“Yup, China Hock-blocked Magoo. A real vSAN disk move”

I’m just here for the s-xualized VMware acronym puns.

No vCloud Usage Meter for Hock >:-D

Point of personal privilege

@1mqf+1paeAe1i - Please use gender gender-neutral pronouns when addressing someone you do not know and cannot see.

@1qhm+1paeAe1i - Virtue signaling and D-bag signaling are the same thing

Hey Magoo + C Suite, here is a chance to lead and show some class snd empathy. Maybe it is also a chance for you to dance.

I don’t know, that is why you folks get the big bucks.

Let’s see.

Our BUs have mission statements? Never heard of them.

Do they not? I can only speak for SBU. We have it loud and clear on Source. ~"Regardless of what goes on in VMware, this is what we focus on."

I recently learnt that constantly accusing others of virtue signalling is officially known as d0uch3bag signaling.

Ahahahaha. Let's use that in a sentence.

"The culture war gravy seal thought he was fighting the righteous fight by trying to red pill normies on an anonymous internet message board, but ultimately everyone saw it for what is was. D0ucebag signalling."

All I know is if the deal falls through there won't be anymore dancing on the all hands meetings since all of the execs won't get those nice golden parachutes.

As you know, our protocol here on layoffs.com is to only stay on topic and talk about the nuts and bolts of being laid-off.

None of this water cooler, mental health venting is allowed.

If you want that interaction, get a therapy puppy.

Unless another email went out with regards to the events of the last day or two that sounds like that acquisition denial, give it a rest. Bi--hing about a CEO that may or may not have one foot out the door doesn’t help anyone.

This sounds exactly like the email we got when the acquisition was leaked - and our execs told us it was just rumors. Days later, it gets confirmed. It's been happening throughout this entire s-show.

This was the email he sent when the rumors about the acquisition started. OP posted it as this is likely what he would say if asked to comment now.

However, I’m sure, like the rest of us, that he just wants to get it over with at this point. For him there is big pot of $$$ waiting at the end. For the rest of us, we’ve just had enough of the waiting and want it over.

Worst, most apathetic, out of touch leader ever. He doesn’t give two sh--s about his staff.

People’s entire livelihoods, families are in the balance and he from his ivory tower is commanding the peasants to keep working LOL

“We too are hearing and seeing all the media and social cycles trending about VMware in the past 14 hours or so.

As you know, our protocol here is to not comment on rumor or speculation. And please do not speculate in internal conversations, on social media, or other public settings.

My advice to all of you is to not make assumptions and stay focused on our tasks at hand in helping our customers, driving our transformation, and supporting each other.”

I don't understand why this has become a meme.

We took it as the Main Thing was what your BU's mission statement was. IOW, Look to your GM (who ultimately controls your job) and what they prioritize.

The main thing is China blocked the deal. Right?
