I left in January because the environment had become way too toxic, and now a new offer just landed in my inbox. The offer itself looks solid, but I am really unsure about stepping back into a place that pushed me out in the first place. I am hoping... — read more

Those who are looking at the age issue with a class action, is there any room for the stealing of our PTO?

Key Point NetApp did not follow required federal rules for layoffs involving employees over 40. What Went Wrong: The Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA) requires companies to give employees over 40 a written list of: The job titles and... — read more 

Been a loyal NTAP employee for over a decade. I was told to burn my PTO in exchange for all the time off that i wanted. Then you lay me off and keep the $20k that I would have had coming to me if you had not told me to use it ASAP. So glad to... — read more 

Has anybody been notified so far today?

I thought DII was going to be our bread and butter for monitoring, They cut half the team today. I believe other orgs were also impacted.

Just got the call from my boss. Not sure how many other folks are being impacted. Good news is that I still had some old school vacation banked up.

is it the calm bofeore a coming storm? Selfie-king just posted about some org changes. Is that the beginning of a trickle down effect?

I started my career late in life. Been here for 5+ years. I was offered another position with another company. Unfortunately this company has layoffs like many others in our sector. Not sure if I should accept it or just remain here. If you had the... — read more 

Not that I’d be surprised or anything.

Sales; hardware and cloud

Just got the email that the responsibilities of my team are being transitioned to NB and we are expected to facilitate that transition. When discussed with our manager, the focus of the conversion was only on how we can help the NB team come up to... — read more 

Looks like the whole sales team was axed, and some tech support people were laid off too 1 day after the execs flew over from the US to tell us about how they were happy with the work and with the growing headcount. would have been more decent to... — read more 

Rumors are flying, and people are making all kinds of claims. It’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s just noise. Given the trajectory, I wouldn’t be surprised if more cuts are coming, but it would help to know something, anything, so we could at... — read more 

Tell me about the great new FTO policy and tell me to use my month of PTO right before you lay me off. You knew this was coming. Hope my small contribution to your balance sheet helps because it hurts me tremendously. What a low, low, awful thing... — read more 

H2 sales will have its turn

What is the purpose of this survey if not to reduce our benefits ?

For the first time, PSTG’s market cap exceeds NTAP. A competitor half our size and half our age is now worth more than us.

Breaking news it will cost NetApp 100,000 dollars per H1B sponsor now. Kurian will not be happy

before oct ends

Reading these other posts on here. I went out to chatgpt myself. Seems its not legal, not even close to legal in CA, for them to take our earned PTO without compensation. Can we band together and stand up?

I just got a rejection after what felt like weeks of interviews. I have to admit, it’s crushing my confidence when I keep getting so close and then I end up falling short. It makes me question if I’m even doing something wrong or if it’s just the... — read more

End of SEPT, here it comes.

I am talking about real talent, not some QA engineer who had been at the company for 17 years becoming a Sr. Director of a sh---y cloud team talent?

If you are starting your career, NetApp can be a solid place to pick up knowledge for a few years - IF you can avoid being laid off. Most of the engineering team is older, so upward movement is very limited. Promotions are rare and big raises even... — read more 

Are people getting their own lawyers or is there an underground conversation at the sites happening where folks are grouping together with one law firm?

Everyone is always too busy putting out fires to think long term. It's just a big mess.

It finally happened. NetApp has removed real PTO benefits in favor of what is commonly called "unlimited" PTO. This announcement happening just a few quarters after return to office was announced is no coincidence. Leadership is setting the stage for... — read more 

My suspicion is that the company is positioning itself to be acquired. New FTO plan. That will get the unused PTO off the liability side of the balance sheet. This also removes the benefit of being a longer tenured employee. Thus giving... — read more 

The entire banking team was let go today. No revenue growth = more cuts. This Q must be really bad.
