I wonder what "small" severance charge means? Much smaller layoff (than in recent past) maybe?

I am fairly certain that layoffs are coming in the new year - either Jan or Feb. Announcement before the Q3 results announcement to get a lift-off.

Rumors are that key management talent at Dell storage at Bangalore will be nuked soon. These are ex Netapp superheroes. Maybe Netapp can hire them back.. If that happens Dell team will be humbled.

Is it true they will do layoffs in November? Again? I heard this from three different people (engineers - no managers or up)... What do you think?

Guys, this is a DYING company, please open the window and take a look at the vivid outside world! An entry level engineer is paid WAY much more than a senior here. Grandfather technology, infamous management team, non-programing tech lead, if you... — read more 

Agree that this rumor surfaces pretty much every year. Given NetApp's current market cap of 11.5 B it would be by far the largest acquisition in the history of Cisco. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Cisco_Systems Very unlikely... — read more

I am sure there are layoffs going but they are small so it doesn't meet the bar where there has to be a email from the top. Also I am sure who ever posted the layoffs for the 5th and now the 13th will post a new one for the 20th. So take these with a... — read more 

It's happening again. Say goodbye. These are occuring the day before yearend commission compensation announcements. I say bring it.

My manager and I discussed merit increase but there is complete silence on ICP. Has it been paid out? When will it be paid ?

While its not AMD or Nvidia (or maybe even Oracle), the company is on a positive track. Haters might as well start digging their own grave since they can't move on with reality. The latest rounds of cuts did great things for the company and while... — read more 

If revenue meets goals, no layoffs, if there is a miss. Because revenue is lagging a little I guarantee execs will be getting wacked. I guarantee people like Roger Anderson and some of the other legacy VPs will be gone by the end of the summer, if... — read more 

What do you guys think - when will be the next big round of layoffs? I know, it's all rumors now, just polling what folks think.

Coming here to discuss layoff rumors makes sense. Coming here to bloviate on a company being a leader in storage in a world of cloud or full vendor solutions is pointless. Storage is a commodity technology now. It will not solve a companies business... — read more

NetApp #1 Flash Provider in the world.

There is quite a bit of talk now about a May 17 date. Is anyone else hearing the same date?

I don't know why, it's a total crap company and product. Heard from multiple sources since the NIMBLE sale, Pure is going for pennies on the dollar and NTAP is putting them out of their misery.

Looks like OCI is the first in the mey-lay

Someplace in one of these posts there was one that talked about NetApp hiring. So I took a look at the job postings. Worldwide NetApp has 307 jobs posted. Of that 144 are at a large corp center (Sunnyvale NB Nane RTP or PTC). Of those I count just... — read more
