Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Exodus is continuing

Broadcom won't have to pay any severance if people keep leaving at this pace. On Friday, two more of my teammates said they accepted offers and that they'd let our manager know this week. That's five total so far. My team is not that big so this will not go unnoticed. The next few months will be interesting.

Darker shades of wealthy black
turn to sinking red,
the world you knew abandons you,
just like the nay-sayers said.
You've got no leg to stand on,
can't reap what's not been sown,
crash course in reality,
how's it feel being on your own?

Faces with their leering smiles,
look like wolves at prey,
sizing up their latest game,
before it's time to play.
You've got no home to run to
and your dollars number few,
bitter flavor of reality,
it all falls down on you.

Pleading loud to change it all,
making it your cause...
sorry kid, the world goes on
by strict, unchanging laws.
The choice to face it always comes,
and better it comes quick,
the longer you fake reality
the more you're screwed by it.

Another director in CIBG and Sr Sales Director in Amer going this month.

Hiring may be slower in a few tech sectors but medical and energy and security are still jumping.

VMware people are in demand.

If you are staying because you like your work or your team, or even because you want to see what happens, thank you :) We do need the help! If you can talk a few brave souls into coming over and joining during the uncertainty, consider a sales role!

I'm optimistic that with <4% unemployment in the US there will still be plenty of opportunities this time next year if the company changes too radically after close.

Mr Exodus. Can you give us a clue regarding your BU or Geo or Product? What areas are in Exodus?
As in CS in the UK. I'm seeing no external attrition in the teams, any movement is internal and being back filled by external job adverts.
