Multiple internal sources confirm a layoff the second week of November. Early next week. Don't plan on working to hard the next few days. What a shameful company this is. Targets are US support and engineering teams. Managers received the commands... — read more 

Heard from multiple sources that its happening this month, just the dates not sure about.

I managed to escape NetApp circus five months ago and haven't missed a single day of it. Let the executives and managers play their little games without me.

I've heard there'll be more cuts this month, does anybody know any details?

Is this office still around or have they moved them all to Bengalore?

Microsoft is offering voluntary buyouts to about 60,000 employees, or roughly one-quarter of its global workforce, as the technology giant invests more in artificial intelligence. So-called voluntary exit offers are available to eligible employees... — read more 

Reminder: two slices per person thank you!

I'm not sure what I hate more: when there are all kinds of rumors going around or when it's completely quiet, and I can't help but think it's the calm before the storm.

Not sure how it hasn't made it here yet but the entire Iceland office has been closed other than a select group of "transition" people. The original forefathers of ANF just wiped out without even an acknowledgement from corporate. Sad times...

Over the past year, George Kurian has sold a total of 59,825 shares of NetApp Inc and has not made any purchases of the stock. The company's insider transaction history reveals a pattern of 33 insider sells and no insider buys over the same period.

It's reasonably safe to assume that if you are on this site you are concerned about the possibility of losing your job in a layoff and judging by many of the comments you are also dissatisfied with working at NetApp. One thing I would offer is to... — read more 

When will the Americas and EMEA support engineers be told that everything is moving to India and get their tiny severance as India and AI will make all of the enterprise customers so happy. rolf lmao.

Hearing there could be some pretty big changes coming to Marketing. New CMO, consultants looking at the org, and apparently a restructure could be on the table. Maybe we’ll finally get back to actually doing marketing instead of throwing money at... — read more 

Hearing more and more chatter that the return-to-office mandate could soon be moving to 4 days a week. Also hearing that VPN activity is being tracked to see when people are connecting remotely vs being in the office — and that use of company AI... — read more 

The people who get promoted fastest are the ones who know how to impress their bosses. Actual expertise and the ability to lead people don't matter much. Sad but very true.

i overheard conversation that either end of Sep or Mid October? from high management. Its from engineering site. anyone can confirm?

THIS AUTUMN… THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER. THE SEARCH. THE SPECULATION. THE SUSPENSE. WHO WILL BE THE NEXT CMO? COMING SOON Only at NetApp.

Stock was crushed because free cash flow is weak. Translation .... no more buildings to sell, not enough free cash anymore to buy back shares, component costs hitting margin, lack of innovation has resulted in stale comiditized products. The only... — read more

People actions happening this week.

Has anyone dealt with COBRA yet? I just got a balance letter in the mail for the full amount, not the 10% (90% is subsidized by NetApp), even after speaking with the NetBenefits rep who said that I would be responsible for only the 10%. What's your... — read more 

I'm only 3 weeks of waiting at this point, but I see folks have been waiting since May and still haven't received it or any word from NetApp. How can we organize and get this in front of some financial reporters?

I am out of town, I have been monitoring my mails (using USPS informed delivery). I have not received any mail. I did not see anything on ADP either. Please share if you have already received severance pay. It will be so helpful!

Is always in November, a week or two before thanksgiving. It’ll happen between now and then.

Still waiting to receive the severance pay! No response or notification from anyone. If you got paid, was it direct deposited or received a check?

Two planned reductions this year. A small one near the end of August and a larger one around Thanksgiving. VPs already know and are choosing which teams will be hit. Directors will hear news about the layoff in the next 2 weeks. Cloud product teams... — read more 

Has anyone received the severance payment yet?

Younger hires are coming in, older ones are going out. And the exits don't look like performance issues. It's a shame how little this place cares about institutional knowledge.

How are posts being deleted on this website? Whatever happened to freedom of speech?

For anyone impacted or just good at sniffing it out, what were the signs major or one off layoff was coming?

As a prior employee who was laid off over a year ago, I have to admit that from a shareholder perspective who was fully vested with ESPP shares for several years, it appears that the moves that NetApp is making has increased my account value... — read more 

Most of the people already working here are trying to escape. Yet somehow, people are still applying. I honestly can't figure out what would make someone want to join this mess. It's a mystery to me.

Some important information is contained in the Attachment A (severance amount, payment method), but it's not in the Severance document to sign.

Wondering when severance is actually paid? Just got my last paycheck before the termination date. Any idea when the documents would be sent and when they would pay out severance?
