Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Move over AOL Timewarner

A couple weeks to go before this is all over the news as the worst attempt at MA in history.

  1. Hubris
  2. Don’t understand the company’s success
  3. Lack of people (mass exodus)
  4. Missing leadership/staff connection.

Yup we got all four!

Re the Vmware Cloud Services outage. Does this impact customer production environments?

Buying time with BS like APEC etc. Deal will be called off on 26th. Silverlake will not play penalty to itself for this bogus acquisition.

You can downvote all you want. This has been blown apart for months. Hocks ego was just too big to be honest and look like a herb.

Yes it is a sht show. Don't tell the core people your plans, lie to them at every opportunity to keep them sweet as long as possible so they don't all jump ship at once. Sht company, sh*t place to work because they treat you like nothing. The people on here defending this are hilarious, brainwashed to the max. Find another place to work, you will look back on this and laugh at it, thinking why didn't I leave sooner.

Hello vmware, azure and aws are calling to say You're irrelevant

You all that have nothing better to do than come on here and complain non-stop are going to be crying to your moms when this gets approved. I hope you are the first out the door. Buh bye Felicia!

You've gotta be living under a rock, or in a completely useless role, to not understand how much value this acquisition will bring VMW customers. This is an exciting time, we're all waiting for it to close, and it's a very small world so this organization will meet again either through relationships, partnerships, business acquisitions, or customers. Stay pleasant and positive.

I can see this happening, they did put us into boxes/pods that make sense what so ever, forced roles on people they have no skill set in and ripping long term customer relationships apart even before VMWare is acquired. Employee want to leave more than ever just by what has happened in the last couple of weeks.
