What is the speculation here for US folks... do you think it's going to be one single email Monday morning or is it going to be throughout the day? Perhaps someone familiar with previous Broadcom layoffs can comment on how BC usually does this.
I would rather have them just send out the bulk email in the morning.
These points are completely inaccurate:
In the U.S. most large employers do their layoffs in staggered waves to avoid State reporting laws regarding unemployment toals.
AVGO HR would prefer that the media, competitors, partners, and customers don't know the full depth of the upcoming VMW headcount cuts. It creates collective resentment.
The layoff numbers are going to be too large to stagger them - and they are legally required to disclose layoffs over a certain amount (they did with CA and Brocade).
Broadcom HR doesn’t care about the layoff numbers - have you been paying attention? It will not come as a shock to anyone in the world when Broadcom announces staggering layoff numbers.
Most likely Monday morning 3-6am ish EST for the US. Same as the offer and transition letters.

Also, part of the 'non-disclosure' clause in employee severance agreements limits the potential for any meaningful reveal of the true employee impact. It's a guarded secret.
Yeah, I'm going to be annoyed to have to set my alarm Monday morning just in case I don't have a termination letter and need to work.
It would be good to send them right now, so we could take advantage of related Black Friday deals/ sign up to leetcode and grind over the weekend/ etc …
