As a former VMware employee this is just sad.

VMware was a great place to work, with a lot of people who cared about what they were building and supporting, and now it’s just a hollowed out vulture capitalist’s pump and dump. Anybody with any sense is migrating to alternatives, if they haven’t already.

Said it the day Broadcom bought them, they’re going to squeeze the smaller customers out. This behavior is by design.

Soon, they’ll be ending their business with their highest tier ones as well!
