The OP is right. It’s clearly a stealth furlough to shave some $$ money near term, then they do job redundancies after the furlough to keep things going until normalcy occurs in late 2021.
The sad part is so many olde people work for Broadcom, they have no choice. That’s why the Tan-man doesn’t hire young people, they would have left by now.
I guess things could be worse...just be extremely vigilant in office is all we can do. Beats working at the supermarket checkout counter...those people are out on the front-line.
I trust my co-workers who aren’t feeling well to stay home. I’m more concerned with the asymptomatic people.
We get unlimited PTO. So my lawyer said to submit for time off until we can work at capacity without masks. Otherwise if they cannot provide clean air to breathe they will be liable. He said all it takes is 1 person to get this virus after one of our colleagues tests positive. Just 1 even if they didn’t catch from office if they worked in same office as that first positive case, then Broadcom is toast. He said if my indefinite pto or working from home is denied and subsequently fired.. I can sue for 1 year of salary until the age of 68. Broadcom knows this and will be providing a artful way to management on how to push back on these requests. Don’t take management lip it’s just recycled legal talking points. Who’s with me?
I think it’s an interesting experiment to see how two parties, Broadcom leadership & employees who are completely distrusting of each other, can reconcile on an issue that exposes the essence of their respective distrust. This is a test of how much money it takes for full-time employees to do something they know is wrong for someone they know they can’t trust. For those employees who willing sell themselves, the associated research data will be helpful in a college case study to teach MBA students about the profiling; how far people will go; and economics of professional prostitution and why/how Broadcom leadership believed that professional prostitution was required as part of their business model. Fascinating.
Dunno. I left end of last year but an ex left a voicemail Friday night about some work shifts, unpaid leave and surgical masks...Sounds like a clusterF but not unexpected.
I’m on leave, what happened?
