Your fears??? Dude, stop.
You don't have "fears"... you either already know you're not making the cut and are too stubborn to admit it, or you are simply not paying any attention.
Broadcom WILL focus on the top accounts and WILL use as few resources as possible to do it. They have been clear about this from day one. Look at what the official posts say on Yammer. Look at what Broadcom has a pattern of doing. Look at the posts here where multiple people have confirmed the content. You already know this is a fact.
Broadcom runs an extremely lean ship. They expect lots from the people they employ, but they pay them well for doing it.
Profitable products will stay for now. They will be labeled as CA, a Broadcom Company.
Most all security and mainframe will go to Broadcom. They will be managed by current leaders in the security and mainframe BU's.
Sales will be cut drastically as small/medium customers will be turned over to partners.
Base salaries should go up. IC will drop. You may get a retention bonus that will pay out over four years.
Commissions will be paid quarterly, not monthly.
Expect strong amounts of AVGO stock if you perform well. Expect to be dismissed quickly if you don't.
Recent acquisitions that still operate as their own business units will most likely be sold off. Vericode, Atomic, Blazemeter, etc. They may be trendy but they are not profitable in the big scheme of things.
Broadcom outsources most support and services. GIS will be gutted as Google and hardware vendors provide support for Broadcom's hardware and email/office suite.
Support will most likely go to offshored companies in India and the Philippines.
Most services will go to partners, especially for small/medium customers.
The top few performing employees in those groups will be kept by Broadcom to VIP service the much smaller customer base they keep.
You probably worked hard and tried to make a difference while management took all they could until they cherry-picked their golden parachutes. S---s, but buck-up camper, welcome to the real world. Talk all you want but you would have done the same thing if you were in their shoes.
We are living in a material world and we are all material girls. Or boys.
You will know your official fate in about 13 days. You can A) keep coming to this site and hoping someone tells you what you want to hear to make you feel good, or, B) update your resume and start lining up new opportunities, maybe even getting some double-dip action in the meantime.
Your fate is in YOUR hands. NOT CA's, NOT Broadcom's. NOT anonymous posters on a gossip board.
Now, go drink away your sorrows and cry into your pillow as you fall asleep tonight.
Then, wake up tomorrow, have some strong coffee, put on your big boy pants, and go make your parents proud.
In the words of the Notorious B.I.G.
If I wasn't in the rap game
I'd probably have a key knee-deep in the crack game
Because the streets is a short stop
Either you're slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot
Sh--, it's hard being young from the slums.
Now, hate me all you want but you know I'm right.
Come back here in a year and reply with how much happier you are.
I'll be proud of you.
PEACE. I'm out.
And starting a new job tomorrow WHILE I collect my last few checks from CA.
