From what I recall, they called themselves Pivots throughout my time at VMware. They would also celebrate "Pivotal" events on Slack, like anniversary start dates dating back to their first day of work at Pivotal. They definitely had one another's back and made new hires who didn't know "the Pivotal way" feel excluded. Again, from what I recall, there wasn't anybody particularly extraordinary, only protected. I think I would have liked VMware so much more if I joined a group where everybody didn't come from the same company at the same time.
Pivots is a term for those that came from pivotal “consulting” before Maritz added most of his failed acquisitions at VMware into the “new” pivotal. Only the original pivotal consulting folks with their obnoxious know-it-all attitudes refer to themselves by this childish name.
I was at VMW for just a short amount of time under Paul Maritz before he handed the reins to Putz Gelsinger, but I'd be interested in the opinion of pivots on his tenure at Pivotal.
"Pivots" is a term for employees that worked for Pivotal before it was acquired by VMW, and owned technology in cloud foundry, project management, and Spring (Java framework). It was a term of endearment and camaraderie, as most people at Pivotal had a profound respect for their work and each other. What Pivotal's software has become today is a far cry from what it was upon inception, but that is more due to a continuous failure in leadership- not a reflection on the engineers who built it.
Well, what makes VMware cool is that all of its non ESX products are SO relevant that they are being force fed to customers who only have one or 2 skus to choose from with a sh**load of expensive stuff they don’t want. That’s ways a sign of a popular product. You will buy it and you will like it!
Here's hoping headman hock gets you too buddy
