Cyclone still alive due to Sunk Cost Fallacy
It is pretty much clear to those on the ground that the new flagship storage product from MRES is going to be a disaster. There is no way this product which is already delayed can compete with offerings from Netapp, HP and pure. The team doing the... — read more

Reorganization = layoffs
There were no layoffs. A reorg was announced but no job loss. Such a naive stance. Do you know of one reorganization that was not either based on getting rid of a bunch of employees or that was not followed by huge layoffs? It's their sole purpose... — read more
Are there layoffs planned at Irvine office today ?
There is a visit from the VP which feels a bit out of context followed by an all-hands for the Irvine site and is very much reminiscent of how layoffs happened in 2015.

A lot of people in QA across the board are being "relieved of their duties". Few large federal customers [2 in US, 1 in Canada] are not renewing data center storage, software and implementation / operation services. Don't look good, IMO.

I hate QBRs, really hate them!
It is amazing to see how low the numbers are coming out of the QBRs. Everyone's numbers are way down compared to last year. The pressure from management is almost unbearable. Someone is definitely going to get cut very soon. This really s---s!
