Class Action Lawsuit - Overtime Exemption Violation

How many interested parties would be willing to join a pending suit against NetApp? Keep in mind they will claim we were highly exempt, but the bottom line is they refused to pay us overtime because we were salaried however, our clients were charged... — read more 

ICP Rate Calculations

Now that we know the ICP rate %. How is the ICP calculated? I believe its based on your base salary plus the grade you received. Could someone give me an example ?

I can’t work somewhere when logic doesn’t apply

Left by choice 2 years ago. The $ was good and there was no threat to my job, but my health and sanity were suffering. I can’t work somewhere when logic doesn’t apply. All the good people were gone. Much happier now. I’m very grateful for the good... — read more 

Is this a competition?

Is NetApp in the running for the company with the most toxic work environment? Worst managers? Worst culture? Which is it? Because there has got to be a reason for why our work life has turned into hell in the last year or so. And I'd really like to... — read more 

Salary Hike?

What is the average salary hike in Netapp? How much percentage increase have you received in previous years (please specific your base salary to compare the salary hike %)?

ICP Rate

What are the expected ICP for this year when results are out this month? As these are based on your base salary, how much can you expect if your performance grade is 2 or 3 or 4 or 5?

Can severance be negotiated?

Somebody at the office mentioned that as an option, but it seems like a pipe dream to me. Why would NetApp be willing to negotiate severance when they're not even obligated to provide it in the first place? Am I missing something here? I'd be glad to... — read more 

When will this end?

These small layoffs are nerve-wrecking. At least when it's a major round, we know it's coming and we know it'll end in a day or two. This has no beginning and it has no end - just a never ending source of stress and anxiety. This is not good for our... — read more

More rumors April

I heard something in EMEA last week and I just wanted to confirm the rumors and how many people was impacted on each country. What about the Middle East office?

Some countries closed?

Heard a rumour today that they let go people in Czech Republic, Luxemburg, Finland and some other countries... Can anyone confirm?

Funny, sad and true

Saw this and thought of NetApp immediately: Employers are ideally looking for an employee with the wisdom of a 50 year old, the experience of a 40 year old, the drive of a 30 year old, and the pay scale of a 20 year old. While I find it funny, it's... — read more

Interesting Observation

Over the past two months, there’s apparently been a mass exodus of senior level technical staff as well as a few people in leadership roles. Resources with almost twenty years employment have left the building, this time of year. This is probably due... — read more

News on layoffs?

Has there been any news on next round of layoffs at NetApp? I've seen mentions of July and August as potential layoffs months, but there is very little additional info. Should we take the no news as good news and accept that we are safe for a while?... — read more

Support is always hit hard

Having worked at Netapp and other companies, support is always hit hard when cuts come along. The big reason is that it's very hard to justify the cost. Support was great when I was there and they paid very well for good engineers. But since support... — read more

How many in the last layoffs round?

Do we know by now how many employees were affected in the last layoffs round at NetApp? Somebody mentioned around 150, but that seems like a too low number, at least according to what I've heard through the grapevine. I could be wrong though. Do we... — read more 

Who makes the decision?

Why did we lose one of our best people to layoffs while several useless schmucks are still here? Who makes these decisions and based on which criteria? It would be really nice to know, because no matter how much I try, I can't make any sense of this... — read more 

Worst Places to Work

Does a company that is constantly chopping away at their workforce qualify for this award? If so, netapp would probably win. Senior management pay raises ahead!

May 14 layoffs at NetApp

Confirmed layoff coming week of May 14. I’m already transitioning the workloads of two resources that I know will be cut. Primarily because their compensation is higher than necessary due to piss poor leadership decisions historically. This was... — read more

If it going down in May its likely to happen on Weds 5/16 or Weds 5/23. Any more info on this? What makes those dates stand out among others? From what I have heard, most layoffs take place on Tuesday, not Wednesday, so it would make more sense for... — read more 

CSD is in shambles

The new management team overseeing Support is a bunch of Bafoons. Good luck as they sink the ship.

Severance question

If somebody who was caught in one of the last layoff rounds still visits this board, do you mind sharing how long it took to receive your severance? One of the guys I used to work with claims on Facebook he still hasn't received his, and his last day... — read more 

Uh-oh

Confirmed today that another small round is coming in April, end of fiscal year. Good luck my colleagues.

Do we know if that was it?

Anybody else nervous by the relatively small size of the latest layoff round? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it wasn't as bad as a lot of us have feared, but frankly, I'm worried that this might have been just the beginning and that more will come next... — read more

Targeted Layoffs - February 2018

The cuts seemed to be very targeted though. I know someone who's director was cut and it sounds like a few engineers. Haven't heard total numbers though.
