Thread regarding VMware layoffs

If you are remote, you have been put on notice Part 2

From the Tanzu all hands today, sounds like remote people basically have a year to find another job and get out, relocate, or get laid off. Sure it wasn't specifically called out, but very telling that it was "If you are remote and more than 50 miles from an office, you can continue to work remote at least through the of this BC fiscal year". Not hard to read between the lines there. This certainly applies to all divisions and wasn't Tanzu specific. BC should have said this in the offer letters, surely a lot more would have declined. Again, if you are remote and don't want to relocate (if they even offer it), you better be looking.

Non sense. Many people from previous acquisitions were kept remote. It is just a question to have a key role (not in your perspective, but in the leadership perspective).
Now, if you’re just one more in the bunch, then…

There is no such thing as a “verbal promise” by an employer. Plan your life accordingly.

He would sell your grandmother to make a buck, he can not be trusted.

All the other managers regurgitate, poorly, his latest desires and wishes.
