Thread regarding Symantec Corp. layoffs

T-Minus 2 days

Buckle up folks. It’s going to be an interesting ride on Thursday, and don’t be side tracked by the rumored “good” numbers. For those of you that are not RIF’d and choose to stay, best of luck. You realize they have been RIFing groups of people below the threshold they have to legally announce for several quarters leading up to Thursday right?

It’s a dead, shell of a company. The board and major share holder institutions are just trying to get their millions of dollars as the rest of us hope we can care for our families. Broadcom, though never officially acknowledged internally, was interesting because it allowed them to make $$. It made no sense for the actual implementation of things. They didn’t care about employees or customers - only profit.

Take a look on SEC EDGAR to see how much stock the executives and sr leadership have. They are not hurting no matter what happens.

Symantec is a terrible company. It’s all been bad news since I joined 2 years ago. There are deep-seated problems that need fixing.

I was at CA November 2018 when the BRCM Acq finalized, its was a blood bath. Good luck!

Wonder if a massive ADEA suit would impact a potential sale. It's a very grey company.

What a load of old tosh. Companies don't care where you worked before. They just care that you can demonstrate your skills, your knowledge and a good attitude.

Companies outside do not take kind of folks staying longer than desired in a rotten place unless exceptional folks . Now this may not be actually true since there are a lot of good folks at Symantec .

What's new? Rich people want to make money. It is what it is. I hope I get laid off so I can collect the severance and start applying to other companies. At least we are in the tech industry. Finding a job after Symantec shouldn't be that hard.
