Thread regarding VMware layoffs

I was laid off today in the Cork office

I was let go today in the Cork EMEA office. I'm gone in around 4 weeks time.
Best of luck to anyone else let go today.
Bad timing just before Christmas.

Layoffs in Cork continue. No job is safe these days, but there is an even higher risk when working for Broadcom. I was made redundant earlier this year, and it took months to get a new job—the same for many others. Be prepared, send out CVs… the job market is crazy.

Tanzu looks like dead man walking. I'd be surprised if it makes to April '25.

After Trump’s win, India Googles immigration and H1B, Americans on ways to leave the US
Users in India who searched for the phrase legal immigration, also searched for terms like ‘Trump legal immigration,’ ‘legal immigration under Trump’ and ‘Stephen Miller’.

My colleague in Tanzu in Cork was left go a month ago. Seems like slow trickle, no big numbers.

Sick ba----ds. Can't they wait for the holidays to be over?

I have created a cash pile of close to 1.2 mil. I can survive for 10 years. Ba----ds. They can fire me. I am ready.

SMCI is the second largest customer of NVDA apart from Dell that makes the servers with the NVDA graphics/AI cards. SMCI has not filed its annual report from 2 quarters ago. Its 60 day extension has run out today. E&Y resigned as the auditor and declined to certify any of its books.

NVDA Blackwell chip is having heating issues. The nextgen chip is delayed for a few quarters now. Most probably NVDA is also at the end of the road as to its astronomical quarterly growth. Selling to China and Russia through UAE and India has been exposed. Trump will really crack down on this illegal trade.

We are very close to the AI bubble popping. Sell your stocks and build up that emergency fund.

Sorry to hear that. It will continue until the right operational costs are hit unfortunately. Hoping you find something early in the new year.
