Amy’s “Ask the Exec” session was absolutely useless. I understand that she doesn’t want to speak about Broadcom’s benefits, but I know that several questions have submitted regarding the termination of employees’ Symantec benefits that were not... — read more
TUPE
Can anyone explain how the TUPE process affects offers in the UK? Art seemed to say it means we might not get offers until after close. I understand it’s some kind of negotiation, but who negotiates on behalf of the employees?
How many of you are going crazy in this endless waiting game ?
How to cope up with this problem? Should I take any medication or therapy? Please suggest some solutions.
RFPIO Tool
Anyone at Symantec know anything about this? CA is trying to integrate to support the Sales Teams.
Offer letters
Draper is getting their offer letters very soon probably by this week or next week. Any other location follows after that?

I posted a comment on the thread with the title called "We as Americans, where is our pride??" and it can no longer be accessed. 404 error. Anyone else getting the same?

Benefits at Broadcom
What are the regular employee benefits at Broadcom on top of rsus, private pension and health insurance? Do they offer ESPP? Gym / fitness membership? Food subsidies? Anything else?
account list
Anyone privy to the focussed accounts as yet? Got a couple of friends in CA who are aware of some of them although I haven’t received any info.
Why would you care about any office?

Whats the news about Dublin?
Whats the news about Dublin? Hearing that Broadcom employees (if any) are going tot he tower. No news yet re other functions. A lot of p-ss-d off people here. Communication is shockingly bad.

Broadcom Culture ?
Wondering how our life going to be post-Symantec? Does Broadcom organise social events, team building, luncheon, parties ? Or the experience would be like working in a “Dictator organisation” ?
Status of layoff?
What's the status for layoff? This came in light that IT Started recieving call for CBU. List for CBU IT will be this week maybe but what about the rest of folks. CBU is enforcing on the IT to stay in India or outside India?
Bonus for transferred employees post close
It was confirmed yesterday that employees moving to Broadcom would receive a bonus post close. It's 75% Pro Rata. Might anyone know, particularly Broadcom staff, how that is calculated. Is it for example, 75% of say 20% of annual wage or 10% of... — read more

Question about severance
What happens to employees who remain at Broadcom for let's say a year after the acquisition is finalized and are then laid off? Will the new company count their previous years with Symantec when calculating their severance or will they only be... — read more

If one starts at 12,000 and Norton keeps 2500 and Enterprise keeps 4500, then the total RIFs is approximately 5000. The question is: how many of the 5000 have been notified already - I've heard between 1000 and 2000 - and how many more are there to... — read more

What's the end game here?
What does Broadcom plan to do with Symantec? It's obvious keeping employees was not part of their plans, but what is? I'm genuinely curious...

Any info on this location? Will the Support function remain here ? Can someone share something? We are waiting desperately.
