Latin American & Colombia layoffs
Got a word that just 3 out of over 60 people are left in Colombia. They got rid of the majority of people in Latin America including Brasil.
Should we expect band downgrading for all CA?
I see a number of CA employees have already changed linkedin titles, such as from CA directors to now, Broadcom Managers, VPs to Director, etc. Should we all expect downgrading in title and/or band?
Software Factory to be sold off?
It appears Broadcom have heavily geared this reorg to mainframe only. When will the software division be sold off or will it be sold in pieces?

How is it going inside?
I was one of the people laid off last week, and I am not bitter and thankful to Broadcom for letting me go. I got equity and severance and a month off before I start my new job in December. Everything worked out exactly the way I hoped it would and I... — read more
My department has been decimated
Not sure why they kept the few of us. There's very little we can do with this number of people. It's really hard to figure out the logic behind this move. Unless they are just behind on sending out our notifications and we'll soon learn we're also... — read more
Demotions?
I'm currently more worried about possible demotions and pay cuts than layoffs, to be honest. I'm thinking once everybody they wanted out is out, there might be some serious restructuring in positions and pay grades. Do we know if this is a... — read more

Starting a new job during WARN
Reading through all the material and the only place they really say you cant start a new job during WARN is in the FAQs. If someone signs the separation agreement it does not appear they are contractually obligated to have notified Broadcom of... — read more

Thanks Trump
If you never intervened and allowed Broadcom to buy Qualcomm, CA would have been kept whole. Who am I kidding, Bikeboy cared more about digits in his bank account more than the company. He would have found a buyer eventually.
Just to confirm
Everybody who is being laid off was already notified of it? I don't work at CA but my dad does, and it's very hard getting some things out of him.

Severance
In California isn't there a rule that when you get laid off you get 2 months severance? Plus 2 weeks per year of service? I am not given the 2 months. I hear people in New York get 3 months!
Broadcom jumped the shark
I feel bad for you folks. Especially since there was zero reason for HT to buy CA. This is Broadcom jumping the shark. Just to buy a company because you can. Broadcom is semiconductors at the heart of it. The mainframe SW biz is completely different... — read more

Customer Success Teams
Heard some folks from services are moving to a new CS role tied to Engineering but how about previous customer success role? Has Broadcom kept it?
Is this true?
Its not a stay letter, just a standart mail. I also got this mail this morning (germany) and got my termination a couple of hours later. So it is NOT a stay letter. You will have a call with your manager if you stay and with HR for the rest. People... — read more
