VMware grew from 14,000 to 27.000 or 90% (FTE & contractors) from 2013 to 2016. Revenue only grew 20-30%. Senior management took their eye off the ball and over hired. Now the rank and file are paying for their lack of planning or knowledge on how to run a large company. More layoffs to come for sure as headcount and revenue figures are still out of whack by industry standards.

Within 90 days of the deal closing. Start looking. You've been warned.
get a grip buddy...your numbers aren't even remotely close.
They've to cut down more to survive. More to come in April I guess
Yup, expect a 50% cut within 1-2 years. Should be enough to keep the stock price above water.
