Thread regarding Symantec Corp. layoffs

No directions, "free" salary, no role and left in the dark

I’m in sales. 98+% of my peers were told on 11/12 that they were terminated and tomorrow would be their last day. 
However I was told I was on a list to transition the business until January. Yet no one knows what I am to be doing. I’ve talked with my HR “managers” and they have no idea. They are hoping that we will get some direction soon.

So NLOK pays us for sitting around and listening to the All Hands calls and read the layoff.com? I guess we are the “stranded costs” that Vincent wants to get rid of.

My transition letter says I would support the business I’m my current role. My current role is gone, as my customers are gone and I have no access to tools (SFDC, Price Lists, quoting tools, etc) and no one to approve them. Really?

Still waiting........ Who else in the same situation?

@127lcrPC-2ocv, there are 2 categories of customers: Strategic and Enterprise. If you spend a sh– load of money with Symantec, you're a strategic and Broadcom will make its employees to lick your balls if it's needed to fix issues, and you have Enterprise, 80% of the total, and Broadcom doesn't give a sh–. And screw customers, find a new job and be happy

We don't need to care about our customers for as long as we make them successful.

No one cares about customers

No one cares about customers, you can spend the whole day drinking tea or coffee because probably your manager don't care or doesn't exist. Enjoy this crazy time!

Same everywhere , if the top managers are left in the dark what do you expect ? Only Mr.Lie to come and b—s— you.

My 2 cents advice ? look for a job and use the free time you have to forge your self and be ready for the next challenge.

Good Luck !
