Revenue has hovered around $6B with GK as CEO for the past decade (-/+ ~$1B) and yet some of you fools are writing "best ceo" in the comments.
Gagging at the sychophants blowing smoke up GK and CC's butts over how they're great leaders at All Hands.
In the April/May RIF, the person who was let go from my business unit was a "go team" type and even turned his LinkedIn to a living NetApp ad.
Don't think for one second that being a corporate cheerleader will save you.
If we're talking about cost cutting how about Converge? How much does it cost to send all those sales people to Vegas? Feels like a series of Zooms could accomplish the same as far as info dissemination goes.
And let's throw in the annual president's club trip while we're at it.
I worked in a Bay Area company going downhill during y2k. Cut distilled water and toilet paper. Executive showed up one day in a limo and had an company provided apartment in the Bay Area while she only visited that site twice a year.
That company closed the door shortly after.
That was in such poor taste after firing so many people. Also we are over here nickel and diming on our budgets for $1K etc and they're out here just wasting money like this? wtf
40k low end for Rice's appearance...great example of another business expense
They spent 30 minutes of that meeting kissing up to GK and paid a football player 100k to pretend to be his friend. Great company.
The butt kissing on the zoom was amazing. So many lemmings... GK has done nothing for our revenue. It was 6.1b when he started and 6.6b now. Take into account inflation and time value of money we have gone backwards. At this rate it will be another 60 years before we hit the magic 10b number.
