Am I the only one in the last layoff who is struggling to get past it? I’m just finding myself getting angrier and angrier as each day passes and I know that this isn’t positive but changing that line of thinking is taking more energy than I have. .. — read more 

I'm over NetApp. It's draining to keep pushing myself when it feels like my manager's never satisfied, no matter how good my work is. And it's good—other people see it and comment on it all the time. But when you're not in the "favorites club," it... — read more 

Why is CHRO going after 9 months?

That’s the strategy, and each one of us can expect to be affected sooner than later.

It seems that who you are actually matters as so far of the 10 people I know who were laid off, 100% were 30s-50s, white males. A small sample I know but wow, if that was the criteria used, good luck to all for the future.

No matter who you are or how much security you think you have, you really don’t.

Are layoffs still going on or they are over?

Sales and engineering are being targeted. A few team members are impacted. Anyone else?

Well, I don’t know who else is being affected today but I was just laid off due to ‘NetApp is changing the SE organization’ Good luck to everyone and keep your head up.

What’s new?

When is the Security Team being outsourced?

Any thoughts? I'm part of the filesystem QA team and have been working with the same team for several years. I'm a bit concerned now since we've been doing similar work for years, and it feels like it could be replaced by lower-cost hires but... — read more 

What the heck, anyone know why he’d resign with no warning?

Seems like long notice. Staying on until May 25, 2025 unless a new CFO identified before.

Anything new on this rumor?

Everyone assumes the brothers are selling NTAP to Goog. When is this expected to go down?

NetApp next? Where are all those consultants?

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

Check the proxy. Total parachute to NEOs about 160 million vs 100 million last year.

NA held up well despite being a CS shop. Can't say the same for those targeted for the next round of layoffs

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.

Wiz tied into 3 hyperscalers like NetApp.

A misdirection while Thomas and George hash out the details of a Google / NetApp tie up?

So the rumors of outside consultants are bankers seeing how much can be trimmed when NetApp integrated into Broadcom/VMware? Hock Tan likes cash flow.

They didn't even bother to press release it. https://sustainabletechpartner.com/topics/chief-sustainability-officers/netapp-hires-vmware-veteran-nicola-acutt-as-chief-sustainability-officer-5-things-to-know/

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.
