Carbon Black and Velo “BDRs” are technically SDRs at VMware and not affected

This is true, all the AMER BDRs (contractors) will be phased out starting in Q4. AMER and EMEA Tanzu BDRs will move into SDR roles. EMEA and AMER BDR agencies will be terminated starting in Q4. APJ BDRs will largely remain the same. We all should help the folks displaced

It isn't mass amounts of people posting on social media. It is account development reps (similar to sdrs, but they work with account managers). If you don't work in this sector, you probably aren't connected with the prior leader who posted, and the group of reps who have open to work banners on. Not everyone broadcasts to the world that they just lost their job. No need to get hostile here.

There is nothing in social media. How petty someone has to be to propagate false information.

Hey, I actually did see some social media posts regarding bdrs and sdrs looking for work. Maybe it only impacted some and not all.

There's literally no one talking about it on social media. You're full of 💩. Have some respect for you fellow human beings.

Nothing is confirmed and none or it is true. This is exactly how it’s gonna go when the deal closes. Nothing is going to happen. Stop messing with people’s lives

Can’t see any chatter on Slack about this.
Would have thought it be all over the Broadcom group.

For those asking how they know it's confirmed. People are posting on social media and they are all bdr. Leaders are also posting to help those impacted.

You have to be a complete a** to come on here and troll like this. You either know info or you don't. Don't mess with bdrs and sdrs. They already have a difficult job as it is.

Bdr = business development rep
Sdr = sales development re

No idea what op is referring too when he mentions c1 and c2. Dude straight up posted some tea and bounced.
