Thread regarding NetApp layoffs

Wtf are they talking about here ?

https://blocksandfiles.com/2023/10/26/netapp-and-ai-incumbency-vs-new-entrants/

NetApp has always been abstract about the use cases it solves - never have I ever seen clear and concise in their description of a problem

This is why we see so many dazed and confused employees who eventually get laid off .

Artificial Intelligence might end up being the ONLY intelligence in NetApp's C-suite leadership... so maybe this is a good thing? lol

Reminiscent of the training module "Telling the NetApp Story." Forty minutes of training to teach you to use appropriate buzzwords and to answer direct questions with more questions and deflection.

Saying you are partnered with Nvidia like it means something is like saying the ho---r you paid for is your girlfriend. Everyone is partnered with Nvidia.

Yes, these are all buzzwords. But this is a partnership with nVidia and is, I think, overselling the piece that NetApp actually provides.

People who move to different companies and still comment here. How free you are ? Don’t you have any thing better to do ?

Boys and girls and the strong/weak ones,

Are you in or not? You can NOT be in and pretend to be competent (???) while bit…. all over + sabotaging the company’s reputation knowing you are useless and should be on the RIF list.

I was with NetApp for 8 years and there were a few rounds of layoffs (per BCG and McKinsey transformation proposals). NetApp had its share of issues but at the end of the day, I defined my own value and determined my own future - I’m with NOW today.

Be careful what you wish for and be accountable for who you are as the problems are NOT always someone else’s’!
