Man, on this forum you are always dissing your VP boss as a drunkard. I bet around him you are a doormat.

Amazing. Discussions about misbehavior by certain EUC VPS are removed from bulletin boards; those responsible for misbehavior are not asked to stop. Was working remotely this week, was so refreshing to be away. Now have to deal with stack rank list for impending developer layoffs on West Coast.

EUC desktop is definitely led by indian frat brats; spoilt boys and girls.

As a frat alumni, all of EUC is not a frat. In mobile team, we are very principled and have wide diversity in top leadership roles. We respect our teams and have true agile mindset.

EUC desktop is an ochlocracy by observing behaviors and feedback from more inviolved colleagues.

Employees in USA, EU & China should move to a different BU or at least to EUC Mobile. This branch of VMware has really screwed up management hierarchy. And there is no accountability imposed by senior VP.

GSS TSE role in Colorado and Ireland for many EUC products is being shoved overseas. GSS management is under constant pressure to cut even more. Does anyone know how many have been affected?

First jobs were moving to Cork and now moving from Cork to Bangalore and Cairo. Earning money, legally or illegally, is all that matters to the greedy management in corporate America. God bless all against unscrupulous and immoral corporate leadership.

Seems like cuts in Ireland and Colorado coming in May/June. Get ready for the great Dell takeover.

If GSS management thinks this will be anything other than a tremendous sh--show it is just a testament to their poor leadership. I hope you are ready for a ton of escalations, pissed off customers and a mass exodus of the remaining TSEs when they are fed up with 50+ SRs.

"masked from Dell" means that Dell is hiring people to do VMware's GSS work. You don't seen VMware Cairo jobs but you seen Dell Cairo jobs for VMware support.

What does masked from Dell mean?

Still no mention of the VMware Airwatch office in Milton Keynes, UK. It must be a safe site as dell are moving some office staff to the location. It's a good office so will be kept on. We have been here years now and Airwatch and workspace one are amazing apps. Mobility is the way the world is turning. Airwatch makes a nice big figure compared to other products and has less issues

London will get impacted more to get rid of the dead wood.
