@m9+1jpc9yfqe - 9k is too much. Reduce to 7k. Management wasted so much money on irrevalant tools and technologies over the years to doom the company. There are dangerous snakes in management......Oh...yes...let us do this and that....new framework and useless tools........agile....scrum sh-t.....endless meetings......scaled agile sh-t.....new version of Python....let us use two ERPs........no vision for the company.....only for self.....only thank you emails......now AI buzzz and hype.......taking American jobs........

Remember AI will be dead like dot com bubble in few years......

Yes. Overall vmware headcount will be reduced to ~ 9k from current 16k. Welcome to reality mate....

Remember one thing: Pat G and woke agenda destroyed vmware forever......

we hates layoff, but 9.0 is out, HT needs to save huge cost to pay debt, and HT always likes high attendance rate. you know what will happen in 3 months after 9.0 is out.

I see people posting open positions in VMware/Broadcom on Linkedin. Are these fake? Why are they hiring now if they are going to layoff 60% on top of the 60% that are already had been through a layoff? We had a great quarter. The VMware revenue is up by 50% y-o-y. Head count down 60% y-o-y. We are going to celebrate by another huge layoff. The stock is up 45% in the past year. Thanks everyone for working hard.

"They just want to keep high quality labors regardless of cost."
It is funny. Read it again after three months.

50% of P6+ will be gone. Cheap labor are safer.

Is it your wish? BC doesn't want cheap later. They kept removing cheap later like P2, P3, and H1B. They just want to keep high quality labors regardless of cost.

Changing head of divisions will make layoff easier and heavier, because new bosses don't have concern on old relationship with senior folks. Half of them will be gone.

Buckle up normies. You are going to get fired. HT can only afford to have a few dancing dogs entertain him now. 90 billion paid for VMware. 45 billion cash pulled out. Straddled with 60 billion debt. The credit spreads are exploding higher in 2025 as the economy goes to shiiiit. There is no need to pay so much for a lot of people if the company is going bankrupt soooooon.

Does it matter who runs what division? Are these positions infinitely useless that anyone can run these divisions? Why do they keep moving people between divisions so much? Does it really matter what division does what? You show up everyday and do whatever the division is supposed to do that day and go home. What a shiiiittt show.

  1. 0 - make everyone work hard to create it, then fire everyone and send support to a 5th world country.

Done and done.
