Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Cork office attendance causes an interesting dilemma, doesn't it?

On the coffee talk today, Our Glorious Leader shared the RTO attendance numbers per region and per office.

We all know the "Line of doom" is 70%, which most offices did meet. Cork? 39%.

Read that again. Cork is at 39% compliance with the RTO mandate.

So what exactly is Hock going to do? If Cork was close, he could just keep the threats going, tell the they are near the line and kick the can down the road. But they aren't close. They aren't close at all.

It forces Hock to either actually do what he promised and close the office, which would be a major blow to GS and cause a lot of unhappy customers; or he can not close the office and teach everyone that all you have to do is hold out, and he will cave.

I honestly can't decide what he will do. Hock is too much of a businessman to shoot himself in the foot and really close the office. But he's also an egomaniac who can't stand being defied by the little people.

As a follower of Eris, I say godspeed and "Go n-éirí an bóthár leat", Cork. Thank you for your service!

The OPs point is that Hock can't just close an entire office

So funny. What world do you live in.

Rephrase that as “Vladimir Putin can’t just…”

Someone is living in an alternate universe.

Everyone is replaceable.

Did you post in the wrong thread? Because this has nothing to do with the OP.

The OPs point is that Hock can't just close an entire office. Is Hock going to just not support Europe?

How stupid are you? Stop using your feelings too much and start using your logic

Hock hasn’t the ba--s to close Cork. Cork is far far too important. Nothing to see here, please move along.
