The place is about to get nuked
Why do you think that? A majority of the company will not be impacted, and many will come out of this better than before. Why should they not celebrate successes?
I'm also seeing a few VMW people posting on LinkedIn about their job promotions.

Hiring freeze just started Oct 1, and new folks have to join I think by either last Friday or the 13th, I forget which.

Resume harvesting is a common practice. Once the AVGO HR team takes over, and all the older and more expensive VMW employees are let go, then they'll use those CVs to hire replacements where needed. This is the Private Equity model that Hock has adopted.

There was a recent internal update on this topic... go have a read and stop fishing.
