Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Layoffs in VCF BU

Not sure the size and scale, but I've seen a handful of folks from the VCF BU side posting over the last 24 hours about them being let go and open to new opportunities.

You're either laid off or going to be laid off. There is no other option. Just accept it and collect RSUs while you can.

  1. Select one of two SKUs
  2. Prepay in full by wire.

Done

It's hard to sell even one SKU when you don't have a functioning sales process.

VCF won't be shutdown. It will just be bare bones until they acquire their next company. THis is the Hock way.

And you don't need sales people if you only have one SKU....

The genius of Hock handlers. There is only one SKU we sell VCF. No one know what customers are paying for. No accountability. They can bullsh-t to Hock all they want. All you mo--ns who are calling for VCF to be shut down don't see that you cannot shutdown the one SKU you are selling.

Hock handlers have probably been laid off that's why 😁

Hock handlers have not taken this thread down yet? Are they on a weekend break?

Lots of VCF gone this week and while there is a bunch of fat, the the wide swath of the kn--e also cut away a number of excellent people who will have no problem landing elsewhere. Meanwhile, all the leadership in this BG who are so far over their heads it's immeasurable, and who created this s-show, remain in place to continue their failures.

This wave will be the first of many until/unless they fix the problem(s) at the top.

VMware was superb company for employees and horrible for shareholders. Broadcom is the opposite. As a result of the above, VMware is now bloated with huge number of senior members both managers and ICs, huge cut is needed so that we reach Broadcom numbers.. wish you all the best, my last day is in November. Director in SRM

Private equity destroyed entire industries like Hospitals in several metros. Eldercare industry got destroed. Destroying a company is nothing new. We have seen this picture many times.

Loaded up Broadcom up to the gills with debt. Buyback shares at the top and not pay back debt. Insiders selling while the corporation is buying back stocks.

Inflation is not coming down. The interest on this debt is not going down. The debt will double every 5 years at this rates.

May be Hock did a good job with a simple service like CA or Symantec. But he is over his skies here with VMware. VMware elites have honed their bull sh-----g skills while under EMC and Dell for decades.

It appears that Hock is going through some elder abuse now. Hard to watch. This is not going to end well for Hock or anyone.

You may want to stay and milk but with all the culling , it may not pan out. It did not for many already … but I do wish you the best and hope it does work out for you.

employees will be kept for additional 3-4 years to keep the lights on.

That's exactly my plan! Milk this for a few more years then retire. It's better than getting flung out into the street at 57 anyway.

There is a reason Dell never touched VMware. Just let it be. One you touch it , it disintegrates.

Hock is just a manager who get paid for a good job. Not Steve Jobs.

Mo--ns, try to milk this bull and su-k on it.

VMware will be gone in 2-3 years, max 10% of the current employees will be kept for additional 3-4 years to keep the lights on.

VMware will be sold to KKR. Just like Omnissa. Broadcom moved a lot of money from its shareholders to Dell and SilverLake. Big writeoff for Broadcom and everyone will be fired in VMware and 10% will be kept to milk this bull.
