Broadcom replied the Union and announced that the list was reduced to 12 people. No names, no new details, but you can be sure they did that because people are leaving and they don't need to fire all them.

Symantec ( Broadcom) customers are furious with the level of technical support they are receiving. The goodwill SYM earned has been thrown into the trash can in a matter of few months. It’s all a mess ! Employees in technical support too are fed up... — read more 

So, many of us still have NLOK stocks and the special 12$ dividend is coming. Should we wait or sell before (to avoid the dividend tax) ? What about the McAfee rumour ?

No news or gossips? What has happened?

Bright new future ahead!! Looking forward for great stuff!!

Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas 🤶 peace of mind in Draper 😇

It's a win win win win situation.

What’s the latest update folks ! Any updates to share with the rest of what’s happening?

Heard many not accepting the offer ? What’s the latest update

If you decline the offer will you get Severance- what is the HR policy on this

The final headcounts have been complete for a few weeks now and all offers have gone out. For most of us the deadline to return offers is this week or next week. If you didnt recieve one I would be looking for a new job over xmas :(

They say one thing and do another ! I’m done with this BS

Does anyone have details about the sh–ty show in Ireland? We heard that everybody declined to Broadcom's offer and preferred to leave. Is there any details?

23 in total. Managers officially don't know exact names ;-) Try to ask your for them your beloved win, win, win manager. He 'maybe' knows :-D

Any region got their offer letters? FYI colleagues in TUPE will receive delayed offers.

Curious to know because it was expected this week !

I need to say that it was worth waiting. No rise here, but amount of stock, at least for senior position is good enough to cover weekends. If we will be still paid for weekends it would be great.

Well if it takes even longer to be able to process any order no one will have a job left.

Why are you attending this stupid, useless meetings? Enjoy this period where you can do whatever you want and find a new job! I won't be surprised if you find a new place better than this pigpan!

Dear Santa Hock, for Christmas this year I want to be fired and get that sweet 6 months salary compensation. Best regards, Your employee.

RSU, babe! Broadcom has to distribute the RSU until 15/12. So, until 15/12 Strategic people will receive the contract and RSU and for Enterprise Santa Hock will give us a temporary contract to work more 6 months in this mess.

Screw the contract! Update your profile on LinkedIn and find a new job! Do you really think that managers are waiting for the contract? No one is waiting, the ship is sinking!

Warsaw, you guys supporting Enterprise customers will receive the temporary contract until Dec 15th. No worries, no one survives, all you'll have to look for a new job. Strategic will go later, no worries. Look the bright side, maybe you'll find a... — read more 

That's a strategy even when you have a secured job , you can have a nice job and still losing skills. To not lose skills you need to do something that you love not something you are obliged to do. Most of our IT guys working at Symantec when you... — read more

That’s it.

Nonsense, there isn't paradise! But Normal companies don't do what Broadcom and Symantec did to their employees. This is terrorism and pure lack of management. They don't know what to do!

Expect this on or around 11 Dec . The December list will be out next week. Transition folks be prepared! FYI the RIF for day 2 ..for folks at Broadcom is being finalised.

The most inept , incompetent and clumsy HR team. Whoever is left behind are so clueless about everything . Ask them anything one standard reply ! It’s becoming so horrible to just stay behind either at CBU or on transition.

All I know from this change and from my colleagues who already left us , that no matter where you go there will be a part of you not satisfied and you will say that BRCM still was a great place where i had my zone of comfort. No matter money ... — read more
