We've (guys on this board) got featured on the front page: http://www.businessinsider.com/vmware-employees-vent-about-layoffs-2016-1

I'm not a VMware employee. I'm an alliance partner. What I'm seeing is that most of these cuts are coming from vCloud Air. Is VMware giving up on that product? My perception originally was that vCloud Air would be rolled into Virtustream. Of course... — read more 

I read thru mine - anyone get any legal advice?

Since he joined VMware we are lowering the guidance and then beating the same and patting our backs for that. Even this was achieved with dubious means. Please read this... — read more 

We still have lot to achieve with VMware... Since PAT came on board - we are achieving our quarterly - yearly targets. Current Dell-EMC deal is a catalyst for current uncertainties. I hope that deal falls apart and we get spun off as a independent... — read more 

I read an article in the fall that alleged VMware's management had been juicing reported software growth for a year by quietly allocating SaaS to the license category. There's nothing wrong with the accounting, they just didn't tell investors about... — read more 

Nothing here on EMC's board ( link &emc ) - why? Are they hammering just us or is the hammer going to fall over there - they are super bloated and ineffective, they could have made much bigger impact if they were to clean up the house over there - I... — read more 

Nearly 100 employees at VMware Canada are losing their jobs as the company closes its Burlington technical support office as part of worldwide layoffs across the firm. A company spokesperson would not confirm the company move. But Edward Woods, a... — read more 

Bailed a couple of years ago, was not sure if I made a right move but, in light of what transpired today (you guys are all over news today), I think I might have made a right decission. I hate that you have to go through all of this, it was a great... — read more 

Two years ago, the entire groups of Fusion and Workstation QA group were laid off in Palo Alto. The developers stayed at that time. Now the entire groups of Workstation and Fusion in Palo Alto are gone as well today. SAD

We all know that there is a layoff going on right now. My question is: Is there more to come later this year? Is this the only round of layoff in 2016?

The business has been on a downside. There are quite a few old blokes in here. Also heard the cut can be from anywhere in the world and any BU.

For those that were notified today, are they allowing the opportunity to find another position inside VMware?

Is it any different? I am just curious, really, I have no other use for this info but I always feel like Canadians treat workers better. I might be off on this one, but for some reason, most of bitter comments here come from the States, but at the... — read more 

For those impacted, it seems ServiceNow is hiring VMW vets like crazy.

Many have asked, here it goes: Axed today but will stay an employee until 4/1... At that point they will give me two month payment as severance and I will get 5 more weeks for 5 years I spent here. I've got a grant of 2000 USD to cover Cobra payments... — read more 

Anybody heard anything on any of VMware's outsourced teams???

They have started meeting with folks in Inside Sales/Management - Severance discussed, in line with what was reported earlier last week here... I think they are looking at performance as the key factor in deciding on who to let go, do not have more... — read more 

Also wondering what's the history of Layoffs with SE's. Been here for about a year but not sure how fragile SE's are during layoff time.

Vmware Burlington Canada call center got cut.

I knew I would be the one sacrificed so the blood letting is starting - after 8+ years I got the boot!

New NSA requirements are driving the need to reduce business ties with China. Support centers located in Central Asia will also be shut, with centers shifting to Costa Rica and the Philippines.

Guys be free today. Nothing gonna happen today. I heard from flying bird that RIF will be on Tuesday or Wednesday. at least not today.

...if you get RIF'd today or tomorrow, you won't have to sit through the bullshit "Virtual" Sales Kickoff.

They need the infrastructure to host The Onion and their revival of Sábado Gigante.
