Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Nobody seems to be quiet quitting anymore

It's interesting to see how some good, old-fashioned fear can kick people in the behind and make them start doing their jobs properly again.

In Carbon Black it is business as usual.

No real quiet quitting, but 1) some annoyance at how long it is taking, and 2) from the attrition.

However people are generally in agreement that not back filling attrition is far better than layoffs.

Not sure where you are working but just when you think that the lack of urgency couldn't get any worse, it does. Not many people care anymore. If you aren't going to work and don't care than why haven't you left for another company?

Oh man, the stupid wellness benefit. It's the only thing my managers and their managers keep emailing about. Big deal, $150. If that's the only thing they can spam communicate to us about, it shows that they are also doing poorly.

I'm still working...and it's my observation that they've paralyzed this place!
People barely had a sense of urgency as it was but NOW...they just flat ignore the correspondence, little if anything is getting done, and who can blame anyone!

It's pathetic that they ki-led the q4 wellness reimbursement!

I am in Ops and everyone in Ops has accepted the fact that we will all be laid off on day 1. Few dear souls are being grilled in integration workshops. Rest are just putting in bare min efforts. I go to office Tue/Thursday and not a whole lot people show up. Those who do are chilling. 2nd floor TT table is busy whole day. It’s time to go for lunch.

Quiet quitting is tolerated and expected here, all the way up the leadership chain. Not sure what BU OP works in.

A. The opposite is occurring right now, and
B. Won't have any bearing on decisions that have already been made, or are being finalized.

Chill out, play some golf, visit family, job search, work on your fantasy football team, whatever...

There is one major reason not to resign right now: we want to see how the lazy people react when they get the layoff letter

What is this nonsense? You think Broadcom is combing through 38,000 employees weeks before the acquisition to see who is working the hardest so they can decide who to keep? Give your head a shake. The decisions have almost certainly already been made and it has much more to do with what group you work in rather than how hard you work.
