Thread regarding NetApp layoffs

Why I worry about other (Meta) companies laying off again

We all know that we take a leaf out of other companies' books every time, If Meta is gonna lay off another time, there is a high probability that NetApp will too.
Better to prepare now and get another job than to compete with more ( talented ) people in the market later.
All the best everyone.

I think you guys misread the message, OP was talking about competing with a lot more talented people in the market - i.e. its easier when there are not many talented in the market to get a job for NetApp employees vs when there aren't (m)any

Well, yes. > 0 is more than zero.

LOL. Netapp and talent in the same sentence? Dude! Netapp is where careers go to die. If you can pull it off, remove Netapp from your resume. It's an anchor.

As if Netapp folks have any talent. I'm shocked when I look at LI profiles of supposedly "experienced" (and now layed off) Netapp engineers and see skills like "Can organize a meeting" but nothing about actual programming skills never mind modern languages like C++ (yeah, I know, not that modern but kinda a benchmark), Python, Go, or the like.

Where have you been? Netapp has been laying off people every 3-6 months for the past several years. Only the big ones "make the news". The end is finally near and about time. The only thing I can't predict is what will happen to Netapp. Bought out? Bankrupt? Perhaps like SGI, bounced around between several buyers before finally being put out to pasture in the "HP company boneyard"?

Managers will be let go or demoted to customer contributor roles replacing lower people on the food change in order to protect their jobs.

Overhead like security and compliance will go first.
