Thread regarding VMware layoffs

High Value HR communication

Hey, folks, listen! I have a great idea! Let's send an e-card to everyone from HR telling them that we appreciate there hard work! This will boost morale and show that we mean BUSINESS, and that their contributions have not gone unnoticed.

Shanana, shut up. It will originate from a 3rd party. This will look like spam or a phishing attempt. It's s stupid idea. The employees will see it for the low-effort bisonfaeces that it is.

....

Betsy approved! I'm sending it!

I didn’t get an e-card, I got a rock.

Guaranteed the person that came up with the idea, makes over $200K a year, and they see this as their biggest contribution to the company for the year. They probably held several 1 meetings, with at least 5 other contributors, before finally sending it. VMware at its wasteful finest!

The sincerity and generosity of the ecard almost brought me to tears.

Of laughter. What a crock o' cr-p!

I hate this company and what they did to us. Everyone that’s left is mostly woke or stuck. I am stuck. Pat knew what he was doing when he left- and karma is making amends to his wokeness. I am out of here shortly and won’t have to deal with paranoid silent quitters. I would say good luck but I have integrity.

Ha ha ha. As soon as I got that email today I was like....Oh I'm not falling for this again! External source reported!

I didn't report it but I didn't click the link either. Now I need to go see what this e-card is all about....

I did see that.
Honestly thought a colleague had called me out for doing good work.

Read it and was so disappointed

Contributions clearly gone unnoticed in the promo cycle. Will this ecard replace that? We are not falling for this trap anymore

Being from an external source and also providing a link to an external source, I reported it as phishing. I immediately received a reply saying it was a legitimate email. Security must be getting flooded with these.
