Makes sense - customers are working to get off of VMware as fast as possible.

Layoffs on April 2nd?

This is the last week before the liberation day. The tariffs are coming April 2nd. Which is next week! We are here. The day of the reckoning. The AI bubble bursting. The world will look a lot different when AVGO is at 50 or 40. Once the AI bubble bursts we will not be talking about VCF anymore. It is going to be mayhem. 25% tariff on semiconductors.

Take a snapshot of your RSU payout schedule. It will be a good one to frame it for posterity and show it to your kids in 10 years.

VCF chief architect went to the competitor. VCF management is gone. VCF engineers were chopped. VCF 9.0 is just a hoax. VCF is just a swindling operation. Please stop saying VCF VCF VCF. It is the greatest hoax on the customers and employees and the sales team and the support team. The customers who have been using VCF since version 1.0 are fed up and actively trying to go back to vsphere.

what is a malthusian cult?

A Malthusian cult refers to a group or ideology that adheres to or is heavily influenced by the ideas of Thomas Robert Malthus, an 18th-century economist and demographer. Malthus is best known for his theory on population growth, outlined in his 1798 work, An Essay on the Principle of Population. He argued that population tends to grow exponentially while food production grows only arithmetically, leading to inevitable shortages, famine, disease, or conflict unless population growth is checked by preventive measures (like birth control) or natural "positive checks" (like starvation or war).

8 billion people is too much. Lets get them down to 1 billion. Sataaanic tantrix cults are always worried about too many people. Nothing new. Burn it down. The tail is chopped off (p1 p2 p3 p4). Now the head will be chopped off (p5 p6 p7). All you have is the carcass that will be offered to the satan.

  1. 0 is late. Lets cut some people. Too many people. Less people will make things faster. The tantrix logic is evil.

If you want ad revenue, then you have to let the USAID censors do their job. I don't blame TLO

Euro UK France and other third world countries are the torch bearers for censorship. If you serve those markets then you are forced to let their USAID sponsored censors to censor your content. It is provided by those countries tax payers. This circus will end soon as their countries debt explodes and they go bankrupt.

Big tech is a creation of the deep state. As the deep state gets carpet bombed the slush funds torched the big tech is going to become small tech. Take your chips and go home. Game over. If you haven't created a side hustle and another income stream then be prepared to be enslaved by the sadistic caaalt in a downturn. Keep all your holes well oiled. God Bless America.

Sadistic bastaaaardds. You can see the glow in their eyes as they are telling someone that they are fired. The giggling when talking about layoffs.

HT is paying 100% of profit as dividends. This is just stupid. He took a perfectly fine company and ruined it by straddling it with 60 billion debt. He has bitten off more than he can chew. The sadistic compulsive gambler who has to ruin everything ultimately. Karma is a bi--h.

If you look at the team that is running VCF now, it is the same team that could not get VCF off the ground since 2015. Well well hopefully VCF 9.0 will be out in this decade. I am not holding my breadth. HT is using the same team but sprinkling fairy dust to change the execution? And cut the team by 60% to go faster? And scare the sh-t out of people who are doing the work? This is a claaastaar faaaak. HT is cashing out 1 billion last year and this year. He will be happily sailing off into the sunset. You can too.

Everyone knows people will be fired once VCF 9.0 is out. So no one is keen on working. They should pray that VCF 9.0 will be out by the end of 2025.

Broadcom Chairman has no patience. Henry Samueli is dumping 500 million of his stock.

The writing is on the wall. All the people who work have been fired. All we have is the fluff. The husk. The bath water. There is no baby. They threw the baby out.

You are fired. You you you all fired. MAGA.

They need time to decide who are the true leaders.
With 9.0 out, it is safe for them to make decision.

"They just want to keep high quality labors regardless of cost."
It is funny. Read it again after three months.
