Getting rid of perks is not the answer to keeping jobs. There is a fundamental issue with the core of this company. This won't be the last round of layoffs. I'd expect another one same time next year, if not later this year, because as the company is... — read more 

I left a few months back and now use Amazon aws on a daily basis. There is no comparison to an on premise solution. For 80% of the workloads, Amazon beats anything on prem in terms of delivery time and if you are careful cost. This is one of those... — read more

Q4 end is 4/30. 4/30 - 3/1 = 61 days. If they send out the notices on 3/1, this would give everyone full benefits (not just partial month), provide 60 days of termination notice before Q4 end, and also would fall within what GK promised the market on... — read more 

May the odds be in your favor!

Check out this post (on this NetApp page on layoffs.com) - it was posted on 1/28/2016 and it states that a 15% reduction is coming - many of us knew this - here is the link: @FFW9gVo

About three weeks ago, a recruiter told me that "at least a 10% layoff" would be announced on the same day they reported earnings. I have no idea how he knew that, but he was spot on.

Nutanix has been poaching from West Coast sales. They pay each employee $7,500 per placement.

I am sorry that you have to go through another round of job cuts - I am not with NetApp any more but I was a contractor there a few years back and I truly liked the team overall. I had a chance to convert to FT, but I always felt that the product was... — read more 

Too many bosses, redundant layers of management, decision making paralysis - what can you expect? Layoffs will continue forever here, really I do not see any bright future and will be moving on on my own... Good times are over, you can save that free... — read more

Ouch. 500+ let go today at NetApp. 3rd time in 2 years. Will that fix what is wrong with NetApp?

I think almost 1000 were let go, given our relatively big size (12K+ employees) this is not an earth-shuttering cut, but it was felt throughout the organization as each of us knew at least one person who got cut. Now, 2015 will be even more... — read more
