For some it’s 4th Nov
For some it got pushed out at the last moment TBD
For some no information - most likely calendar year end
Some got offers from Broadcom some from CA
Common sense would have a consistent global approach and take over date.
Transition folks left suspended in mid air with no idea of what’s their way or what to expect !
Confusion compounded by chaos !
Having gone through this before with another large acquisition, I can promise you this is normal. With so many regulatory regimes you just can't have 1 date everywhere. Yes Broadcom's rush has made things worse as they screwed up TUPE in some places, but the general idea of staggered transfers is not unusual at all.
Nov 4th is the first day of Broadcom financial year. They really had tried. It's the issue with the regulators. North America has less protection for employee. That's why some of Europe needs to wait. Everyone in NA is in transition mess
