I used to be proud to work for this company, but I’m afraid there is no salvation for it anymore. VMWare is soon to be a dinosaur. The management (what’s left) doesn’t have a clue. They focus on SJW c-ap, the environment and any and everything... — read more 

Hi, I’m new to VMware and just heard from a colleague that there are no merit increases? Is this true? Any suggestions or tips on an equity distribution and raise?

Who will own and run VMware? This blog shows frequent layoffs and departing leadership. Someone is nipping away?

This place has made sure that anybody who tries to stand out gets punished by receiving additional work and nothing else. No pay increases, no bonuses, no promotions, nothing. So why would anybody even bother at this place anymore? I certainly know... — read more 

Management said that a goal is for VMware to be a networking company. Is VMware viewed as a networking company? What will it take for VMware to be seen as a networking company?

Fy21 just ended and now if somebody leaves in like March, will VMware still pay bonus of FY21 which gets issues in April mid?

My question is: will we ever have better products? As long as they keep building complex, fragile products that don’t integrate well, and keep blowing their cash on botched acquisitions, no amount of shuffling the deck is going to change... — read more 

I’m not sure anymore. After the last round of layoffs I’ve been question on whether to stick it out or jump ship. When layoffs are the only solution that can be found to solve the issues this company has, it becomes obvious how inept upper... — read more 

VMWare‘s sales leadership are so clueless! They make org changes instead of addressing the actual underlying issues. Sorry VMWare executives, moving people around just for the sake of moving them won’t solve your problems. Try actually addressing the... — read more 

I’m mgr from NSX - 1-1 scheduled for today.. sleepless nights!! Anyone received 1-1?

I can enjoy my weekend without worrying more layoffs are coming next week?

With all the layoffs we've been having lately - and sometimes it feels like they're never ending - there's no winning whether you are laid off or not. If you are laid off, you're out of a job. If you are not, you get to pick up extra work for no... — read more 

haven't heard anything today of people getting laid off, has anyone else?

Is it just me, or does it seem that people who were laid off are leaning toward the fifty and over category?

Are you really telling me that the company isn't capable of doing these layoffs in a day or two and has to drag them out throughout the entire week? Why? There's no good reason for it. And it's certainly not doing any favors to employees. We are... — read more 

Does anyone know how does the act of communication that one is being laid off happen? Who notifies you and how do they tell you? How long the meeting lasts?

Usually we hear more by now, but this time it's mostly quiet. I'm wondering if this is one of the smaller rounds and the worst is yet to come.

Someone posted on this board a couple of days ago claiming to have first-hand information about large layoffs hitting NSBU as early as February, and that the extent of the layoffs could be 3-5X larger then the ones we’ve had last year. If those... — read more

You can leave, but its gonna cost you.

Everyone keeps telling me that I "have to transition to Clould"... I am not even sure how to start. I've been doing VMware for about six years now. Any advice would be greatly appreicated.

Make a prediction and tell us what you think about VMware Layoffs 2021? Any news or rumors?

This is very scary. Even though the market overall is down but all of a sudden, vmw stock lost ground much faster than the market. In 3 days, 17% down at a very bad time. Nov and Dec are the months to “reorganize” essentially prepare the lay off... — read more

Can someone guess the Datrium acquisition price based on finance statement. Really curious.
