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

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

Whatever the reasons behind his departure, from where I sit Dallas was one of the few senior leaders who seemed to genuinely understand how sales at NetApp needs to function — how the field, partners, customers and internal teams actually need to... — 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?

George Kurian's legacy won't be maybe hitting $10B in revenue at some point. His legacy, along with Beth O'Callahans, will be constant layoffs and total decimation of the NetApp culture that had been built over the years. Beth's legacy will be the... — read more

Did anyone who got impacted recently managed to get their RSUs vested sooner as part of the package?

Anyone had NetApp admit they made a mistake getting rid of you and asked you to come back to the same role as if you never left? Didn't happen to me, but curious of others had it happen?

The answer is always yes. The questions that should be asked now are when and how many.

When is the last date to return the laptop? Is there a strict deadline? Still haven’t returned it because I didn’t get a box from ups yet.

NetApp’s financial performance is much better than past years. Will they be generous to pay bonus to laid off people? If anyone gets it, please share

Who else is diasspointed with their thrive rewards?

i got let go May 19. still can't find a job. not surprise. According to NetApp, they will continue to pay 3-4 months of Health Insurance before July 18, but need to enroll or sign up before July 18. They never mentioned how to enroll or any link... — read more
