Yearly small layoff (1-2%) is coming next week. I've been told HR is mobilized.

Expect a meeting invite with your manager on January 21st. Good luck...

This is a strategy and well established history for vmware. Acquire small startups, then lay-off the good minds. Another acquisition is in the baking (in a few weeks). Little they know, they will be crushed. Welcome to Vmware.

I feel that the leadership really is out of touch. They don’t see racism that we suffer from. Instead, the empower Indian directors to control minorities and promote Indians. Oh well, we received another survey. Nothing is taken into... —  read more

Is this going to be an interesting year as it relates to VMware Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?

Managers were asked to specify heads to cut off for this January 2019. You know the drill, managers will want to get rid off anyone who threat their own job. Get your resume updated if you are too good for this toxic racist place.

Heard layoff is scheduled for next month. Good luck

Anybody has any info here?

Another manipulation from the HR to deceive staff into talking about the toxic culture at the various business units. Then retaliation will be the basis for next layoffs. Managers get access to the individual feedback and that becomes the basis of... —  read more 

What's up with VMW ? Will stock price sudden drop cause layoffs?

Any idea how much vmware paid for avi networks. Just curious

The data breach that was discovered at NSBU might trigger layoffs. I heard a few directors and senior directors jobs are on the line. It depends if customers are worried about private data exposed.

Article is from a few months ago, but it still really says all about VMware and how it treats its employees. 65.77% employees fear being laid off. I'm surprised it's not even more... —  read more

Talks of EUC reorg in Oct? Anyone?

I heard from 4 employees who were laid off last time that they received a specific training about age discrimination 1 month before they got laid off. Their managers trapped them into discussion of age discrimination and recorded them with no... —  read more 

There was a rumor of May layoffs at VMware some time ago - did that prove to be wrong or can we expect something to happen in the next few weeks? It'd be nice to get some info on it wither way, just to know just how much I need to worry (or not to... —  read more 

EUC workspace 1 is under fire after very weak year performance. Layoffs are being escalated. This in addition to the too many harrassment and retaliatory practices that has been reported. Several VPs are under scrutiny in what appears to be a big... —  read more

Usually, it is in July. But this time it is being prepared. Confirming company direction in hiring Cisco like culture. The policy is hire as many and the kick out who does not become obedient.

VMware have announced it intends to acquire Atherpal. My advice to the existing staff is, get out while you can!!! https://blogs.vmware.com/euc/2019/02/advanced-remote-management.html —  read more

It has become patently obvious that there is no future at VMware. When layoffs are the main and only go to for management to solve the mounting issues, then it becomes obvious how inept and desperate they are. My advice to everybody is to start... —  read more 

I know that’s hard to figure out, but does anyone have an idea how many people were affected by layoffs and, if somebody knows, what number were they targeting? In other words, can we expect more, or is that about it for now?

Honestly, it's like the goal is to leave all the dead weight and cut anybody who actually has any knowledge and contributes to the company. Each time when we have more cuts, I'm left in disbelief when I see who is gone. Who is the genius who makes... —  read more 

I can’t get a picture of what positions were the main target of these layoffs. Does anyone else have any info? Or maybe the main criteria was to eliminate a little in all departments.

It is a lie that this layoff is rebalancing of workforce. The layoffs at EUC workspace 1 intelligence team targeted only the people who were hired via an acquisition in March 2018. The manager did not personally like the people and because he is the... —  read more 

Can we expect more layoffs today?

Why exactly is WMware refusing to say how many people were laid off as part of the latest layoffs round - especially here, in the US? What is it they are trying to hide? Could it be that the numbers are much larger than anybody suspects and they just... —  read more 

So, my number came up and I was let go yesterday. 14 months before retirement. It could have been avoided and they had multiple options, yet this is the path they chose to take. I'll be fine but this leaves quite a bit of bitter taste... Farewell... —  read more

Layoffs seem to be all over the place, let's try to consolidate Bangalore related info in this thread.

I've seen a list with 8 names on it today, all let go. I am hearing the cut may be a bit bigger but that's all what I know so far. Maybe someone else can chime in on the timing, etc.
