Even if you got an offer, you're still not safe. If you're here after 12 months pass, then you can consider yourself safe. Until then, you still have a good chance of being shown the door. If you don't believe me, go read through the older CA Technologies threads. That'll make it clearer.

You can say u are safe after you retired
What I’ve heard:
‘‘Day 1’ - approx 25-30% layoffs
‘Day 2’ (April/May 2024) - approx 10-15% layoffs (most of these will be transitional roles)
‘Day 3’ (12-18 months after close) approx another 10-15% layoffs
So OP possibly isn’t wrong, worth considering if you get a letter and evaluating your options.
Tell us you didn't get an offer without telling us you didn't get an offer

The AVGO executive culture is to keep employees living in fear. They're not the only tech company that adopted this approach, but they perfected it. You are disposable.
"I don't work for sh-t companies with megalomaniac bosses."
You work for Dell - so your statement is suspect
The majority are technically unemployed. All VMware contracts are null and void. I think its quite obvious we are not safe. Personally don't care, I'll be leaving regardless. I don't work for sh-t companies with megalomaniac bosses.
Cool, enjoy your unemployment
Ex CA employee here. Even after 12 months you are not safe.
