Please give us some hints. Broadcom doesn’t like expensive office space.

RIP, whoever moved 11th floor they likely acquired by BC. 11th floor used to be symantec office
They have office in sonoko island too. Enjoy yishun or what ever ulu place they give you.. if you still have a job. Tuas is also cheap.. location, where dreams go and die
100% gone.
Likely to check the lease left and whether a sublease is possible for Suntec Office.
Below is an answer from Google Bard's best guess, based on the past history of Broadcom's acquisitions. It's for interest only, so please take it with a pinch of salt. 🤏 🧂
____________________________
Based on Broadcom's past history of acquisitions, it is most likely that VMware's Suntec office in Singapore will merge with Broadcom's office in Yishun.
Broadcom has a history of centralizing operations after acquisitions. For example, after acquiring Brocade in 2017, Broadcom closed Brocade's Singapore office and moved all employees to Broadcom's office in Yishun. Similarly, after acquiring CA Technologies in 2018, Broadcom closed CA's Singapore office and moved all employees to Broadcom's office in Yishun. Most recently, after acquiring Symantec in 2020, Broadcom closed Symantec's Singapore office and moved all employees to Broadcom's office in Yishun.
However, it is also possible that Broadcom may keep VMware's Suntec office open, especially if it is a strategic location or if it houses a significant number of employees. For example, Broadcom has kept Avago Technologies' Singapore office open after acquiring Avago in 2015. Avago's Singapore office is a strategic location for Broadcom, as it houses a significant number of employees and is close to key customers and partners.
Overall, the most likely result is that VMware's Suntec office in Singapore will merge with Broadcom's office in Yishun. However, it is also possible that Broadcom may keep VMware's Suntec office open, especially if it is a strategic location or if it houses a significant number of employees.
Here is a summary of Broadcom's past acquisitions of companies with offices in Singapore:
| Company | Acquisition date | Singapore office | Post-acquisition fate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brocade | 2017 | Closed | Merged with Broadcom's Yishun office |
| CA Technologies | 2018 | Closed | Merged with Broadcom's Yishun office |
| Symantec | 2020 | Closed | Merged with Broadcom's Yishun office |
| Avago Technologies | 2015 | Open | Kept open |
As you can see, Broadcom has a history of closing the Singapore offices of acquired companies and merging them with its own office in Yishun. However, it has also kept the Singapore office open in one case (Avago Technologies).
Based on this past history, the most likely result is that VMware's Suntec office in Singapore will merge with Broadcom's office in Yishun. However, it is also possible that Broadcom may keep VMware's Suntec office open, especially if it is a strategic location or if it houses a significant number of employees.
The Singapore office is 95% empty, 99% of the time.
Who the he-l think of office, you should worry about your job
Probably close VMWARE Singapore office and ask you guys to one of the Broadcom Singapore office. Or vice versa.
At this juncture, nobody knows. And you'll probably have better luck asking an AI that is more than happy to give you hints.
And PA, and London and Dubai and Cork, and Cairo - go and sit in a quiet corner and think about your question.
Enjoy your EPIC day, why waste time thinking about this ....
Singapore is a major hub of theirs! Not sure what will happen to our office, but Singapore as such is the place to be re Broadcom.
