Spoke to a customer today who has had a support ticket opened for months now... support and our product development have basically told him that they don't have the time to address his issue. Meanwhile the issue is a known problem which is effecting... — read more
Possibly more layoffs in February.
The comrades in management have slated the launch of their yellow ai for February so it is likely they will can more people then. I expect more centres to close as all disposable income seems to be pumped into this thing.
Time to call it a day!
I say this with love to all my fellow brethern. I think it has become quite apparent that omnissa has no interest in its staff or its customers and there are a lot of reasons which many have covered but we serfs must look at the facts. The management... — read more
Bonus
Have anyone got the bonus package yet or heard what % it is
Layoffs underway but not as you would think!
With management now openly changing the role of SEs on the field and expecting them to perform tasks and duties that are outside their typical role and certainly not inline with their original job description, it is now more clear then ever what... — read more
Update on my Q3 and Q4 forecast
Team keep an eye out for a call after I find out how I’m getting paid where I tell you what business will close in the next four months. Perhaps Wednesday? No rush, we do this for fun right?
Leadership week
Leadership week is a joke. Norlin speaking to us about being a leader when he doesn’t do anything but monitor dashboards and fail at executing a go to market strategy is pure comedy. He needs to be the first one fired if this company has a chance.
Legalized corruption
As the end of the year draws close, VP of Indian origin are planning company funded end of year business trips to be with their friends and extended family trips to India. They don’t have money to fund our bonuses but will do everything immoral to... — read more
Norlin is going on his firing frenzy
Norlin is beginning his firing frenzy. He’s getting pressure from KKR and he refuses to take accountability that account alignment was mismanaged, and quotas were improperly set. Some reps need to grow territories 6o7 times previous years revenue... — read more
Is it over?
Is anything happening today?
More layoffs today
Does anyone know the numbers? When will the useless VPs be let go? Totally directionless with no vision.
"omnissa is still invisible in the market."
renu and her marketing team have absolutely zero experience in branding or re-launching a software vendor while microsoft is busy tearing us apart. exactly the dream team you want leading a tough turnaround. who needs the best people with the right... — read more
Omnissa one - terrible feedback
I’m at OMNISSA one and the feedback has been terrible. First hand feedback customers have said it’s not worth the trip. Nothing new, and the AI strategy is trash. A couple customers that have met Kevin norlin asked how he had a job. It’s... — read more
Why more VPs?
Shankar today announced more VPs coz that is the answer? And they travel business class? AV VP Sales is a KN prodigy Trash can people!
No Promotions This Cycle?
From what i'm hearing, there will be minimal if any promotions this cycle. In December the ELT said that performance / merit based reward. Doesn't seem to be the case does it?
Rumors of OMNISSA selling
There are rumors based on things Shankar said that KKR will be selling part of OMNISSA. Could be an interesting next several months. I for one would welcome any opportunity to get out from under this leadership and KKR, both who have proven they have... — read more
Revenue rally was a waste of time
To think that they made some of us travel for this goes to show how clueless they are. Outside of the Microsoft discussion, there was absolutely nothing that we could take into the field and sell. Even the Microsoft discussion is the same old... — read more
SKO
Last August Ruelas and Shanks said there would be a SKO 2025 in Feb, that never happened, yeah they were drunk and acting as clowns. Any ideas when it might happen ;-) …
August layoffs coming soon
Hold on tight, everyone. Another round of layoffs is expected within the next 10 days. The sales numbers are poor, and KKR needs to send people out to make the numbers appear better. The US total sales are in a state of disarray, making layoffs... — read more
Norlin is worthless
Norlin only looks at dashboards and has no clue how to run a sales team or manage a go to market strategy. Hands down the worst sales leader (if that’s what you want to call him) I’ve ever witnessed. Customers, managers and reps don’t respect him. ... — read more
Crickets?
It's almost the end of Q2/H1. Anyone hear anything?
Too Many Cooks
Omnissa has the same problem as VMware. Too many middle managers: manager> sr manager> director>sr director > vp> sr vp lol these positions need to be scrubbed or downgraded like how they did at broadcom. These positions incur a lot of cost and are... — read more
Soon be nothing left!
Sad week again, more people being let go in Europe, it won’t be long until there is nothing left to service customers. I get it’s the PE Runbook but there is only so many times this approach will work before things have to change. Sorry to those... — read more
401 K
50% cap and 10k max its over
Kev!n is Disappointed in you!
You did not go to the training! I’m mad at you!
Omnissa lost paypal
Paypal saw the light and they are pulling the plug. Annual revenue of 30 million dollars gone thanks to our distinguished management who literally have no incling of what they are doing. Tesco are on the verge of pulling the plug too.
August Layoffs
Engineering R&D SEs reduction due to pool model, up to 50% globally Sales ppl - Kev!n focusing reps under 60% mark but those 20-30% and under will be gone. Looking like 20-30% global sales total counted gone
KKR es aqui
KKR mobilizing resources in omnishitshow to head finance functions of Ho-o sapiens fired today Solution engineers moving to grouped model; coz they are just bad KKR now realize this 💩sho is just dat so finally action is there
Kevin Norlin looking to avoid severances
Kevin Norlin created quotas that were based on 4-5 times sales reps comp plans, and nothing to do with the customers or territory revenue generation. This has caused many sales people to grow their territory by 300,400, 500% or more growth over the... — read more
Q2 All Staff later today
It is coming up in just a few short hours... Who is excited to hear how awesome we are, and how we are so much better then Microsoft and Citrix and how our customers just cant wait to buy more of our products? Anyone?
New list who should be fired from Omnissa
It’s time to compile a new list of individuals you believe should be terminated from Omnissa. Following the significant layoff, we had hoped that things would improve, but unfortunately, they have only worsened. Therefore, changes are necessary to... — read more
Layoff is in motion
Watch out, folks! People are letting go of the past three weeks. Leadership and HR are trying to minimize the negative impact by taking a small group of people every other week. The massive February layoff had a really bad effect. The old VMware... — read more
Omnissa at Nutanix event
What another disaster week at Omnissa! We announced that Horizon support for Nutanix will be available late this year, despite working on it since last year and unable to deliver it yet. This is another empty announcement, just like the old VMware... — read more
Latest Omnissa sales results
The train is going downhill, sales are losing deals, and new logos aren’t coming. Renewals are dropping significantly. More layoffs are inevitable
Q2 layoffs coming
Heads up, more layoffs are coming in April. Directors and managers are currently compiling the next list.
Omnissa and IGEL 💩 show
The number of people at the Omnissa booth was absurdly low; as the top sponsor of the event, they couldn’t effectively engage the audience. This incident serves as another stark example of the poor leadership at this company.
No new customers
Nobody wants this legacy tech. There are no fanboys left at the customers. Definitely no new customers. How long left before KKR cuts their loss and what’s left gets sold off so someone can take the s&s and mange the decline? Omnissa X account has... — read more
Is it just me or is everyone sleep this past few weeks?
All crickets in most of the sales teams I know, but what about the rest of the teams? Is everyone just waiting for the next round of layoffs?
