Nutanix will furlough many of its employees as the enterprise software company reels from the COVID-19 crisis. The San Jose-based company is furloughing at least 1,500 employees in California, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining, or WARN notice, filed with the state. That's nearly a quarter — about 24% — of the its 6,100 employees worldwide.  Nutanix has not disclosed the number of employees that it is furloughing outside California, Jennifer Massaro, a senior public relations director, told Business Insider.  Affected US employees will take two week-long unpaid furloughs in the next six months, the company said. Employees outside the US will also be asked to take two weeks of voluntary unpaid leave in the next six months. "I can confirm that the number included in the WARN notice includes senior executives at our San Jose headquarters," Massaro said.  The furloughs were first reported by CRN. "Our philosophy as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic is to do the 'most good' with the least amount of harm for all of our employees, and these actions will help us achieve that," Massaro added.  The affected employees will keep their benefits and remain employed by Nutanix, she said. On Monday, Nutanix, which provides software that makes it easier for companies to manage their networks in the cloud and in private data centers, withdrew its financial outlook for its fiscal year which ends in July citing the "uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic." The company is expected to report its quarterly earnings on May 27.  Got a tip about Nutanix or another tech company?
