Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Good news

A 3 second study was just undertaken in my mind and the conclusion was that the $50 millon payout to the CEO has a good chance of allowing him to remove himself from the CEO labor pool forever.

If true, it means he will never harm another company.

If anyone's lack of competence deserves the spotlight, it is Pat's.

The board of directors, too!

Major fails on their part.

Be happy that you are getting good bonus without doing any work. This is for all Mr. Raghu haters here.

Glad to get the bonus
I do solid work
Would happily give up the bonus to exchange Mr. Magoo for someone else, turtles can also apply.

I second the notion that far more of the blame for the company's decline can be laid at the feet of PG instead of Magoo. Magoo is/was allegedly a decent engineering type who became d-mb-lucky enough to be the Yes Man ordered to man the CEO seat until MD could sell off the rust bucket that Pat created. If anyone's lack of competence deserves the spotlight, it is Pat's.

Company was ruined by Mr. Pat with all the useless acquisitions. Don’t blame technology guru Mr. Raghu. Be happy that you are getting good bonus without doing any work. This is for all Mr. Raghu haters here.

Definitely not going to "Google, Amazon or Meta" lol mark MY words

More likely he'll get put out to pasture on some BS Advisor or VC position at one of the major VC firms. Then join some sh---y startup boards.

"I think he's a great leader" is a highly subjective statement, and we already did a poll on this, and 9.8 out of 10 people think he's a terrible CEO. So you're wrong!

"will probably be offered a role at Google, Amazon, or Meta. Mark my words. Mark my words." - I don't think this is out of the realm of possibility, but it won't be because he's a great leader. It will be because big companies like to hire leaders from other big companies whether they are successful or not.

Hopefully, Raghu just retires and spares us all from the main thing.

Magoo will probably go to India and become a judge or senator, or some other useless yet high-profile job. He does have experience in that, after all.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Raghu a few times. I think he's a great leader and will probably be offered a role at Google, Amazon or Meta. Mark my words. Mark my words.
