Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Layoffs during mass exodus

Considering that employees are still leaving in great numbers it is hard for me to believe the rumors that there could be some significant cuts at the beginning of next month. Any thoughts?

common sense, people. BUs and other areas will assign resources and make investments into areas that they deem critical going forward, and will eliminate programs, products, and people that are not critical.
The attrition helps with limiting the numbers of impacted resources, but not all employees can do all jobs. So, expect some cuts, expect some re-assignments, expect some hiring.

I was going to say the same thing. It sucks if you’re in that position but termination of contractors is not layoffs.

You can't "lay off" a contractor. Their contracts end and are not renewed or they are payed out early.

I wouldn't be so quick to call everyone a liar. The post about the contracting BDRs/SDRs getting laid off was true, and they did get laid off because they were contractors and are a quick way to save the company money. Source: myself because I was there.

If BC wants to cut by 9000 employees, and only 4000 leave by the time BC takes over, how many employees must BC cut to reach its goal? Show your work.

People here are liars and spread lots of false rumors. Anyone who actually knows anything wouldn't post it here.
