I don't have time to read all of the ridiculous posts here since I have been gone from the scene for a few years but I still can't figure out why no one points out the obvious. I went through 16 rounds of layoffs here and finally just left for... — read more 

My manager notified me that my responsibilities have moved to a different group so my position has been eliminated,,, but my teammates are calling me to get the assets and all responsibilities have been reassigned in my team. What should I do?

Not.

Is it over now? Has the smoke cleared?

Did NA consider voluntary layoff packages, early retirement option for those interested in such an option ?

I left SF a year ago. I see many posts here that's bashing SolidFire. So, understand people that SF was a startup when it was acquired and the process that you have in ontap took years to be live. How can you expect a startup to have all the... — read more 

I feel bad for all of the folks laid off this week. I worked at NetApp for 10 years and left about 3 years ago. The reason I left was because I could see the writing on the wall. NetApp is a storage vendor. Storage is a commodity product. I... — read more 

This forum gave me a real look inside NetApp culture, which is toxic and ugly with a bunch of jealous and petty children. I knew about the close minded stuck in the past thinking; but this forum illustrates wait happens when you have poor (or no)... — read more 

Former NetApp employee here. This is just sad. I left over a year ago and I remember the constant fear of layoffs ruining my productivity while I was there. I feel for those who were impacted. Time to move on rather than staying there until it’s too... — read more 

Its leadership's fault for the current state of things.

I worked at NetApp for a decade and was there from the good ol' days (2007) to 2017, when the company was going downhill and had completely changed. Their decline started long before Kurian. Former CEO Tom Georgens didn't think Cloud would catch on... — read more

The Solidfire acquisition was a total failure and has been known internally for years. Then the company doubled down on failure by putting those fools in charge of developing HCI. I’m glad to see those incompetent fools let go. Too bad a lot of good... — read more 

What is WARN?

Few in my team were laid off and they were extremely good at their work. I am shocked with the decision taken to lay them off in spite of their top notch work. Only reason I can think of is that they were not in agreement with their boss on few... — read more 

How many more chances does he need? The ‘laser focus’ and ‘execution’ narrative grows old. Board needs to step up.

Yes, I'm a former MARS engineer.

Sorry all.

Any ideas if all affected people will be notified today or if we are looking at several days of this? How will we know if it's really over? I'm really hoping they're planing to do this as fast as possible. Even if I'm going to be laid off, I'd rather... — read more 

Big numbers in solidfire and marketing.

NetApp keeps being the club of who likes whom. We have some of these guys protecting each other and not being laid off. Why? Small circles, favorite guys...

Iknow of a few people and it seems to be hitting Sales and sales support.

Soldifire is Kurians legacy as well as all the others who gave a thumbs up to the acquisition. Eugenio was the litmus for Tom G. and Solidfire is the same for Kurian. No time left to start again.

NetApp is the most duplicitous culture ever. Kurian'a crocodile tears are are just an act. There was a time when Tom Mendoza crowed constantly about NetApp culture. His and Kurians legacy is a cesspool of dysfunction and greed.

Layoffs expected today across a number of groups. Alliances will be hard hit as well as unsuccesful products (HCI) and legacy sales org structures in sales, marketing, support etc. Cuts have been planned for sometime and many people have been told... — read more

Good balance sheet, good products and good leadership make a difference.

NetApp has eliminated somewhere between 55-75 PS jobs and are transitioning most, if not all of those positions to CGI (cgi.com). Announcement was made today. Last day is 5/15. Managers and "individual contributors" were both impacted.

The future has been mortgaged by stock buybacks and executive packages. Henri is the latest. All of this at the cost of employees futures and innovation. Fire sale is... — read more
