I've been notified of our office closure by email. Can somebody believe this? In today's world, where we often talk about the importance of communication and empathy in the workplace, this approach feels archaic. It's just an email - no real conversation, no support, just a few lines that disrupt lives. Honestly, coming from Broadcom, this isn't a complete shock. It aligns with what many have shared on layoff.com about the company's culture and approach to these matters. It's one thing to read about such experiences online, but it's a whole other ordeal to live it. This kind of impersonal, detached handling of major decisions seems to be a recurring theme, and it's disheartening to see it play out in real life.
Kudos to Hock Tan for boldly leading a software company with a crew skilled in mainframes and antivirus - it's like bringing a typewriter to a smartphone war. Good luck!
