This is not a rumor. It's real and it's happening soon. Very unfortunate but the new normal for NetApp. Good luck to everyone.

Heard from a really solid source that Thursday, Nov 3 is the day. It is really sad that we are now doing this twice this year. Once every spring for four years straight was bad enough. Sadly much of this could be avoided if we managed and organized... — read more 

I worked at NetApp for 2 years. Was one of the first co-ops hired from the Wake Tech/NetApp collaboration. Did very well and received good praise of my work the whole time. Didn't matter though. Cut in the March 2016 RIF. The smartest thing I did was... — read more

I started in 2004, and it was a very different place. Then the brain trust decided to merge ontap and spinOS. That killed NetApp. So many bad effects came from that move. Sigh. I'm leaving anyway, so I would love a layoff. Too bad too, because my... — read more 

Calm before the storm. Major IT projects at selected sites cancelled. HR and VP's traveling to sites

Guys, believe me getting impacted is not that bad. I got impacted in march16. Got another offer within 4 weeks. Negotiated with new employer to let me join after NetApp period. Got severance from NetApp and joining bonus from new employer. Moreover... — read more 

I was a loyal employee for so many years, since the early 2000's. I don't know what motivated me to work 60+ hours a week, round the clock to accommodate Bangalore, APAC, EMEA. But I did it with a smile on my face and honestly look forward to getting... — read more 

3.5 years with NTAP, this is my 5th time missing the cut (well, at last that I'm aware of, that may change this week) but I am losing peers that I have been honored to work with. Really getting tired of good people be affected. I loved NTAP when I... — read more 

Well spoke to my boss today and he is worried as normally he has "the list" by now. They asked for his target list of people to "transform" 4 weeks ago but hasn't heard anything since. I guess we will start to know in a few days. Hope its not me, I... — read more 

They should see how unorganized whole company is. In ASUP team which is a typical MIS team. They have 2 Sr directors, one director, one sr manager, atleast 4 managers and 8 program managers. Whole team is close to 100 plus and Sunnyvale heavy. What... — read more 

Sunnyvale sent 3 mandatory meeting requests for managers for Monday and Tuesday. So we will see the axe starting from Wednesday

In another post, someone mentioned the following: "There aren't rumors of another layoff. It was stated in a publicly released transcript of an earnings call that there will be layoffs. Rumors by definition aren't verifiable. This imminent layoff is... — read more 

No boxes in the printing room. All conference rooms open.

Manager asking me to try to finish some work this week itself. Dunno if that is just a coincidence. Look out for signs like these. Is your manager trying to get to know "where you are currently with your work items"? Those might be the giveaways.

Hearing that it is nearing and may happen starting of Oct.

Appears that today is the day for the next round.

I am sure, most of you figured that out by now, but this is for the ones who didn't, reason why they're in great danger if they don't act on it right now: 1) forget about how you perform, no matter which department or line of work you're in. That was... — read more 

Fck the bullsht transformation, send all VPs, Directors and Managers to competitors. Start with Chantal Faucher. Send her useless *ss to EMC. F*ck the competitors up and saving tons of money.

Looks like NetApp CEO George Kurian sold ~48,000 shares of his stock the other day. I guess he's taking advantage of the recent spike in share price?! ~ $1.7Million ... that would be plenty to buy a nice new house :-)... — read more 

Questions are: Can it be sustained? Can he and the exec team do the same for employees?

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-cisco-systems-layoffs-idUSKCN10S05D If you jumped to Cisco from NetApp. Good luck.

I heard from sources that a layoff is to be announced at the FY17 Q1 all hands. The layoff is expected to be small but will include senior folks mostly. Are these rumors true?

In my 2 years at Netapp as a fresher, I have gone from caring so much about a company to not giving a flying f--- about it to hating it. I have seen my peers (less than 1-2 years exp) being asked to leave citing performance or whatever reasons. This... — read more

Hearing some buzz that another round is coming soon - nothing really solid, but it's believable, from pretty good sources. US anyway, haven't heard about other geos.

Local biz journals saying she is heading to Cisco on her own accord. This just fuels the rumors that we have heard for years saying Cisco could buy NetApp. She would certainly be a good candidate to head up an integration plan.

What is good for someone is not necessarily good for everybody. Sadly, the management team from Netapp UK didn't seem to understand how things work for the rest of NEMEA countries which cause a free fall year after year.
