What's Happening at Hitachi Vantara?
Neil, once a rising star from NetApp, has been let go after failing to control some of his more base impulses—how embarrassing.
Sheila seems to be convincing herself that all is well at the company, but while the market expands, we seem to be shrinking.
Our engineering is in decline. Products are lagging, and customers are bearing the brunt of poor stability and inadequate support.
A number of talented individuals were let go, taking with them critical knowledge that’s now painfully absent. Our technical support has become a farce, understaffed and led by a leadership still stuck in a 20th-century mindset. Oliver and his inner circle seem utterly adrift.
There are also whispers of an upcoming support reorganization, with more senior staff on the chopping block. It’s likely that regions showing decent results—LATAM, Asia, and Europe—will be the ones hit, despite outperforming the domestic divisions.
And what about Uncle Joe? Does he even have a plan? If he does, we should have heard about it by now.
