Thread regarding VMware layoffs

We have a mess on our hands

I understand wanting to leave to avoid whatever might be coming, but when too many people leave at once, the rest of us are stuck cleaning up the mess that's left behind. Two people handed in their resignations in the past three weeks. Our id--t manager didn't want them doing the two weeks they were willing to do because they are moving to our competitors. We're still trying to catch up on everything now they're gone. If another person leaves, I don't know how we'll handle it. This is just one big mess all around.

Don’t worry about cleaning up the mess, look at it as an opportunity for sabotage.

Definitely an everyone for themselves sort of situation. It has been for a while now, but some people are slow to realize it and keep hanging on.

As someone who is trying to leave, I truly do feel for you. But for people who don’t want to or cannot count on a fat severance package, they’ve got to look out for themselves first. There’s no upside to playing “wait and see” for many of us. I hope you can understand the counterpoint here. Best of luck, and apologies.

Not trying to be sarcastic here, but if you would like to stay at Broadcom, doing more with less is the name of the game. This way, when you are doing the work of 20 people, you will be ready for it.
