Keep the cuts going. VMware would do Silicon Valley a favor, by dropping the entire Bangalore team, and stop shipping software jobs overseas. I am especially happy to here about the so-called "high-level directors and senior managers" ... Time for a diet!

In addition, Palantir should start reviewing the VMware campus, and free up the Palo Alto downtown for upcoming startups.

Change is good.

@Concerned Citizen and Vivek

How are new start-ups going to move into downtown Palo Alto when the mayor has just stated that "software" is not an acceptable business for downtown? What start-ups that do not involve writing software do you think are going to move to Palo Alto?
