Does anyone know the numbers? When will the useless VPs be let go? Totally directionless with no vision.

Omnissa one - terrible feedback
I’m at OMNISSA one and the feedback has been terrible. First hand feedback customers have said it’s not worth the trip. Nothing new, and the AI strategy is trash. A couple customers that have met Kevin norlin asked how he had a job. It’s... — read more
Why more VPs?

No Promotions This Cycle?
From what i'm hearing, there will be minimal if any promotions this cycle. In December the ELT said that performance / merit based reward. Doesn't seem to be the case does it?
Rumors of OMNISSA selling
There are rumors based on things Shankar said that KKR will be selling part of OMNISSA. Could be an interesting next several months. I for one would welcome any opportunity to get out from under this leadership and KKR, both who have proven they have... — read more
Revenue rally was a waste of time
To think that they made some of us travel for this goes to show how clueless they are. Outside of the Microsoft discussion, there was absolutely nothing that we could take into the field and sell. Even the Microsoft discussion is the same old... — read more
SKO
Last August Ruelas and Shanks said there would be a SKO 2025 in Feb, that never happened, yeah they were drunk and acting as clowns. Any ideas when it might happen ;-) …
August layoffs coming soon
Hold on tight, everyone. Another round of layoffs is expected within the next 10 days. The sales numbers are poor, and KKR needs to send people out to make the numbers appear better. The US total sales are in a state of disarray, making layoffs... — read more
Norlin is worthless
Norlin only looks at dashboards and has no clue how to run a sales team or manage a go to market strategy. Hands down the worst sales leader (if that’s what you want to call him) I’ve ever witnessed. Customers, managers and reps don’t respect him. ... — read more
Crickets?
It's almost the end of Q2/H1. Anyone hear anything?
Too Many Cooks

Paypal saw the light and they are pulling the plug. Annual revenue of 30 million dollars gone thanks to our distinguished management who literally have no incling of what they are doing. Tesco are on the verge of pulling the plug too.
August Layoffs

Kevin Norlin looking to avoid severances
Kevin Norlin created quotas that were based on 4-5 times sales reps comp plans, and nothing to do with the customers or territory revenue generation. This has caused many sales people to grow their territory by 300,400, 500% or more growth over the... — read more

Omnissa and IGEL 💩 show
The number of people at the Omnissa booth was absurdly low; as the top sponsor of the event, they couldn’t effectively engage the audience. This incident serves as another stark example of the poor leadership at this company.
No new customers
Nobody wants this legacy tech. There are no fanboys left at the customers. Definitely no new customers. How long left before KKR cuts their loss and what’s left gets sold off so someone can take the s&s and mange the decline? Omnissa X account has... — read more
Is it just me or is everyone sleep this past few weeks?
All crickets in most of the sales teams I know, but what about the rest of the teams? Is everyone just waiting for the next round of layoffs?
Getting rid of Jared is part of the solution
Sales can’t win the competition with a legacy product, disaster modernization, and a lack of innovation. Engineers, SEs, consultants, and many others are exhausted by Jared’s arrogance and lack of respect. A true leader is needed to fix the product... — read more

When will the lies stop
When will the management stop pretending like the big guerrilla is not eating our lunch? When will they ever acknowledge that we are loosing a lot of business to Intune? How many more of these events will where he just pretends everything is roses... — read more
Employee Survey
Why would Kev!n N send out an employee sentiment survey, now?? I can only guess they are trying to fudge results and show this qtr v next qtr. Omnissa has treated everyone in the last qtr like sh!t and the results will be cr-p, so maybe they look... — read more
