Thread regarding VMware layoffs

How many of you think this last week of August is when we know our fate?

Do you think we will hear about our fate in this coming week?

I have a feeling that during this coming week and September first week we will know about first round of reorgs and layoffs.

Not actual layoffs being happening but at least the information will be shared.

With most leaders at VMworld (excuse me, Explore) last week, I highly doubt any communication about layoffs will be made this week. But I have heard integration planning for at least 1 BU is happening this week. Mid September does seem reasonable in that case.

MAMBG has a town hall on September 7th. That is adding fuel to the rumors.

nothing until October, Aug 31, Sep 15 etc. are all extremely unlikely. Oct 30 is revealed as the official close date and BC is not going to reveal their cards this early. After Oct 1 be on alert. No use freaking out before that.

Last week everyone was freaking out saying Sept 1st was the day. Now the “well informed” are saying Sept 15 is the day. I expect that will change to Oct 1st next week some time.

It seems no one knows anything.
