Thread regarding VMware layoffs

All our communication tools will be gone on Day 1

Outlook gone, Teams and Slack gone, Zoom gone. They have Google mail and Webex. :-( AI tools? Forget about it. They are stuck in the last century.

BC uses Google and I believe is also a Google Vertex AI platform customer which bundles AI productivity tools right into docs, presos, spreadsheet tools, search, etc. plus collabs on private LLM models. Corporate level, not "flings".
Is VMW doing this for us?
Sorry folks, but giving the point here to BC.

No they won't. Because they're not "ours", and they won't chop everything off on Day 1 as that would stop the business.

I have also heard this but you cannot call gsuite last century, most modern startups use this and it may not be as good as Microsoft copilot but they do have some AI assistant capabilities.

I see a BC Zoom Instance too.
Google Apps are going to replace O365 though. Who cares?

Would doubt that they get rid of everything. Nevertheless some streamlining wouldn’t even be a bad thing.

Having Teams and Slack at the same time is an absolute sh-tshow.

And still a vastly more profit and revenue per employee? How does that work out with such last century tools?

Email - gone!

Pens - gone!

Paper… don’t make me laugh.

All discussions will take place face to face in the office and will not be recorded.

Regardless of which tools they use, if they have a cohesive communications and content management strategy, they will be light years ahead of VMW.

Far too much useful information held in slack to just get rid of it. Stop being overly dramatic.

Slack is widely used in Broadcom, at least the software group.
