Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Is it a coincidence?

I'm sure there's a logical explanation, but it sure seems weird that a PE who joined 10 years ago and never wrote any code has become 'unemployed by choice' shortly after being asked to start writing code and then proving, without any doubt, an inability to do so at a level beyond rank amateur.

The minions spawend by the PE are still around. So, I guess the legacy lives on. The shiiittt keeps flowing. All the shiiitttt that is added to the product will live on. Even though no customers use that shiiiitttt. These shiittt people have no work these days. They are not endlessly talking in design reviews for some requirement that someone came up with and someone else proposed a solution. They can just keep secretly working on the shiiiittt that they produced.

That mother fu---r has amateur skills. I've been hiding out for 15 years waiting to get axed. Resting and vesting my whole career, bonus after bonus, but who really gives a sh-t? The goal is to get paid.

Management fooled for 10 years? Then management should be re--rded. And they are still running the company? This is just a short term PE circus. Just extract money from customers for a couple of years and shut this place down. Nothing is more indicative of the future of this company.

what the hock is going on here?

It seems a loud poser with a delicate ego pretending to be a high level software developer was able to fool vmware management for 10 years while not doing any work. The PE has suddenly and unusually quietly left the company.

Online, they continue to pretend to be a high level developer, and claim they quit by choice, because one should never stay at a company too long.

Slumdogs have won. High priests are on high alert.

It appears that the state will have to rule without the church. In state vs church it seems the church lost out. We will miss the drama though.

Now that the high priest is gone, what happens to the religion? Are we condemned to burn in he-l?

Dell couldn't hide his ecstasy when the deal was announced.

I could see the cüm stains on the couch when he joined the call from his yacht for the acquisition announcement.

You mean the slumdog millionaires need to be blamed for this? What the hock. Dell couldn't hide his ecstasy when the deal was announced. Unbeliveable that slumdogs are still around.

Always recursively blame up, because management is where the buck stops.
If management doesn't fix problems, ask why?
Is management facilitating, or unable to see the scam?

Who let these dogs out. The psychopaths. Who let them ruin the company and product for a decade? This is a sign that there is no hope. Just collect the dough and leave. The products are all bloatware with multiple copies of the same freeware bundled up. This is the epitome of crony capitalism in the west. The pinnacle of rot. The swamp.

Do they take their pile of 3rd hand books that they bought for $1 along with them,

For someone who repeatedly claimed to have dyslexia, they had a surprising number of books books on complicated subjects.

Was the dyslexia claim fake, the books a prop, or both?

did they just leave them for the cleaners to throw in the dumpster?

The ones they cannot use to virtue signal at another company have been left behind.

Let them eat cake. This is the state of the high caste leaders and their PEs. Less said the better. Waste of electrons.

Never seen a comment on a code review or a comment on a critical bug. A code commit is so far gone. Just talk talk talk talk in meetings.

Can't believe these people have been faakkking Dell and EMC for so long. The place is a nucleaar toxic dummpstaar fire. Drama queens. No wonder those products seem like from the 80s. Whaaat a joke. Customers have to pay 4x for this cr-p now. These people did no work and did not let anyone do any work. The entire company has been seeded with this fakery DNA by these PeeEees. No way this company can recover from this. You need a top to bottom wipe the slate clean.

The gravy train ends when you're asked to concretely contribute in addtion to the constant melange of verbal nonsense and self idoltry.

When you have excess employees, some will hide as Coach. When you are lean, everyone gotta contribute.

Coding jobs will be absolute since all codes are available in Google.

There will still be jobs for editors, though cheap media have already fired them and gone to 'AI'.

I believe the word you want is 'obsolete', not absolute.
(And yes, you can correctly extrapolate this to mean that coding jobs that require actual logic and big picture views will not be obsolete.)

Line of code is liability to a company. Coding jobs will be absolute since all codes are available in Google. There will be more of "code assembler" jobs who knows how to search code and assemble it using search engines. Even this task will be done by trained AI bots in third world countries for $5/Hr.
