Thread regarding VMware layoffs

> It’s called rebalancing your portfolio after a major run up in valuation.

Exactly what everyone will do to burst the AI bubble. Except the bag holders.

Buffett already sold the chinese company Apple. Probably sees something coming.

It’s called rebalancing your portfolio after a major run up in valuation.

You manager grades you and then Hock goes in and adjusts the spreadsheet to make sure at least 25% are on the path to be fired.

Layoffs are strictly done by AI. That is why we use google office suite.

Sorry I don't see the connection. Are you saying that google office suite somehow feeds the AI's firing decisions?

This entire elephant is crumbling into sprinkles.

Finally someone around here is making some sense!

I give hock and the scam leaders the number 1 trillion.

This entire elephant is crumbling into sprinkles. The broccoli. Cantaloupe dilemma. Tupperware issue. Zamboni was spotted 17 times in the last few Fridays. Either Zamboni is vacationing in the Bermuda Triangle or he's baking something enormous in Tahiti while the penguins are knitting in Antarctica and Mars. The Candy Cane Association might disintegrate if Zamboni isn't tap dancing. Breadsticks have 112% of their profits from toothbrushes. I suspect most of those are actually soap bubbles. It seems like the spaghetti is unraveling toward a massive piñata explosion any minute now.

This whole thing is going to collapse. The debt. China situation. Taiwan situation. Xi was seen once in the past 4 weeks.Either Xi is seriously incapacitated because of the stroke or Xi is preparing for something big in Taiwan when US is busy in Ukraine and Israel. The Chinese Communist Party may collapse soon if Xi is not functioning. Broadcom has 50% of revenues from China. I think most of those are fake revenues. It appears everything seems to be building up to a big blow off soon.

It's in their contracts.

So what? Contracts at Bcom don’t mean anything.

"Any news about Tanzu on this? Apparently I was told that in Tanzu we don't even do performance reviews as the bonus will be in any case 0 or just a bit above..."

Told by who? A troll on here? Of course Tanzu is getting bonuses. It's in their contracts. Nobody from inside Tanzu has been told they're not getting bonuses.

I got a rock

Any news about Tanzu on this? Apparently I was told that in Tanzu we don't even do performance reviews as the bonus will be in any case 0 or just a bit above...

I'm a corporate wh--e. Bring on the RSU's.

The scam leaders are just lending their names to this illegitimate Private Equity operation. Doing nothing more. Just collect the RSUs and watch from the sidelines. Just look at bugs all day and all night.

Looks like the scam high caste leaders want to regain some legitimacy by circulating some crazy shiiittt story. I would tell the manager to take that number and shove it in their rear end. Then roll up all the numbers all the way to the top until the high caste scam leaders rear ends expllllllloooooode. Everyone knows hokey doesn't care a shiiiiittt for these scam leaders and their ratings. Layoffs are strictly done by AI. That is why we use google office suite. That is how google does it. Strictly based on AI. No human intelligence needed.

So when is the individual informed of their rank?

When you do, or do not, get fired. That's the best way to tell.

So when is the individual informed of their rank? I haven't heard anything but want to know when I might.

who gives a sh-t :) bring it on

Most happened weeks ago but not all. If your manager was impacted already, they may not have submitted a ranking but may have been asked to think about it. If your manager is still here, they will submit the stack ranking next week. Similarly, they will be ranked by their manager. It's a business decision to reduce more headcount, not personal even if it feels like it is. Performance is not necessarily a factor as revenue, timing and consolidated coverage are a factor. i.e. can your role be covered or split among others to meet the business needs. It doesn't mean a 20% cut is coming to each department though. Some might be deeper, some lighter. You and your peers will be numbered and the coming cut will be bottom up, and the size of the cut will be determined later but likely before fiscal year end. i.e. It could be all 3's, stop within the 3's, or extend into the 2's by department.

The full team will be numbered
10% will be in group 1
70% in 2
20% in 3

Let us have only 0.15, 0.25 and 0.5 buckets. Stock price needs to increase.

Didn't this happen weeks ago?

I was told I am in 1 bucket ~3 weeks ago.
