You guys really need to relax and focus on WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL. What does griping, complaining, and worrying about all of this do for anyone? Nothing at all. Regardless, this thing is happening and we should honestly all be grateful we still have jobs. Too many people being laid off over the past couple of years to fuss about an acquisition....
At the end of the day, none of us can do a damn thing, so just work hard and prove your value to the company - or resign and stop being such a downer.

Dude what on earth do you do for a living? Anyone in tech who isn't a complete bonehead has been profiting from the most positive job market in decades over the past 2 years, not being laid off. So either you're a bonehead, or you're being disingenuous here. Are you some sort of VMware VP being bonused on retention during this whole thing?
Let the people post! It makes them feel better and validates some lurkers.
Maslow wasn’t wrong :-). This VMware/BC stuff is stepping on some of his needs.
I agree, these boards are not official communications (although as someone pointed out in an earlier post, most of what is posted here turns out to be accurate). I enjoy seeing what people are saying and thinking, and laugh from time to time at the absurdity of some of it, but I am learning more from here than any internal communication from our leadership.
In case you haven't figured it out, the purpose of these boards is to vent, gripe, console, inform, pontificate, etc. Where else can we do this safely and anonymously? It's weirdly comforting to know we're in this together.
