Huawei's Harmony OS has its work cut out
Most of the purported 15,000 apps on Huawei's HarmonyOS offer limited functionality.
The company would not say how many people got walking papers, though it did say the number is fewer than the 1,250 positions it has open.
VMware confirmed it has laid off an unspecified number of employees following a series of acquisitions.
"We can confirm that there have been a limited number of changes to our workforce this month," a company spokesman said in a statement. "This is a part of regular workforce rebalancing that ensures resources across VMware's global businesses and geographies are aligned with strategic objectives and customer needs."
VMware will look to redeploy affected employees within the company, and it's also recruiting. There are currently more than 1,250 openings on VMware's career page, with "significantly more openings than the number of positions impacted this month." The company has a total 24,000 employees.
"This is not uncommon in the fast-changing technology industry," VMware adds.
