Thread regarding Omnissa layoffs

Death by a thousand cuts

Blackberry, Netscape, DEC, Sun. These titans innovated and did something revolutionary in the tech world. Omnissa is just dying a slow miserable death by a thousand cuts. A mediocre product, with no moat being led into the anonymous abyss by an incompetent clique. Leave the ship while you can.

"A mediocre product, with no moat being led into the anonymous abyss by an incompetent clique."

The short description of what is Omnissa. Not a clique, it's an inept East Asian caste.

When you objectively look at the current UEM & VDI market opportunity, it's obvious why the PE owners of Citrix and Omnissa must reduce the headcount to be profitable. Broadcom decided that the EUC revenue outlook wasn't worth the turnaround effort. I agree, there's been nothing revolutionary or essential about these products from the perspective of a modern CIO. Help desk SysAdmins may disagree, but they're not decision makers on IT budget allocation.

Support is getting so bad inside now that they are getting engineers on the phone who have no training on the products and they are getting support engineers to do sales engineering jobs to demo and flog the rubbish products to customers. Asylum does not even cover how utterly disorganised and incompetent the whole situation is right now. Line managers are now turning their backs on staff because they won't speak out. The situation is just demoralising and hopeless.

@op you must be kidding, those were all iconic companies for there time. Omnissa is non of that, even when part of VMware all EUC was doing was riding on VMware name. So, the comparison is ridiculous.🤣

Death by a thousand cliques you mean. It never surprises me the utter stupidity of people these days. In society 1 out of ten are truly clever. In Japan they select that 1 to run things. In the west we select the 9 while shunning the 1.
