Thread regarding VMware Inc. layoffs

VMware braces for another round of layoffs, starting June 1.

VMware (VMW) and EMC(EMC) are slimming down as they prepare for their impending acquisition by Dell, which has also been cutting costs. Many of the top execs are leaving Dell amidst the rumors of change in strategy and direction the group together will take.

Last weeks' rumors of VMware's CEO Pat Gelsinger stepping down have been quashed but also raised new concerns among some of the top brass in the company to take graceful exit. With VMware's vSphere losing market share, the likelihood of upcoming cuts...

Lots of legacy companies cutting. Rumor is Oracle just let go of 25% of their salesforce last week.

Of course, we trust you. Mr. Zero Truth.

And explain me what makes you so legit, is it your Anonymous posting or is something else.

It's a forum, people post here, some are affected and some not. and how are you Mr. Know-it-all?

Are you Omnipresent at all VMware locations or are you one of the Management puppies who knows everything that goes in sh-- hole.

I have seen companies use surveys to various personnel for 10-15 minutes to provide feedback and opinions on the business, leadership and tools. In come cases companies use these to figure out who gets cut... I hope VMware doesn't do this...

They should cut out the morons driving around PA in their amg mercedes. For those of us that are actually doing the hard work behind the scenes, we should not be having this kind of stress. I swear, this has been the best and worst experience working for VMW. I do not feel as though I am compensated enough as it is, and now I have to stress about finding a new job. Then there are the white uneducated men that take credit for the hard working Asian employees with educations. Those are the ones that should be cut, they are overpaid for talking bullshit. I work hard and am under compensated. At this point, I will fill out a resume, but I am hoping I don't get laid off. I work too hard and have my kids to support. People that are excessively flashy and not doing any real work and taking credit for other's work at this company should be let go. PERIOD.

the workstation and fusion jobs were eliminated in palo alto but shifted to china.

this is done with sanjay poonen loudly and proudly saying "best team ever!" you should have been at his euc all-hands meeting.

his euc bu, a tiny piece of the company, has more vps than other bu's combined. poonen hands out vp titles to all his cronies.

Losers... Just prepare your resumes and go if you are feeling so insecure..and checking if you are getting the pink slip.

Poor performers will get kicked for sure.

Not sure why mgrs are dragged into everything.. It's our job to do the right thing. Those who cry favoritism are the worst losers.
