Former VMware executive predicts VMware will lay off 20K people
Former VMware executive and now Aviatrix CEO Steve Mullaney believes massive employee layoffs are in store for VMware once Broadcom acquires the virtualization superstar for $61 billion. “They’re going to fire 20,000 VMware people,” predicts Mullaney. “How else are they going to get that profitability Broadcom wants? … There’s only two ways to do it: grow revenue or cut costs. I know what they’re going do. They’re going to slash people.” Mullaney was the CEO of software-defined networking pioneer Nicira, which was acquired by VMware in 2012 for $1.3 billion. He was senior vice president and general manager for VMware’s networking and security business until he retired in 2014. https://www.crn.com/news/cloud/aviatrix-ceo-on-potential-post-broadcom-vmware-layoffs-and-why-on-prem-market-is-the-titanic-going-down- #layoff #vmware #broadcom

Oh no anyway
“strong job market”
so he retired in 2014 after $1.2b sale but now he’s back in the game? man, I guess it’s really not about the money
Nah, he found out his golfing buddy had more money than him and got jealous.
I’ve met this guy in person. What an insufferable ass. Truly. Good luck on your IPO next year!
Could be 🤔
Will vmware do the layoff?? Broadcom will do the layoff after acquisition is complete, right?
When you join a cloud company you think on Prem is dead
This guy has skin in the game, this is just competitive FUD
