Whatever the reasons behind his departure, from where I sit Dallas was one of the few senior leaders who seemed to genuinely understand how sales at NetApp needs to function — how the field, partners, customers and internal teams actually need to... — read more 

Anyone else seeing what’s happening in the UK? Good people are leaving, particularly women, and others seem completely burnt out. Yet we still hear all the usual talk about diversity, inclusion and people being our biggest asset. Since the... — read more

People actions happening this week.

Has anyone dealt with COBRA yet? I just got a balance letter in the mail for the full amount, not the 10% (90% is subsidized by NetApp), even after speaking with the NetBenefits rep who said that I would be responsible for only the 10%. What's your... — read more 

I'm only 3 weeks of waiting at this point, but I see folks have been waiting since May and still haven't received it or any word from NetApp. How can we organize and get this in front of some financial reporters?

I am out of town, I have been monitoring my mails (using USPS informed delivery). I have not received any mail. I did not see anything on ADP either. Please share if you have already received severance pay. It will be so helpful!

Is always in November, a week or two before thanksgiving. It’ll happen between now and then.

Still waiting to receive the severance pay! No response or notification from anyone. If you got paid, was it direct deposited or received a check?

Two planned reductions this year. A small one near the end of August and a larger one around Thanksgiving. VPs already know and are choosing which teams will be hit. Directors will hear news about the layoff in the next 2 weeks. Cloud product teams... — read more 

Has anyone received the severance payment yet?

Younger hires are coming in, older ones are going out. And the exits don't look like performance issues. It's a shame how little this place cares about institutional knowledge.

How are posts being deleted on this website? Whatever happened to freedom of speech?

For anyone impacted or just good at sniffing it out, what were the signs major or one off layoff was coming?

As a prior employee who was laid off over a year ago, I have to admit that from a shareholder perspective who was fully vested with ESPP shares for several years, it appears that the moves that NetApp is making has increased my account value... — read more 

Most of the people already working here are trying to escape. Yet somehow, people are still applying. I honestly can't figure out what would make someone want to join this mess. It's a mystery to me.

Some important information is contained in the Attachment A (severance amount, payment method), but it's not in the Severance document to sign.

Wondering when severance is actually paid? Just got my last paycheck before the termination date. Any idea when the documents would be sent and when they would pay out severance?

George Kurian's legacy won't be maybe hitting $10B in revenue at some point. His legacy, along with Beth O'Callahans, will be constant layoffs and total decimation of the NetApp culture that had been built over the years. Beth's legacy will be the... — read more 

NetApp advised U.S. employees in May that we could elect a separate 401(k) deferral percentage for our ICP bonus. I was excited about the new option and updated my elections in Fidelity as soon as it became available. However, I also changed my... — read more 

Did anyone who got impacted recently managed to get their RSUs vested sooner as part of the package?

Anyone had NetApp admit they made a mistake getting rid of you and asked you to come back to the same role as if you never left? Didn't happen to me, but curious of others had it happen?

If you want to raise employee morale, it's quite simple. Reinstate real paid time off, FTO is evil. Remove the thrive together requirements, people want ultimate flexibility. Stop off-shoring business critical roles to India, it's horrible. Nothing... — read more

The answer is always yes. The questions that should be asked now are when and how many.

When is the last date to return the laptop? Is there a strict deadline? Still haven’t returned it because I didn’t get a box from ups yet.

NetApp’s financial performance is much better than past years. Will they be generous to pay bonus to laid off people? If anyone gets it, please share

Who else is diasspointed with their thrive rewards?

i got let go May 19. still can't find a job. not surprise. According to NetApp, they will continue to pay 3-4 months of Health Insurance before July 18, but need to enroll or sign up before July 18. They never mentioned how to enroll or any link... — read more 

We're always seeing more cuts, fewer benefits, managers who know they can do whatever they want, and so many other things. This place fell so far so fast.

Cesar just announced the President Club. Roughly 150 people going to Four Seasons in Sydney. What's something like that gotta cost? How many FTEs could it have saved?

I overheard a conversation another layoff coming this July or August along the hallway. Is it true? I remember we had one last year around July/August/Sept. We spent more time worried about layoff and do the real work. I will planning to apply for... — read more 

What if, and hear me out, leadership focused on growing revenue instead of shrinking headcount? Wouldn't that be something? Too bad nobody here would ever try that.

Thinking about retaining an employment attorney to look over my layoff paperwork and see if there is any room to negotiate a better severance package. If you've used a lawyer for this, how did it go? Did the company offer more, or did you end up... — read more

A question for those who were laid off during the last wave, and had unspent PTO (from when they told use it up before FTO was introduced): did NetApp pay it out as part of the severance?

Say what you want about this place, but for me, it's still one of the best jobs I've had. Pay is fine. Work is interesting. Coworkers are great. That's why I'm scared of getting laid off. I don't want to go.

It’s the same story everywhere, but it feels especially absurd at our company. VPs and above fly business class, enjoy generous budgets they seem to circulate among themselves, and receive inflated bonuses for minimal impact. Many of them... — read more
