The company has over 35k employees in some departments like it’s SaaS offerings these were smaller companies acquired by VMW last couple years. Some employees like it some do not. It’s a personal preference and always take churn as a percentage of employees employed

It could just be coincidence, but I definitely get where you're coming from.

Are you with VMware or a different company?

Uh oh....better think of alternatives pal

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

**I'm not in Chicago
