How much longer until Omnissa sinks?
Given the current situation of our declining revenue and IP being less than attractive for an outside buyer, how much longer do we have until this ship sinks?
What kind of severance was given in the last layoff?
Was there any extended medical coverage included?
Focal review
Bonus and pay increases are in! What’s the general consensus?
Everyone is checked out
Never seen an entire organization all check out at the same time in my career like this. Nobody has confidence in leadership and I would estimate over 80% of people are looking for new jobs. Even new hires are skeptical, turn over the leadership... — read more

KKR: It’s time to address the "Director" bloat and title inflation.
Let’s be real about the state of the org right now. If KKR is actually looking to trim the fat and keep the talent that matters, they need to stop looking at the IC level and start looking at the middle-management layer. VMware spent years handing... — read more

Things at OMNISSA will get harder in 26
Plans are going to be unattainable, pressure I’ll be immense and management will turn a blind eye and expect the field to make up for their ineptitude without offering any solution. No new offerings, no new messaging, and no field support from... — read more

When is the next round of layoffs? Drop your guess here
Lets see who gets it right: I keep hearing mid February. Sales team will be effected big time. Who agrees?
Wondering about calendar post gone
Last night I saw a new post about calendars. Today it is gone. What causes some posts to be removed? Is it from people asking the site owner to take them down?
