Saw some news that VMWare made some layoffs yesterday. Anyone have scope to function/locations? Seeing reports of Ireland, Bangalore, MA, CO, Palo Alto...
thanks
How is everything moving to the cloud affecting VMware?
Considering VMwares runs in Azure, AWS, IBM Cloud, OVH and 4000 other cloud partners, just fine.
What are reasons for needing VMware in the cloud?
Bad I guess !! Unfortunately jobs won't move to cloud !!
Yep, around 500 laid off across all divisions and locations. Looks like fat trimming
Lol. Most orgs that were hit will get to rehire that head count, in some cases for the exact same position and in some cases will get extra head count. Would love to know the average age of 500 who were hit.
They were bought by Dell in 2017. Not surprised they are now having layoffs. Kinda standard when bought by another big company.
VMware isn’t 100% owned or controlled by Dell. Rather than fire people one off through the year they group it up into one event. It was less than headcount growth for last year so overall the company is still growing
We have layoffs every January this had nothing to do will Dell.
It's our new holiday tradition. New Year Layoff.
The layoffs are mostly from legacy product teams. More investments are being made across all the upcoming products - VMC/NSX. At least that's the information we have been given.
