Some of you just get your rocks off lying on this website

You really think one is capable of making this crâp up!?

It happened. I was there. Ask any Tanzu folks.

“Delayed reorg”

Delayed reorg, announced but no details.

I can’t think of a worse way to deliver such news.

Reorgs wull come with layoffs since this reorg is merging product silos into “functional areas” and there is redundancy.

Hock will smash, as is his want.

Layoffs are going to go on for a while. We aren’t launching a spaceship to Io with a small time window.

This is like the fable of the blind men and the elephant. Depending on your Geo and BU your world view is different.

Revenue per employee may guide the final number. I suspect the target is around 1.5 million dollars per employee.

New quarter and new transition budget opened up. Someone keeps bringing up 7000. I think they are going with the Twitter 80% layoff and 20% remaining. 7000 is 20% of 35000. I think Hock is targeting for 10%. Thats what happened to VMC. So, each BU will be chopped one per quarter and ultimately it will be 10% of BU retained. They will hire HCL contractors if needed after that 90% cut. Standard operating procedure.
