Heard that from a manager. You'd think with ~1200 departures already that would be enough. It looks like another 1100 are going to be next. Alle Yockelson would be so proud! (Did she pop out anywhere yet?).

Wondering how the remaining NetApp employees will respond to the "quiet layoffs". I was there for 10 years and lol at the executive PULSE surveys that are not anonymous. It is so ridiculous, we just let go of the older more expensive folks who know... — read more 

So I am looking for a job and was looking at Cisco right across the street in RTP, NC and was wondering if reqs are going to be open. I figured since expensive people are being let go, I could get a job even though my salary will be low since it is a... — read more 

Ten years. Late nights. Missed birthdays. And none of it meant a thing to them. I broke my back for this company, and for what? To be tossed aside like yesterday's trash. Don't bother working hard. Don't bother being a high performer. In the end, it... — read more 

I've been here 10 years and this is the 4th restructuring we are going through. Sorry GK, it's not the fields fault. In 10 years our annual revenue has never been north of $7B. You keep bringing in our competitors people to change the culture... — read more 

I can't find a single thing about layoffs anywhere. And I've looked, trust me. I can't understand how layoffs became so commonplace - overall or at NetApp, I'm not sure - that it stopped being newsworthy. So many people have lost their livelihoods... — read more 

Working here gets worse by the day. I'm too chickenshit to quit, but if they forced me out, I wouldn't complain.

Asking for a 'friend'

What kind of a company gets rid of most of its senior talent? Do they not give a damn about institutional knowledge?

This layoff was what I needed to finally get my a-s in gear and start looking for a new job. So thanks for pushing my procrastinating a-s to finally do something useful. Not sure that was your intention, but I will take it.

The layoffs happened just yesterday, and people are already talking about the next round. Is this really where we are now? Not even a single day can pass without the stress of looming cuts. Not one day. I am starting to hate this place more than I... — read more 

Man, what has happened to NetApp throughout the years. This place used to be in the top 20 "Best Places to Work" list. What happened to its culture? Bring back Tom Mendoza please!!

I’m QA and my manager sent me invite and gave me two option to move to Dev or take severance package and leave, I’ve choosen to move to Dev but am I safe here

Any ideas about 2nd round?

I can't seem to find a number anywhere. I'm just trying to figure out how bad this round was.

I survived this round, but I don’t feel relieved. Every time there’s a layoff, we lose someone else and their work just gets handed to the rest of us because their position is never backfilled. I think we’re already doing double the work we were a... — read more 

Netapp has done “restructurings”, aka layoffs, every few months for the last couple of years, always claiming “we need to realign to priorities.” If a company needs to restructure this frequently, that merely shows you that leadership has zero... — read more 

It's no wonder the company is laying off "older workers". They are the primary reason that innovation has ceased to exist at the company. Overpaid by any standards ..... playing out the string and hoping to retire before the company figures out... — read more 

It seems like the people who had a more than a few years at NetApp were let go. Some teams were reduced a lot, roles in engineering have been switched around. More layoffs are said to come, i’m assuming certain counties in the US have stricter... — read more 

Do not think you are out of the water. If you manager has assigned you a needs improvement scorecard you will more than likely be part of the second reduction in force. GK/EC said we are moving towards a high performance culture and there will be... — read more 

When it does hit, things will likely get worse. I’m afraid this may just be the beginning of a real downward spiral. I have no confidence in leadership’s ability to navigate through the storm. In fact, I worry they’ll only make things worse. So even... — read more 

I'm not posturing or being flippant. I would've absolutely volunteered if they gave me the chance. Why wasn't that an option?

If you haven't been riffed you will be soon. The company will be under $50 a share by this time next year and likely bought.

I see that 80-90% of those affected are older, with many years of service at NetApp. Looks like ageism to me. Also, if you have disabilities that are visible and obvious could be an ADA lawsuit waiting to happen. NetApp settles. When... — read more 

If you don't work with many older employees you might have seen less of it. It's obviously an ageist layoff. I've been noticing the same thing. Yes, there are a few younger people affected, but I think the average age skews much higher. Which should... — read more 

Am I wrong to assume this round is not that big?

I don't have any 1:1 scheduled... does that mean I'm safe, or are they using email, phone calls, or something else?

Ex-NetApp from several years back. A dear friend of mine was RIF’d. ATS in the public sector

Who was impacted, what was your severance and what org did you belong to?

Layoff is tomorrow... many people all over NetApp have meeting invites 8-9am from their leadership already in their email. They had HR layoff training meeting end of last week. 6-8% hit

WARN notices will go out next week. I'm hearing around 6% or so of workforce, which will be labeled as a re-org/restructuring.

Heard a VP of one of the cloud teams was fired. Why?

I haven't seen recent selfies from President Cesar? What's happening, is he traveling? Or at home, waiting for big layoff?

When is the layoff?

I was a sales leader for 14 years at NetApp. I was diagnosed with cancer and a month later , I was announced as DM of the half year at sales kickoff. One month after my cancer surgery and was on leave, and a month after I as announced as DM of The... — read more
