Sustainability, DEI, and giving back. great.

Are words that Hock does not know the meaning of.

How does current leadership look at themselves in the mirror? I guess all that cash helps them lie and put on a happy face.

VP of DEI just left after short 6 months. So, with Broadcom this topic will be greatly de-emphasized. His departure signals that.

the audience looked so demotivated and miserable, hardly a fan fest

Did you notice the new product leadership - monochromatic and uni-national.
Can’t get more DEI than that.

Oh wait, it can. Still has 2-3 male whites to swap.

C’mon. DEI is real work. See how it’s turned VMware into one profitable machine

I was so happy to see that VMware is continuing with DEI even if the compay is filled with people who don't do any real work.

For those who think Raghu is a terrible CEO, Nutanix would like to have a word with you...

Nothing to say about the layoffs. 🤣 We aren't there yet? Okay, you just laid off a bunch of recruiters, lmao.

"But no NEW info at all on the biggest thing dangling over the heads of everyone listening."

Like what? There's literally no news to share. Yet we have to suffer through 30 minutes of the same questions asked every few months even though anyone who has been paying attention knows that there is no answer.

Hock will figure out a way to turn the Carbon Transparency dashboard, into a dashboard which will show him how to quickly and effectively raise prices for customers, and somehow tie it back to decarbonization.

The only ones buying this BS are the sycophants on the chat, and the people in the room clapping and smiling at everything Raghu says. Little do realize the vast majority of them will be laid off with the turtles

A meeting with a big agenda that has no real information.
Some VPs left, but we are good.
Multi-cloud is good
Hok loves cloud
Regulators and lawyers are in charge.
Be nervous, you are learning to be valuable or something because of this.
We can't tell you anything different. Maybe the transaction happens now or later.
Thanks for attending!

Oh my god, what a brush over of 3 very senior leaders leaving, ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

Raghu "Ignore the elephant in the room everyone"

These first 15 minutes have been "yes the transaction is ongoing, we are having meetings, thank you lawyers... no we can't tell you anything real yet. About BU's about dates, no, we have no information"

Thanks for coming to the global meeting. Hope you enjoy getting the same info you had the last 3 months.

The experience of going through a large acquisition is a good thing! We should be thanking them for this growth opportunity.
