Even tho I have 5000+ unvested RSUs (and they probably will never vest anyway) I feel happy to see downfall of this trash company. Even with so many layoffs, wall street knows they can't expect any innovation from us, but only cost reduction

When all is said and done, those employees that have made and continue to make VMware by Broadcom successful in spite of itself will eventually get canned , and the shareholders will make huge profits considering the change necessary optimization. ... — read more 

Absolute disaster of an all hands yesterday. Division leader no show to discuss lay-offs. Other leads wanting to crack jokes. It’s not a nice place to work anymore. A pure clown show.

Does anyone else think this is the worst role at VMW? Nothing like having management that does not understand how sales work and only worried about forecasts.

Hi folks in EMEA, is there a way to request voluntary separation agreement? If this helps, I am in Sofia.

I hear that for the next few rounds of layoffs, will be targeting remote workers. Has anyone heard similar stories?

I remember when people tried to convince us that we'd be good if we survived the initial, post-acquisition culling. That worked out really well, didn't it?

a lot of the SDE division being layed off currently across US and emea. APJ to come? Upper management and execs silent of course and haven’t explained their rash decision (outside the obvious cost saving reason). Can anyone comment their region... — read more
