There are 2 categories of customers: Strategic and Enterprise. If you spend a sh– load of money with Symantec, you're a strategic and Broadcom will make its employees to lick your balls if it's needed to fix issues, and you have Enterprise, 80% of... — read more 

This is the 4th week as Broadcom and no contract. No one knows the new salary, benefits and UK Payroll f—ed up and people in Warsaw haven't received the salary! WTF!?

September 2018 Starboard Value picks up 500$ million stake in the company when the share price is around 18$ to 19$ . They get a buy in right to the board and arm twist the board to seats mainly to have voting rights . Considering they are getting... — read more 

Does Broadcom really care about owning a security business? I doubt it because if they did then why would they have sold veracode to Thoma Bravo for 950 million immediately in November 2018 after the CA deal closure . Only to acquire another security... — read more 

How is possible? Broadcom spent US$10B buying Symantec and can't make the first salary payment happen? They pushed us to update the bloody Workday, " you have to update your bank stuff until today to have you salary!", and nothing. I was afraid to... — read more 

I just shipped back my phone and computer. I’ve never felt so free! Send me my severance!

Welcome all Symantec employees, to what might possibly be the worst 'software' vendor in the world. When is a software company not a software company? When it's run by a company with no knowledge of how to run anything other than the sale of... — read more 

WIN WIN WIN! The WAW office is built upon the famous "N—rian scam". Managers will delight you with a big prize if you do "the right thing" and if you "reset your expectations", as they like to say. Obviously, this never comes. Often you hear... — read more 

Couple of takeaways- TSA accelerated ..from whatever they showed they plan to be done with this TSA business by February end. They have kept aside an extended buffer duration for 2 months but it is unlikely they will go that far. We are in the 60 day... — read more 

I’m in sales. 98+% of my peers were told on 11/12 that they were terminated and tomorrow would be their last day.  However I was told I was on a list to transition the business until January. Yet no one knows what I am to be doing. I’ve talked with... — read more 

This manager said months ago this is a win, win, win deal, all win, no matter what! Now we see people being pushed to work in different areas, no support, manager giving no hope. Run for your life's.

Whatever ! im personally coming to do my task and leave at the end of the day , i don't care and most important i expect a salary end of each month while planning for the Great Escape. Everyone in my team will leave soon!! Buenas noches ! — read more 

We started the 3rd week as Broadcom and nothing from them. Where is the paper? Where is annual bonus? Where are those equal or even better benefits? These managers from Warsaw just lie and lie.

Do you know that a company cannot hold back their employees in TSA without signing a CONTRACT!! Stated in US labor law. In some instances, a buyer may not be in a position to have benefit plans to cover newly acquired employees at closing... — read more 

Symantec dumbest mistakes causing misery to everyone. First foremost Symantec is purely shhhiiit! Symantec support is now terrible, they've removed their web chat and lost most of their good engineers. Their newly acquired BlueCoat product is in... — read more 

I wanted severance and to be free of this sh$t show. No such luck. I even asked boss to give my job to someone else. They wouldn’t listen. My objective is to work as little as possible to get laid off within 12 months timeframe. It’s not who I am... — read more

Anyone at Broadcom know the severance formula? The 8-K SEC form says Symantec is responsible for paying severance to any transfer employee terminated within 90 days post close. I'm wondering how the Broadcom severance compares after the 90 days. — read more 

Soon Broadcom won't need to fire people from the office in Warsaw. Almost everyday there's someone announcing he/she is leaving. I hope someone stay to switch off the lights.

Nobody will tell you anything until your time is due to squeeze the last drop out of you. If manager tells you will be axed in a month, you will sit there not doing any work.

None of the managers have clues on this matter! How long we will be on TSA? Where is the contract?

Anyone know when we will see this payout?

Did anyone get any details on their TSA yet? is there a contract? i've heard nothing. also, how many were let go day one that didn't have a TSA? How long do we have before we reach our expiry date?

The TSA stipulates that your length can be up to 6 months which essentially means any time between now and 6 month. I'm also in TSA and not holding my breath that they will keep me for 6 months. My head is on the table.

we have no idea, we are going to the second week and know nothing. This is especially terrible for us selected to support Enterprise, a manager said we can be fired in 6 months. And also Managers keep saying they don't know and there is no one from... — read more 

I hate it say it and I sincerely hope it doesn’t happen, but I think Vincent is going to run NLOK into the ground. When all is said and done, Lifelock may be the only part of NLOK left standing. Vincent is in way over his head. Anybody can come... — read more 

I would say stop with paranoia and enjoy this period, no one is pushing you, you can go to work at any time, go home when you want and no bosses, because no one knows who is your boss. Isn’t that awesome!? Enjoy like a vacation!

There's nothing about running NLOK into the ground. Rick took care of Enterprise, now Vincent will polish up NLOK and make it nice and shiny before it's getting sold to investors or maybe even some competitor.

What will happen to tsa employees? Where you will move us ?

I’m in Broadcom now. Do I still get the dividend?

Broadcom-er treating new folks well ? This is your honeymoon period! Kiki

Why the situations are so messy ?? Who is my boss ? Where is my location?? Why Im working from home without directions and taking free salary??

Those being selected will be notified in the coming weeks. This includes moving to a different country. Just be prepared mentally. This is individual choice and will not be forced.

This is from the internal source. Those that reporting under CTO, Hugh Thompson will be highly targeted. Moving over from EBU just to save your a–. doesn’t guarantee anything. Embrace your time for now.

As expected Rick Hill tweaks the leadership and makes his hand picked man CEO . The clown becomes the king! Good luck CBU folks - Starboard is going to screwup whatever is left of Symantec , sell it off make billions out of millions and walk away... — read more 

Round 1 next week. Good luck.
