VMware 'rebalances' with layoffs that converge hyperconverged team VMware has made a round of layoffs that appear to be one of its regular consolidations but The Register has learned coincided with some internal re-organisation.

That’s just not true dude. Yes, every large organization has it’s share of idiotic managers and average middle managers who follow the corporate book. But as a result you also have entire teams that do the same thing as a team in a different org.

And then you have your share of bad hires everywhere. If some of them became managers they hired even more bad people whose only skill is to magically cling to their job no matter how many times they fuck up. We all know people like that, we have all been in situations like that.
These reorgs serve two purposes: streamline the hirarchy to better perform under changes conditions and b) to get rid of all the slackers because you grab most of the good folks and put them in open positions. If necessary, just to park them there for six months.
I have found the new breed of leadership is all about themselves. They join look at short term gain that benefit only themselves - aids their career growth and destroys high performance teams at the core of their business. They should be ashamed of themselves for creating havoc in peoples lives during times like this!
