Thread regarding VMware layoffs

So thankful for RSUs and Hock Tan

Total compensation is double what is was at VMware when you include RSUs. This is the life. Another 400 shares in 2 weeks. :)

Someone who cares could grow the business, not just harvest the easy picking

And what planet are your on?

Wake up and smell the Wall St. coffee.

Money extracted, people’s lives - who gives a F.

Find a new job if this isn’t your moral compass or you are in BS role at VMware, like customer satisfaction.

Are you satisfied customers paid us below market rate to run their data center? Paid us what we deserve. F these “poor a-s” Fortune 500 companies that spend more on total cr-p like elaborate offices vs paying the company that keep the lights on for their core biz. Yea; let’s have a staring contest on that shall we.

God bless hock, taking the these companies to task. Pay or leave. Your choice, no harm no foul.

Time will tell which strategy brings in more money.

It won't though. Octane will make a boatload of money and will be hailed as a hero. The money left on the table is invisible. He's not maximizing value, he picking low hanging fruit. Someone who cares could grow the business, not just harvest the easy pickings.

VCF Sales here. Made ~$800K last year and before the acquisition closed as customers rushed to purchase before Hock jacked everything up. Glorious time!

You have to survive long enough to get your RSUs. Very few survive long enough.

Was getting about 580k under vmware. With uncle hock, hit that in about 8 months. But the BS that surrounds the job was just not worth it, so I asked for the package. So, if you are in a good position where everything is rosy, yeah , stay and milk it. Otherwise, nothing is free, you are paying for it one in one form or another.

After all is taxed you’re down to $35k * 4 so you’re base salary must be dog low if that doubles your salary
