Thread regarding Broadcom Corp. layoffs

I could not get an exemption so I caved because I could not find a new job in time. I hate this place even more now and I hope I can find something new the moment after I get the bonus. I have no desire to work for this awful place anymore. Maybe the hardware side is different but ESD and MSD are the worst.

Did anyone get an exemption? Mine were denied after tons of back and forth with that HR btch I hate this company! They waited until last minute!

3 emails about the mandate deadline in one day! Its just gonna get worse

HR already has the list of anyone who refused the jab. They are not responding to people requesting exemptions so they are going to fire without cause be prepared. They probably looking for remote jobs. There's a guy at my office talking about how he wants to WFH some days because of interviews and he'll just say he's sick.

Broadcoms model is all about acquiring bloated old companies and screwing the hapless customers of those companies to the maximum extent possible. Since those customers can't switch off your product overnight, they end up paying BIG.

Unfortunately the problem with this model is employees hate it and good employees will leave, so you need to pay them BIG.

However, what do you do when your'e customers come up to end of contracts, but you still have to pay employees? Darn, laying off those employees is EXPENSIVE.

Simple, use the COVID mandates as an excuse to fire employees for "cause", meaning you don't have to pay their entitlements.

You can be sure that our friends in the HR department will be paid big dollars to hunt down every last "anti-vaxxer" in the company and terminate them for "cause".

He has ba--- which is why upset about coercion. Job market does not matter if other companies do the same thing.

Grow some ba--s buddy....or find a new job. The market is white hot...if you're any good...

Same last week but now half of them already caved to the coercion so it will end up being less than 5% that Octane won’t think twice about firing

This is serious stuff. I have 5 directs who said they will leave without hesitation.

Octane is not on your side

Precautions? Half the company was working remote making them record profits and productivity and they had a few people running around spraying door handles and drawers while the other half in cubicles on webex calls.

JB got 81 million votes and he's the most popular candidate in history yup no fraud whatsoever!

leave if you don't like it. you have freedoms and choices.

also broadcom took a sheet load of precautions over the last year...

i suppose you believe the election was riggged too. and in PizzaGate...?

Hock doesn't care about you or your health he only cares about money and growing the stock price and whatever China wants. Nothing wrong with looking out for yourself in this hot market. If you want a company that cares about employees you must go elsewhere.

Are you serious? Hock hopes you quit or die so that he does not have to pay severance. You are a expense on a balance sheet, nothing more. He wants you gone, nothing more.
