RIP EPiC VMware shutdown

Last year, my entire family was looking forward to the EPIC shutdown, now I have to worry about my younger kids being left at home as I need to prepare for a meeting on campus at 9 AM I miss being treated like a VMware employee. I really miss how we were treated like humans. I don’t know how to describe my role- yes ma’am yes sir head down, keep a low profile and throw the blame on whoever I can blame. As tempting the RSUs might be for my transition period, I’m regretting accepting it and this dooming I’m sending my manager a note to let him know I have COVID so I can stay in this week.

Actually just take time off. Don’t lie about medical issues specially the ones which are tracked by the govt.

VMware TheBCJoker OP Dec 25, 2023

I can’t, manager would reject it. As for COVID, they are not tracking these cases, I know- the data sits in a folder and nothing is being done about. Email was sent, no other choice but lying to stay at home.

You could have just said flu instead of covid.

VMware TheBCJoker OP Dec 25, 2023

My manger will make me come, the only thing that scares him is COVID

Roblox mJCo55 Dec 25, 2023

Can't ask you to come if the disease is contagious.

And posting here makes lot of sense.

Yes, maybe delete this post. Who knows if your managers read it! Anyways, I miss the old days too.

1) I understand missing the VMware shutdown at EOY 2) Why on earth would you tag @VMware that you’re lying about having COVID in order to miss work for the week? That’s a key detail you should not be sharing on a public forum, especially one that your manager may be using. After all, I may be your manager, and I may be bringing this up at our next one-on-one

Lol, good point to discuss manager :D

For COVID, they ask positive test report if you need to wfh... For sick leave, more than 2 days requires medical docs.

VMware vmware, Dec 26, 2023

Lol what? No chance. That’s totally team-dependent, if that’s even true.
