Pivotal facing layoffs ahead of $2.7 billion VMware acquisition - Business Insider

"VMware and Pivotal are working together to ensure our combined organization will be structured for success," a VMware spokesperson said. "We look forward to welcoming Pivotal team members to VMware and beginning the integration efforts when the transaction closes, and are excited to combine Pivotal's development platform, tools and services with VMware's infrastructure capabilities to help customers build, run and manage modern applications.

As we contemplate becoming VMware employees and stockholders, we are considering important questions.

Beyond this functional-understanding concern, it's important for you to understand the morale impact of this decision on those employees to whom you intend to retain. Every employee you want to retain has been impacted by the unparalleled kindness of the people in Pivotal's mature and integrated Workplace Operations practice.

We admire these VMware values. They hew close to our own guiding principles, which drew many of us to Pivotal and which have kept us here.If you do not, we need the following questions addressed as we consider our future actions: Workplace Operations goes beyond a "front desk" job. We count on these Pivots to maintain the structure, facilities, systems, processes and not least the ​feel​ of the office. The resulting environment forms a ​key mechanism Pivotal Labs uses to liberate client developers from the blinders of their status quo. Labs is critical to both customer and product success.

VMware appears to be taking a dictatorial approach on details of the acquisition. This approach is harmful; it appears leaders we have trusted are being brushed aside and made ineffectual. ​Pivotal is challenging the status quo and asking that you rethink this approach.​ What will you do to make future decisions in a way that treats Pivotal leadership as peers, colleagues and friends?
