Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Has the fun has ended already?

We know the Slack channels have been shut down to allow any new comments/posts. But Iv noticed they have removed many reaction emojis on Slack. Most noticeably the Hock Tan emoji and other such as :communist: and Xi Jinping emojis. I get the impression we won’t have as much open safe space to speak out our opinions and concerns in the manner we have been used to.

Just checked - all the emojis are still there though. Even those more recently created.

Certainly observing much less transparency just from the mere peek through the comms we’ve received over the last 18months from BC on close… let alone the “scatty cat” immediate action of shutting down most of slack channels and removal of emojis. Someone’s getting insecure seeing us all who can freely discuss pretty much anything under VMware corporate culture. Action speaks louder than words
