How's the office morale?

In VMware's support department the morale continues to drop globally due to band-aid like corrections to the systems and tools for the employees. Centers are pitted against each other and each center has their own systems, processes, and tools that are always in development but there is no global cohesiveness which continues to lead to devastating breakdown for both VMware and their customers. Morale has also dropped since the beginning of 2016 due to the massive layoffs which primarily consisted of the highest paid and most technical resources, further leading to an increase in tribal knowledge and concern for further layoffs of Sr. Staff.

Round of layoffs yesterday where they axed entire teams and moved work to lower cost centers. The morale is pretty low here at the moment. They keep referring to the severance packages that they gave people as a "soft landing", which just feels like a terrible euphemism.

Mostly good. In our heavily over-worked groups though, it's a little burnt out.
