Day 1 will be Nov 4th, Reduction in Force, Transition or Term. BRCM will let you know by about 9am thru email. They are decisive and brutal but you will know quickly if you have employment or not.
Good luck to everyone, plenty of opportunity out here!
So in EU they autotransfer everyone and RIFs starts after moving to BRCM. In my site they plan around 50% in 3-6 months
A lot of us hope this is true as they are supposed to give Symantec severance. I know this might sound extremely ungrateful to those who haven’t received offers but given the disparity in offers between teams lots of people want out and severance would be nice.
It’s a lie !!!!!
Why would Broadcom extend an offer to someone only to fire them on November 4? That makes no sense. Broadcom committed to taking a certain number of people. If Broadcom later decided they didn’t want some of those people, they simply would not have extended an offer to them. These people would have been RIF’d by Symantec and Broadcom would have been responsible for paying Symantec for the severance costs.
This may not be true in countries outside the US because of local labor laws, but it is definitely the case in the US.
