No one will be babysitting you. They will deliver what is in the law. There’s no bandwidth for the rest.

You’re genuinely not going to believe, or take advice from, someone claiming to be from Broadcom HR on an anonymous internet forum?!

How do you think that’s going to go?

“But I was told by someone on TheLayoff.com……..”

  • @OP+1pX0FdJW what is your question I can answer you here unofficially. Officially we
  • are not supposed to answer questions.

What happens if I do nothing with my offer?

On the plus side, VMware finally sees first hand how ridiculous the notion was that Broadcom HR was monitoring/responding on here. There are like 5 people in HR total for the whole company.

My ticket was just answered yesterday (two weeks later) pointing me to the FAQs in the integration portal and not answering my specific question that was not in the FAQs. Felt automated and dismissive.

Have you walked over to your HR rep's desk?
Have you reached out to the co-worker in the next cube to see if he has the same questions?

Oh, I forgot. WFH rules!
(or maybe consider that in person collaboration has other benefits than just better code development...)

This was talked about on our BU All Hands.

LOL, this was my downvoted response. Love it. Official responses from leadership are downvoted while random opinions are upvoted.

Never change, Layoff. Never change.

No response is the norm. Every we struggle to get an answer around whether to take a new role is left in “no fu--s given” and you have 3 days to sign or not with your questions unanswered. Absolutely terrible

Same, they haven't updated my email so I haven't been receiving communications from them. I've been trying to update it via workday but it's read only. Been pinging them every day.

Broadcom training has a lot of documentation about how going to HR should be a last resort and you should find answers yourselves. HR is slammed with tickets and requests because they're not staffed up to handle an acquisition of this size.

No you are not the only one. We at Broadcom are ignoring everyone.
