Thread regarding VMware layoffs

August 31 layoffs

The latest rumors say we finally have our next date for cuts. It's Thursday and the last day of the month, so it would make sense. It would also make sense to clean the house before the acquisition is finalized. I don't usually buy into rumors, but this time my bet is on August 31.

3 Buckets. 1. You are cut. 2. You stay. 3. You can be a contractor until further notice. Approx 80% will be gone. HR not even close to that level. Look how efficient TH runs his HR ship. He sees nothing but bloated DEI & Affirm Action is gone. Meritocracy and word to the wise: Look that word up. The only real meritocracy is America is pro sports and AVGO. You will work your as--s off and be compensated more than fair. If you make it. Good luck. I don’t expect to make the cut- so what. Life’s not always fair. I accept that and embrace change and find something else. Even Costco at $20 sounds like less stress- but $160k less a year for me.

I guess that explains why you didn't read the existing, active posts on this exact topic.

As Doctor Holiday would say, "that's the rumor". But seriously, why another thread on this topic given that we have the other one already going.
