Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Vmware employees showed amazing unity today

With all the coordination in chat words WFH, Layoffs, …. Etc

That shows the quality and strength of the whole over the individual.

This coordination can be used to disrupt this and get Microsoft or Google to take over.

Start spreading the word for google and Microsoft executives to understand vmware and how it maybe great fit.

Hahaha You guys are already in panic mode. It’s laughable. Goog or MS could be a lot worse.

Raghu says he's "disheartened" by the 'unconstructive' comments whilst turning the ripcord for his golden parachute over in his fingers.

Coordinated resistance, even if it fails, is better than sitting like a deer in the headlights waiting to be run over. Organize, make yourself heard, do things that are protected but that corporations hate (salary discussions, start a union drive) but are protected actions so you have grounds for an NLRB action if you are let got. This is not the time for passivity. The 21st century midset of if I can't win I won't try sucks and should be thrown out and never revisited. Sometimes you just need to do the right thing.

Neither MS or Google will take you over. And you’d be worse off if they did. Broadcom and google are partners, MS is as bloated as VMW is.They are not interested.

Stop thinking you are special. Virtualization is a dying art.

If you want a different suitor get a bunch of big customers like GE at one point could have done it. They have typically invested in companies that they purchase s/w from to ensure stability in what they’ve purchased.

I don’t think GE can do it now, but get 8 or 10 companies who can spare some change and have them all outbid Broadcom. Get big and loyal customers that have been around since the early 2000s. There are many. I”m sure they don’t want their infrastructure to go down the tubes.

This is a call for all of you Sales folks! You know who you are!
