Thread regarding NetApp layoffs

What's your plan?

Recent reorgs around a certain product have set NetApp up to lose what little foothold and stake it had in tangible cloud offerings. The leadership of this org has continued to churn and make poor decisions that result in highly experienced engineers leaving. A certain new director seems to have everything a director has in title. Pay, prestige, authority. All while lacking a fairly crucial component: direction.

Optimism and working your very best won't help once NetApp leadership deems you unnecessary. My suggestion is to be realistic about your situation. If you think this organization and product will succeed, you are just wrong. Anyone with eyes to see can read the writing on the wall. This organization will most definitely see layoffs anywhere in the next 6-9 months and I'm certain this train will derail.

For those of you who have the wisdom to know what's coming, what's your plan?

Seriously, posts like this are useless unless someone has some in-depth details about the org. Anyone?

Every re org so far has involved some sort of a reduction in force. Redundant positions are usually eliminated. And they aren’t backfilled either.

@ihopegkreadsthis, what makes you so sure layoffs are coming after a reorg? Is a reorg really substantial evidence for an upcoming layoff?

Capt. Kurian doesn’t seems to have confidence in the future of the company as he converts his stock options into real cash (source : SEC website). It looks he is copying the style Francesco Schettino from the Costa Condordia who was “co-ordinating” everything from his life boat when the rest of the crew and passenger were stuck during the eventful disaster.

SPOT? Scaler sales? Cloud insights? Consumption CSM? Many cloud orgs fits these theme…..what’s left of them,. Be ready for worst case scenario is my bet.
