I did forgot to mention this. Before the announcement of the layoffs, the execs from ISBU - Manager and above did go for a VMware party booked at the Exec Suite at the Oracle Arena to see the Warriors play Houston rockets on the 18th of Jan. The Management was taken from the Bauer bus from Prom A and Prom C parking lot and had a blast at the game. I heard that here was so much partying that they did not get a chance to see the warriors play.
Well, at least they were celebrating the "cutting" costs and saving their jobs.
