With all the negative pr intel got from their layoffs i think management here is done with layoffs for the rest of the year.

NetApp next? Where are all those consultants?

got some rsu from promotion this year. do i hold until after acquisition is done or do i sell now? if i get trimmed in the fat, i believe they are forfeited.

Why is it that I see Pure CEO everywhere with his funny hat? Does he think it's the 1920s or something, "and how do you do, what do you hear, what do you say?"

Wiz tied into 3 hyperscalers like NetApp.

The good news is that NetApp stock price is going up, north of 130 per share. One of GK's key metrics is to increase stockholder value. Unfortunately, the company is having to make decisions that impact most employees significantly.

Any dept spared?

1–3 years out, oracle? Thoughts

Engineers enjoy the new paradigm, have no self-esteem, and bow down are a must for continued employment.

I’m almost sorry for all of us who are still here (for now). We have to pick up work for all the people who are gone. Many peeps who were let go are not easily replaceable. They will take on new people who we will need to train endlessly and not be... — read more

Has NetApp ever observed Easter as a holiday in the US? It was weird to me that they don’t but do in other countries.
