Hours spent getting ready and traveling - 2
Hours spent working in office - 3
Hours spent collaborating - 0 in office (team not co located)
Hours spent on zoom meetings at home (distributed team) - 2
Lunch break - 1 hour
0 hours in office collaboration and 2 hours of wasted time in traffic. Could have used that time working.
What exactly is the logic behind dragging people 5 days a week? Can someone please explain?
Avgo will hit 1300 just because you said this.
PS: Hopes that AVGO never goes to 1100$ , even if it cost me extra $. I don't wish HT that extra bonus he is after
Are you going to provide us the play-by-play for how your second day of RTO went, or have you finally accepted that you aren’t special and that no one cares?
Doesn't the bus service provide WIFI? No excuse for not putting in, at least, a 10 hour day of productivity
Products will be shipped more slowly with 5000 people gone after 5 months of 3% attrition. Quality will go down. People will be more demoralized.
This is how I know you aren't a manager.
Labor is a direct cost. Laying off 5000 people gives a direct benefit to the bottom line. Things like "quality of product" and "morale of employees" are indirect.
As a dummy CEO, I can see the immediate impact of firing a bunch of people to the bottom line, and thus my bonus. What's the impact of "quality?" And as for morale? They can work somewhere else if they want.
CEOs will make all kinds of short-sighted, makes-no-sense decisions- to people who don't understand business.

If you don't like the RTO policy or any other policy Broadcom has in place, you are free to leave and find another employer who allows WFH. You are not a slave or a serf unless you believe you are.
VMware is history. Good or bad - it's history. Broadcom calls the shots now. Accept it and move forth - with or without Broadcom.
Has the labor force ever changed before or are we still living in a feudalistic society?
COVID happened.
Tech companies THRIVED and everyone worked from home.
Qualify of life increased for the majority of workers. There is no going back.
Unless folks like you want the old normal, in which case I suggest you go old school and work the land and pay your lord or find a new sweatshop to work in , because at one point in time that was normal.
Hybrid work is the new normal.
Wake up.
Well, before the lockdown in 2020, there was no home office allowance for the folks in Sofia. Everybody had to come to the office. If your boss agreed, you could work from home when your kid was sick or there was another urgent issue; otherwise, there was no home office policy. Now everybody cries about RTO. Come on - that's just back to normal.
@1zcy+1pUnmLXZ. you are 100% right, but I will stay as long as possible to vest as much as possible RSU before they notice I gave a sh-t about that supreme leader.
In await I will use my time to protect my customers as much as possible from BC . Because after this job , it will be my customers who will bring value to my next job.

I decided to rent with 2 homeless guys in sunnyvale for 100$ for 4 nights( mon to thursday). Friday evening i will drive back 50 miles to home. I hope my manager, director dont complain i stink
Vmware is one of least profitable software companies, all because of your laziness and inefficiency.
Wrong, all because of another a’hole like the current one raided our chests when ever he feels like.
Pick some percentage of attrition. Say 3% of attrition, with 35k employees, with an
average of of $175 salary and payout of max 6 weeks of service. That makes a cool $21
million. Now imagine it is 3 percent per month for 5 months and you get $100 million
without lifting a finger. That doesn’t even take into account 401k and health benefits
saving.
This is naive too. They don't make a cool 21 million, no questions asked.

It's like saying, "OMG, a plumber makes $120 / hour. They are raking in the bucks!".
You forget that the plumber needs a truck. Insurance. Parts-on-hand. Insurance. Money for the 6 hours of the day that they are not working on anything.
Because…
This is what MBAs actually believe. But in reality, the people who quit do so because they have options and the people who stay tend to be more incompetent.
I disagree, everyone who quits for RTO reasons is one less decision for managers to make. Just let give the mandate and then be on cruise control and watch the savings roll in.

Adjust the numbers however you wants. It is a nice low effort savings with almost zero admin overhead.
Let’s the attrition machine churn and make daddy Hock some money!
It is to teach you Broadcom culture - That RSUs value more than anything else in life and you always respect and follow the supreme leader. If you stay you’ll get it over time.
It is to get you to quit.🫶🏻👍🏻
This is so naive and BS. They have no problem laying people off. Getting you to quit so they don't pay severance is a drop in the bucket for how much money they will squeeze from customers. It's possibly a rounding error.
I take this as nothing more than management that wants control.
Don't forget to mention how much more tons of Co2 your putting in the atmosphere driving your vehicle that didn't even need to happen.. lol
There's no reason or logic. It is for Hock to prove how big of a dou**e bag he is.
There is no logic. Your boss demands it, so you must do it. That's it.
If he wants TPS reports every Friday, then you write TPS reports by Friday.
There is no logic. Hoc does not trust people to work from home. If it was results he cared about, he could have allowed us to work from anywhere as long as the BU met a crazy revenue goal.
It is to get you to quit.🫶🏻👍🏻
