Brian has always been somewhat of an agent provocateur

That's pretty eye opening. The hard numbers make sense. Scary

Reading through this is even worse: https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1gTMqgMW

brian's not wrong on most of what he says. acquisitions is how vmware has been growing over the past many years.

Thanks for providing this. Lots of insight.

I wonder what happened for VMWare to not pay out the severance to Brian

It sounds like it was his choice to leave as gabe and jack are still there.

Because they are a bunch of greedy corporate fucks? That wouldn't "maximize shareholder value"

That's one of the few benefits about working in the non-profit sector. Not everything is a ‘business decision'.

i work for a decently large corporation, and we are the opposite of greedy corporate fucks....

To add fuel to the fire, Broadcom said on their call they expect to move vsphere from perpetual to subscription licensing. get ready to pay $12K every year for 4 hosts with standard licensing. F me!!!!!!!

well, it was always like that for VSPP, but yeah, not surprising. Citrix moved to that model as well, right?

If it's not done yet, it will be soon, yeah. Everyone’s moving their licensing to a subscription model for everything.

and they keep telling us it's better, greedy assholes!!!
