This meeting was the biggest fake show I think I’ve seen in my time here. First 20 minutes of the meeting celebrating how successful Explore was and how all the customers loved every single thing. Oh and the parties, the magician, the bourbon tasting. - huh? We can’t get budget for a paper clip, but we have budget for bourbon tasting? Purnima patting herself on the back repeatedly.
Then Aria. It’s so wonderful. So majestic. It’s the key to our future success. And the comments from people ooo’ing and ahhh’ing. But let’s skip the elephant in the room with mass exits, reorg after reorg and morale in this sh----r. Made me so sick to watch all of it.

Of course new hires are going to be all excited, they just had a huge sip of kool-aid. Sane and reasonable people wouldnt join, so you get a nice echo chamber of people that sooner or later will wake up and smell reality
You say that - I see tons of new starters and saying 'how proud they are to join.
So weird ... They must be living under the rock ... or maybe it's me that lives under the rock - who knows
I hope we find a photo of this “bourbon tasting” with all our leaders drunk as the ship goes down. I guess there will plenty more of this behavior in PA when the offsite takes place.
Go team!
Managment truly does live in another reality. Where is all the empathy for the boatloads of people who are all out looking new jobs and those who will be let go. Such fakes, it makes one sick to their stomach.
Hock Tan is too extreme, but we do need someone to take out the trash. I guess you can’t pick your garbage man.
Sales all hands was super cringe. Kool aid drinking galore. All praise our Lord and savior Hock. Eye roll. 🙄
@wdt+1iCUaktR Yeah the current congratulatory a-s-slapping from sales leadership is truly absurd. But honestly, what kind of id--ts would we see applying if we did try to backfill those open positions? Nobody in their right mind is trying to get in the door at VMware right now. Most applicants for other roles that I'm seeing are very junior and would be happy just to have the name on their resume, however briefly.
It’s all a sh—t show. was feelin like only one after that meeting. Starts at the top like all other BUs…. Same non-sense being spilled out.
We don’t have office supplies no more all. Paper clips are too expensive for us.
Lesson 1 for SVP/VP how well can ya talk BS? Lesson 2 save face for ya new boss hock
Don't worry the sales all hands talked about how everyone just ki---d it for Q2. They failed to say that it is because everyone rushed deals in before Broadcom but hey whatever makes them happy. Guess we can still give away cars for top sales people but can't back fill positions.
