Thread regarding VMware layoffs

For those who got RSUs on June 29th (w/ the 1/3rd vest cliff on Mar1 '23

Wait till you see the Zane and Betsy email... Hilarious they are pi-ping an accelerated vesting schedule due to our fiscal results! Congratulations! Get exited.... Then read it.

Really we just moved forward the 2025 and 2026 vesting into March of 2025 for a big lump sum... Because we know most of you wont be here and we will never have to pay it... Please don't leave yet!

An interesting take on a retention bonus, can't fault them for trying something clever even if a slim majority will be here to see it. He-l, even the March 1st date seems too far away to survive but who really knows.

I have 3 active RSU grants from the cycles before it as well; however, they're not being accelerated. Color be shocked.

Well, I got RSUs back in July and I left a few days ago. Couldn’t care less about 21k on RSUs VS a better offer from a better company

I would love to know how many people have left so far since the acquisition was announced. Not only do I think it's a big number, it's probably some of our best people.

3,628 since June 1st.

You're welcome!

Here is my two cents. Ppl who thing company won’t work with out you, wake the he-l up, you just a cog in the machine that can be replaced. Now that was rude to some of you, but that’s reality. So do what’s best for you quit whining and whimpering.

That's why Hock's recent blog article about growing the business through innovation, and providing value to customers, is complete and utter BS!!! How can you do that when your best and brightest have left? Hire more talented people? What halfway talented person is going to want to work for a place that forces you to come to the office, and constantly monitors their employee's whereabouts?
