Thread regarding VMware layoffs

SDE division layoffs

a lot of the SDE division being layed off currently across US and emea. APJ to come?

Upper management and execs silent of course and haven’t explained their rash decision (outside the obvious cost saving reason).

Can anyone comment their region and job role in order to get a better sense of numbers gone?

“ Plenty of deadwood gone in SDE. Sanjay and Hock with a favor to everyone.”

True. But the whole BU is deadwood.

I don't think there are 4000 in SDE, let alone 4000 cuts

I heard from a TAM that was cut it's almost 4000 employees

How would a TAM know? Are they so special that they have a view I to the whole plan?

Most Sr. Directors outside of HR are not told the entire scope of a RIF

I just got my notification via meeting. I’ve been with the company for many years. It’s been a good ride but my calling is finally here. Another friend/colleague also got cut.

It’s hard work. Many hours. But I didn’t complain about the pay and experience. Going to miss a lot of folks with awesome talent.

It su-ks being let go —but business be businessing.

I can’t say the experience I’ve had with HR yet because that process starts in a couple of days.

Good luck to all who stays!

"Upper management and execs silent of course"

Broadcom has threatened VMW management. They will remain silent to save their job.
