Now that the writing is on the wall in permanent marker, if leadership doesn't put something out soon, they really are tone deaf and should be the first to be get the axe.

Management is completely out of touch and this confirms it for me. There were “rumblings” of other offers (yes, with an s) according to management. Now it’s confirmed to me it’s all sh-t talk, just like the “it’ll be fine” talk. Not saying management is lying, but it’s all wishful thinking, they dont know!

Not surprised. Sad to see where this is going and deeply disappointed with our board and senior leaders for the sell out to Broadcom. Expected VMware to be sold again but earlier than thought and not to BC where the cuts will be brutal

No surprises here. Sadly, there is no other company around that would pay more for our offerings. Broadcom is overpaying because they know they can cut really deep.
