Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Letters are coming out. A few details from mine.

Details worth sharing:

  • Came to my VMware email address from Broadcom HR
  • Subject line did not indicate FT or Transition
  • I fully expected to be laid off and instead received a FT offer
  • Salary is the same, bonus and RSUs are better
  • Title is super generic
  • I'm classified as fully remote, because I'm more than 50 miles from an office

it's really frustrating with so many mixed news spreading through all the channels. When can we expect clear updates?

How so? There's been no mixed news. We were told to expect an email before the end of the month. We're starting to get those emails.

If people are being confused, then they're seeking out wrong answers from the wrong people at the wrong places.

Without screen shots this is probably some Reddit person making stuff up to make the VMware share price go up

Op can you post a part screenshot and blot out your name and Bu. That will be the only way people will be convinced of the authenticity.

I received an offer like this. The email was aDocuSign to my vmware address and the title included "Welcome Letter." I don't have to do anything to accept the offer, but a few hours later, I received information on how to register in the Broadcom HR Integration Portal. For me:
same base salary
higher target bonus
RSU's
super generic title
name of direct manager (different from my current one)

I'm the OP and can see in the crazy unofficial Slack channel that people are wondering if this information is reliable. My post is true.
