Omnissa reneged on the quarterly bonus owed to the staff in Costa Rica and are making them sign day1 contracts. Omnissa have lost up to half their customer base already. They are deploying full racist equity in the company, finding ways to cut... — read more 

It appears the corporate clowns or an agent of theirs shows up every couple of days on the layoff.com and zeros out every upvoted negative post against Broadcom. It also appears they counter post and post id--t nonsensical posts to bury other posts... — read more

Change is inevitable when organizations merge, but you don't take tens of thousands of trained and certified customers and partners and kick them to the curb by making everything they have worked toward irrelevant. Ki-ling one the most valuable... — read more 

Total compensation is double what is was at VMware when you include RSUs. This is the life. Another 400 shares in 2 weeks. :)

A bunch of middle and snr managers thought that they knew how to run a business after they had been sitting on their as--s collecting paychecks for simply breathing. Newsflash, you’re all going to be UNEMPLOYED

Firing our SVP and VP sales leaders hasn't stopped the decline. Nothing changed. We still have no plan to resolve the revenue shortfall. What now? More layoffs are expected to cut our bloated operating costs.

Heard a rumor that the last gss folks working remotely are being told relocate to CO? Anyone else hear about this ?

What’s the status of cleared BC employees waiting to transfer to Omnissa due to no FSO?

I was let go today in the Cork EMEA office. I'm gone in around 4 weeks time. Best of luck to anyone else let go today. Bad timing just before Christmas.

Worst ever pay raise ever in my career last year. No pay raise this year. Meanwhile cost of living is sky rocketing. I guess Omnissa really don’t care about keeping people. It’s obvious this is to make people leave without having to pay severance... — read more 

We knew this was coming, it's now here. Amer pso is shifting to partners. I recently saw the slides w the plan. Will be reducing headcount over coming quarters, moving delivery to partners. The most recent RIF established the management structure... — read more 

Actually it was around 10 or so, and it was for performance. How bad do you have to be to lose your job during transition, when the company is least able to monitor individual performance?

If we were to lay off all of them the company wouldn't even feel it. What's their point, anyhow?

Did VMware leadership ever do a land acknowledgement in an all-hands or anywhere else?

It certainly took me a while, but I finally figured out what I don’t want in a career. A toxic work environment and 70+ hour weeks (at best) aren’t worth any promotion. Some things matter more than money and titles. I feel so much better accepting... — read more 

I really consider myself lucky to be part of a great team - we stick together and deliver good results. Having a good team can make a huge difference

As I am no longer with VMware, just wondering how the event was this year

I left VMware early on the Broadcom debacle; I knew it was a ticking time bo-b despite the sweet talk from executives. I left and I am better off but what surprises is all my VMware connections seemingly struggling to find the next place in my feed... — read more 

Over 200 employees are fired.

Anybody hearing rumors about the future of Tanzu? April keeps coming up as the end date.

It's been very quiet on quiet quitting lately. Did all of you suddenly realize that not doing your job properly isn't such a good idea after all and could cost you your employment?

I'm a remote employee who is prepared to su-k it up and embrace RTO. However I've been told the nearest BC office is already full. (Aside > I've been there several times and I see lots of open desks) Many weeks ago my manager helped me submit a... — read more

This is a master thread about VMware layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

What is the RSU conditions? If i accept the new contract, and RSU' are granted in December 2024, will that mean i will get all the mentioned amount vested in 2028? Please serious comments !!

If I could volunteer for it, I'd happily do it. I'm beyond tired of this place.

Hock's HR and IT team's use of an AI bot to ZERO-out TheLayoff.com posts is pitiful.

... he has now managed to tank Intel and get it kicked out of the Dow index after 25 years. It still makes me laugh with scorn at what an overrated charade he was at VMW.

VCF just laid off many. Does anyone know when Velo will start making its cuts now that it is a stand alone company?

Its so hard to focus here. The constant change, reorgs, adjustments. I'm so worried about getting RIFd. Anytime my boss changes the time for our 1 on 1, it scares the cr-p out of me. I'd feel better if I knew the job market was better, but so... — read more 

Mrs Ruelas just got fired from Omnissa after two quarters of terrible sales. Who is next?

You know things are getting messy when I’m being asked to take on tasks I’ve never done before and wasn’t trained for, all on top of my regular work. I said no and told them if they want to fire me for it, go for it. I don't even care anymore. My... — read more 

Looks like KKR is finally realizing how low the numbers really are and heads are rolling at the top sales level... This only means layoffs are right around the corner.
