see whats in store for me. When is it gonna happen?

I'm using this time to prepare because I think the cuts are not far away. The question is how big will it be and who could be the biggest target?

Title says it all. Anyone have news on any people impacts in the company?

Downgraded by Morgan Stanley with a target price $10 below where it is now. The global financials which have driven the bottom line are sucking wind. The only way to maintain bottom line revenue is to dramatically reduce expense and the fastest way... — read more

The writing is on the wall, clearly now. I just want to know how long before the car hits the deer. Honest answers, please.

What are the reasons why you decided to return here? I desperately want to leave.

Stock down huge on guidance for next year. We are the new Facebook. The only way out of a VERY large layoff. It's already in the works.

no comments...

There are many here who can get a new offer elsewhere but are still here. I don't blame them for hesitating to leave this place, because I'm not sure how much greener the grass is with some competitors. I don't want to say that it's good here, I'm... — read more 

Rumor has it one of the big wheels at Netapp is leaving. Is that a signal of something to come or a career move on the individual's part.

For every employee in Cork one in the US will lose their job. The company as usual is more interested in tax strategy than technical innovation. No growth requires expense reduction and tax avodience to keep Kurians stock options in the green.

Freeze on expenses and travel. Freeze on hiring. Compensation plans adjusted. Kurian only cares about the stock price. NTAP falling in the Gartner quadrants. Winter is coming.

I have been checking my email first thing in the morning - just to see if I can still access it.

Don't take my word for it, but the rumors I hear is that more cuts are coming. I wish it wasn't true. Maybe someone has a little more info?

Cesar Cernuda, President, on September 15, 2022, sold 18,000 shares in Netapp NTAP for $1,256,677. Following the Form 4 filing with the SEC, Cernuda has control over a total of 78,463 shares of the company, with 78,463 shares held directly. The... — read more 

You are in for a treat, I would say have an early Thanksgiving and if possible, Christmas too.

Wait until your name gets called.

Many companies are preparing lists of people to be laid off, what's NetApp doing? Will it be a sudden axe or will there be a leak of information beforehand?
