Multiple internal sources confirm a layoff the second week of November. Early next week. Don't plan on working to hard the next few days. What a shameful company this is.
Targets are US support and engineering teams. Managers received the commands today.
@16g you've hardened yourself against the really terrible state we all face. it shouldn't be as bad as we have all come to expect. lets all demand better
@15n its unfettered capitalism. its awful. don't know where you live. but voting is the only small thing i feel i can do.
@19t You can call out toxic work culture without the xenophobia. Toxic leadership has no nationality. Stop using cheap stereotypes. It just exposes your own insecurity about competing with Indian talent
Thanks Jensen
@19t I take flexible time off whenever I want to. PTO isn't a negotiation. Time off isn't a question. It's a statement. If you're working yourself to the bone for this company, don't. They don't give two sh--s about you and will lay you off as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
George, his team and the board have gutted what made this company great. I've been here decades and it has been horrible seeing my senior technical peers get laid off. Coasting and waiting for the day I'm RIF'd as well. You should do the same.
"Pure projecting 7+ Bil 2027.... pure has mandatory 5 days a week in office policy, so maybe netapp should consider this as is seems to be working at Pure."
Absurd take. Thinking that management isn't the problem, and that the employees just need to be manipulated more is bananas.
Not every tech company. The difference is netapp is the worst of the worst. It is now run like an Indian sweatshop company. Long hours, weekends, begging for PTO, work vacations, and no respect for the people getting the job done.
@15n brother it’s every tech company. Don’t get your emotions up in a bunch.
The main post had it off by a week.
D-Day is next Tuesday. Buckle up sh--s about to get bumpy.
This is a miserable place to work. Every six months everyone is threatened with losing our jobs. Why does netapp management think fear of losing my job will get the most out of me. Does anyone else feel this way?
@151 Yup, cause they will have to inform their own staff that they are sc--wed. Standard line "Your position has been eliminated, here is your exit package. Sign here by end of day or you get zippo. Your access is cut as of COB. Don't let the door slam you a-s on the way out - Next!!!"
@11a same. Do managers only get the meeting if their teams are impacted or do they all get it?
@wx I see the "Private Appointment" meeting on my manager's calendar next Monday at that time so I'm inclined to believe you.
Pure projecting 7+ Bil 2027.... pure has mandatory 5 days a week in office policy, so maybe netapp should consider this as is seems to be working at Pure.
Are we at $10 billion yet? I noticed the banner when browsing to this site for Netapp:
Revenue information:
Approximately 6.3 Billion USD (as of 2014)
As of FY reported 4/30/2026: 6.93 Billion
WOW! Why is George and his band of flunkies still here? Amazing.
The self-preservation of the worthless VPs and directors will be clearly evident in this round. Compare the org charts when this one is over and you will see......
@wk historical data suggests next Tuesday if it will happen before then. Managers or next level will attend a meeting with HR Monday before at 8am Pacific.
It will happen before Thanksgiving
@sd likely BS. Zero normal historical indicators are in play.
So is it happening this week? Or bs rumors like multiple others?
Lol, do you think your party cares about you ? You are a insect on windshield for them.
@pz tell us you're a cult member without saying you're a cult member.
how short sighted would it be to impact emea with sovereign looming. At least the European gov is looking out for it's people. Last Tuesday America voted out their chance at sovereignty and retaining jobs, bye bye America's support, hello India.
@mx are they replacing US with india support? I thought only emea
Exactly what NTAP's customers want when they call for help. More AI and Indian support..... Let's see how this plays out after a quarter or two. Oh wait, I forgot at NTAP only next quarter matters.
It’s all about the culture! Any rumors of sales being hit?
Netapp announces it's new solution targeting AI workloads just in time for the AI bubble to burst. Classic.
Please pick me
Better they choose me to leave. I cannot work so many hours and weekend. No life, not worth it
