The following is from Block & Files ..... An Hitachi Vantara spokesperson confirmed the job cuts had affected “various departments and locations around the world” but said the numbers affected were “much smaller than the number you mentioned”.

  • The number is 900. Doesn’t sound much smaller to me. Hitachi V must be using a fuzzy calculator these days.

Interesting. Any indication who they’ll bring in to lead Digital Solutions in Jan? Someone already within Hitachi, or an outsider (eg from Cognizant)? My money is on the latter.

Well, if GK is saying that the employees don’t want to come back to the office, then why are you keeping the expensive real estate office space that lays vacant. You can blame everything on COVID but you don’t have a plan to deal with it. I find it interesting that he drops the name Vantara to simply V. This is another indication of wasted resource and money to change the name only to drop it a few years later. Not sure what GK’s plan is nor does his people. VSP 5000 software only?? Is he referring to a cloud based VSP (IAAS)? I’m tired of the elevator talk BS.
