@1udr+1mmBmQPq Is so spot on

The US is bi--hing about high inflation rates, take a look at the UK, 10% and not good short term prospects for that going down.

It will be. We ain't seen nothing yet

Really? When? Why? Do you have any evidence or are you just parroting the stuff you saw on business-friendly media?

Stop watching cr-ppy media. The large corporations and business-friendly media have been flogging this recession male-cow-dung for quite a while, despite all indicators.

The businesses are desperate to goose the numbers for their next quarter, and one easy way to do that is to lay lots of people off. They want to lay people off, but they need a good reason -- to avoid questions about their competence in managing a business.
("You just suddenly wanted to lay off 17,000 people because you wanted more bonus?")

If they can successfully convince people that a recession is underway or that an economic downturn is inevitable, no one questions mass layoffs, and few put together the next quarters good results with massive cost cutting.

It's all a shell game.

It's recession. Every company is downsizing and scaling down. Everything is hard to sell. Better to stick around if you can get a few months of severance package at VMware and hoping to ride through this. Even the government is running out of ink from the cash printing machine.

Asking in an anonymous forum about layoffs may not be the best choice of getting a response you want to hear.

The question may have artificially narrowed the set of people who can answer.
Just ask: Is vmware a good company to be at?

My answer is:
There is much uncertainty at the present time.

Any port in a storm, but if the weather is clear for you, maybe keep looking for a better port?
