AirWatch is best VMware product. Milton Keynes, UK is the greatest site for AirWatch. I do not need
to calculate revenue per employee; it is an exercise best left for small minds in Palo Alto, Atlanta and
London. Does deadwood exercise?<<

@Kingston852
Milton Keynes office was formally shutdown. Hope you moved away before the closure.

kingston852 you can shut everyone up by simply sharing revenue for per employee working on aw. compare that to numbers for horizon and vsphere. several months ago, i was not able find $ amount posted even internally.

you will eventually learn the hard way. wish sheithead execs were as loyal as you are, my good man or woman!

@S4tyU9E-jibs sounds like you have a bad time in your work place. Maybe you should take a look at your workplace and if not happy just move on. Airwatch has some employees that have been there since the start and that includes workers that are still doing the same job and are happy and making a difference in the role all day long. Airwatch is an amazing product and will continue to be so for a long time. VMware purchased for a reason, but small minds will not see this.

Why are you morons wasting your time? EUC leadership is invincible. Ruthless will publicly castrate you if he ever identifies you.

Fresh college graduate kingston852,you need to grow up and wake up to reality;read some earlier threads.Greedy corporate leadership does not care about customers or businesses;their focus is filling their own coffers before moving to the next company to destroy.EUC leaders are from Citrix where they squeezed out innovative geniuses.They are shamelessly doing the same at VMware.

Instead of supporting organic innovation they overpay to buy crappy companies like AW;likely get huge kickbacks conveniently paid overseas or in cryptos.Engineers mostly on non-immigrant visas,are forced in to inhumane working enviroment;after they meet deadlines are corerced to train their replacements.In the current model at VMware,definitely in EUC,everyone except VeePiss and GerMs are losers.

Creekside and Prom are building collections in Palo Alto. Creekside-E has EUC butcher shop;Prom-A houses industry's best-in-class software security and performance teams in Central Engineering organization.I really hope that software security and performance teams are preserved and not decimated due to money-grubbing BU leaders.

Update your resume; goodluck all.

EUC f..ing leaders are forcing engeers to deliver ptoduct to get their promotion and later scrap engineer tem. That makes eng to become coding monkey instead of innovating something new.

AirWatch is in deep red losing megabucks. Apparently that's the reason EUC does not provide breakdown of revenue

Probably a few but in Europe businesses want quality not quantity. Milton Keynes is not in London only impacted to get rid of the dead wood previously. Airwatch makes a nice big figure compared to other products and has less issues

Yo! Kingston852

LOLZ. How many 5%ERS can be hired with your salary in Bangalore? I am guessing 3 - 5. 5% of €100,000 tax free is great in BitCoins. In January top-notch Londoners got laid off. Was London office not good? b---s--- pal.

Wtf are creekside-e and pom-a ? p--n? Up the creek? doing greek??

Still no mention of the VMware Airwatch office in Milton Keynes, UK. It must be a safe site as dell are moving some office staff to the location. It's a good office so will be kept on. We have been here years now and Airwatch and workspace one are amazing apps. Mobility is the way the world is turning.

workers at india office are relatively safe. pink slips are being printed en masse for slaves in building creekside-e and pom-a, payola alto, atlanta, seattle, cambridge, london and beijing. exact date for notices is being fanagled by sheithead and other indian frat boys to maximize their payola opportunities.

this year vmware did not make it on linkedin's top 50 places to work. position on fortune's list is due to orchestrated efforts by hr. very soon vmware will become a virtual company in silicon valley; only managing buildings and campus.

Do not like EUC management and cannot move to other department, why not leave VMware ? Lay offs happening, take advantage of package and move to other great companies.

I left because EUC now has an all around toxic work environment; VMware HR is not competent and more importantly, unwilling to address sh--ty workplace atmosphere created by a particular EUC VP and EUC Director in PA.

When a victim files lawsuit against VMware then HR will blame BU head and pretend they did not know in advance about the intimidation.

VMware HR rep, a man with a name that rhymes with dreg, was more interested in identifying people that filed Etica claim rather than reaching out people victimed by the brash leadership. May be #StopIntimidationMeToo campaign would help because intimidation is asexual.

Transfers are not easy. Managers and HR would rather lay off people; not let them transfer to other teams. Pretty f---ing sick mentality of EUC management

Corporate HR team will likely require EUC to delay April/May purge to VMwares semi-annual purge in July/August.Behind the scenne wrangling, reorg and redeployment of employees to other BUs will allow EUC to receive budget credit while not officially laying off till July/August.

People take advantage of this short reprieve and leave EUC now.Stay away from jobs in PA, STL, ATL, BOS, Bloomington, CO, LDN and BJG that support EUC;majority will we be gone between July and January.

Oh, only in EUC! That makes sense reading through VMware results. It is a real bummer you people are suffering mismanagement in EUC.

We are still hiring in SDDC in the US, take a look at open positions and transfer over.
