Chime in below. Also, I would not be surprised if someone was to set up a prediction market on Kalshi or PolyMarket for things like this. But then, HR or Management would have an upper hand and would always win (just like they do in the real life but... — read more 

No point in investing in this place. Look at who they cut - nobody is safe, and hard work clearly doesn't matter.

Just a thought, maybe start chasing VAST/Weka/Qumulo before they eat all your NAS lunch?

It felt completely stripped of any clear message or real leadership. It looked like it was generated completely with AI or rewritten so many times by HR that there was absolutely no purpose to it. No numbers, no changes, no future. How did NetApp... — read more 

How they always manage to target the very people the team depends on is beyond me.

For code contributors, there’s metrics involved now. Even within tiers of needs improvement, meets, or exceeds, they have top, middle, and low rankings. Basically tracking commits from forked branches of mainstream repos. I’m sure they used this as... — read more 

Will we at least get a few months to recover from all the stress?

Fu--ing disrespectful to see postings/ openings based in Bangalore today on LinkedIn.

The next round of layoffs here at NetApp highlight a growing issue: leadership increasingly feels disconnected from reality. Too many decisions seem to come from a C-level bubble rather than from understanding employees and customers. Another... — read more 

The leadership is hoping you will. They're hoping they'll get fewer people to do more. If you know what's good for you and all of your coworkers, you won't play into their hands.

Or will this continue throughout the week?

The only reason we are sponsoring them is because the executives get free lounge and box access for free. So much for being "good stewards", "shareholder oriented" and "value creators". Couple this with free private jets, it's one never-ending party... — read more 

It's obvious that performance wasn't criteria for this round, so I'm wondering what was. Judging by the ages of those affected, I'm guessing pay played a significant role in determining who to put on the list. I could be wrong, though, and it could... — read more 

Folks are floating numbers from 500 to 900... Somebody posted a 20% claim - it was disputed in concert. No consensus or official total...

What about EMEA/APAC/India??? Some say other regions follow - one reply says EMEA was already informed - another says Americas only. Which is it?

I wad impacted today after being at the company for 5 years. The one question I forgot to ask was around our annual bonus payout. Since it appears everyone will still be on payroll and “employees” until 60 days from now (July 18th), will we be... — read more

I guess I'll find out what's going on tomorrow morning. Color me shocked

After more strict changes for RTO (Thrive Together initiative) It seems remote people are being targeted more than office people in RTP and NANE locales, anyone else seeing that?

Can we consider ourselves safe if we didn't get anything by now?

I lost count of how many layoffs have happened in the past 8 years. Today's is the worst. Our already skeleton crew was cut in half. All of us are already over worked. This place is going to be a disgruntled sweatshop in day or 2. And they layed of... — read more 

Dude you orchestrate these layoffs every quarter and you don't have the decency to make a comment or justify your decisions. These are REAL LIVES that you're impacting. They need to have a layoff at the csuite level.

Days like today are always tough. When smart, hard working and loyal, good people get let go from doing their jobs to assuage the hubris at the top. Every single layoff has a personal and professional impact. I think there is growing frustration at... — read more 

But I am noticing that those affected are mostly 50+. Not a good look for the company.

Anyone knows severance information?

Shyam org got a big hit

Silent layoffs of big amount of senior engineers

If you are affected please post your org and years of service

First invitations for 1:1 are just got send out.

I have a theory that Nvidia is going to buy out NetApp.

I just want to see if they made any changes since the last round.
