Absolutely hate the people that I work with, hate the culture and the toxicity. Doing a lot of half-a-s job everyday, and I am continuously bombarded by some cr-p work just enough to keep me on my toes all the time, this is leaving me with less time... — read more 

Kurian measured on opex and stock price. Employees limit both. Commission plans for next year altered to incent departures without severance.

The more of us will lose their jobs. Except of course King Kurian and his court jesters.

NetApp is currently in a reorganization and silent layoff as they pivot to the new Microsoft led strategy and conversion to Microsoft leadership teams. NetApp existing leadership is being replaced while teams are structured to make the Microsoft... — read more 

Incompetent management, lack of direction, unreasonable expectations, hypocrisy, sloppy assignment planning, lazy individuals who do nothing but deflect blame, and so many other things are the reason why I've decided to move on from NetApp after 8... — read more 

I think the culture at Amazon is cr-p, then began to wonder if NetApp is already there culturewise? I mean if its all about breathing toxic fumes, I might as well do that at Amazon getting pay 1.5x more. Has anyone jumped ship to Amazon and can... — read more 

You can quit if you want. I'll make them pay me if they want to get rid of me.

Like Netflix, earnings are no longer a reason to buy the stock. Like Netflix there are many competitors who are less expensive with equal or better quality. Like Netflix, NetApp has a cult like culture and subscriber base. Like Netflix, NetApp no... — read more 

April first is always the day NetApp fools find out they have been sacrificed for stock price. Hundreds of millions of dollars flow into stock buybacks for Kurian and their executive bonus. Once a best place to work now a worst place to be. So many... — read more 

Fate has it that I have to work at this place, I have been following this forum for a couple of months and always wondered about why this forum is so active. Today is the day I realize - I am not gonna say all the things that were already said. But... — read more 

It took a few weeks for the knot I felt in my stomach each day before work to go away, but now I'm free of it and fully stress-free for the first time in ages. I've finally accepted that if my work is causing me mental anguish, I need to leave. I... — read more 

Work is horrendous, so is the culture. Most of the work involves dealing with toxicity in the company, Expected to work day in and day out - can't even move out now. so, I guess the plan is to work your a-s off, wait to get laid off and then start... — read more 

It's funny how unwilling senior management is to consider input from lower-level workers - the exact people who do the work and who know exactly what needs to change and how to improve processes. There are ways to cut costs that don't involve... — read more 

What do we know so far?

Today, it reminded me of the series Silicon Valley which used to be extremely funny during its initial seasons. So many events that happened today make me wanna believe that most execs haven't seen that series - LOL

I am shocked by the amount of talent that has been layed off or are now at other companies. The entire financial services team in NYC has been replaced. Most left for VAST. The product owner for Storage Grid also left for VAST. George Kurian has... — read more 

Basically, I’m talking about this company through my personal experience here, which has been influenced the most by my manager - in a bad way. Maybe I would have a different opinion about NetApp if I had a better manager. Anyway, let’s just say I... — read more 

Unfortunately, I think NetApp will never, or at least not in the near future, have any relevance in the cloud world. And perhaps this company could be relevant in the cloud, only if our leadership had a little more vision, right?

With rising interest rates and everyone's spending dwindling, I can only see everything going down from here on. Fed doesn't have any other way to combat inflation, they will have to raise interest rates, in which case, companies like Google, Amazon... — read more 

If you think your job can't be offshored, think again! You are too expensive. Unless you're willing to work for pennies, they don't want you. It's as simple as that.

I got an offer after only a month of looking for a new job. To be fair, not all things are ideal here, but it is possible to grow a skillset and gain solid technical knowledge, and then it is easier to find a better opportunity. Are you satisfied... — read more 

I mean it seriously. All the skills you can get here you will get in one year, and if you decide to stay longer, you will just be wasting you time. At least that's the case with me and I'm terribly sorry I didn't leave much earlier. Maybe there are... — read more 

Most companies are worried about the great resignation and frantically looking for ways to keep the best talent but not us. Nope. This leadership is overjoyed that people are leaving and not forcing them to pay them severance. This works perfectly... — read more 

I hear a lot of rumors about layoffs, but I still don’t know anyone who was laid off. Have the cuts already started? Who is the target? How big will the layoffs be? Please spill the beans. I am more anxious than ever because getting cut is the... — read more 

Layoffs happening soon in cloud insights division

I left a little over a year ago for lower pay. I already managed to make up for a difference thanks to a recent increase and bonus. To say leaving paid off would be an understatement. I'm happy and enjoy my work once again. I know it may seem scary... — read more 

It's not worth it anymore. Why even pretend to care anymore when our hard work is rewarded by low pay, no advancement, and no raises (except for the select few, apparently.) There are plenty of companies out there that still value their employees... — read more 

Just stopped by this forum to see what's happening in this company, which I left exactly a year ago. I'm just wondering if anything has changed for the better or do good employees still have to listen to what mediocrities say? I left because of... — read more

It's going to be interesting to see what is said in the global all hands this week considering that the federal contractor mandate is now blocked. Will NetApp push the mandate still or suspend until the matter is resolved in the courts.

What have I gotten myself into? Meetings never end, only a few people are allowed to be funny ( or crack jokes ) in meetings, only a few people are allowed to talk at length in these so-called meetings. Articulate colleagues are mostly mute, maybe... — read more 

Leveraging COVID and vaccinations to avoid overt layoffs. Quite sneaky. Have all the executives and board members been vaccinated? How about if you refuse to visit a customer who can't prove that all their employees have been?

I'm looking forward to layoffs. At this point, I'd rather be laid off than stay in this toxic dump. If there's a way, I'll even volunteer.

If only the deadlines for which I am expected to complete the work were so relaxed. They know how to appreciate only themselves and their time. The fact that I still don't know whether my exemption will be approved or not and that I'm worried... — read more 

Any sense on how many positions will be affected by the Dec 1 HR actions?

King Kurian only cares about the stock price. That translates into more cost cuts and layoffs. Transition off of hardware will result in a company 1/4 the size. Storage Grid will be the first to go since cloud native S3 is a cheaper and more cloud... — read more
