Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Email from Paul F Re portal for all vmw

“This message is being delivered at the request of Broadcom IT leadership to all current VMware Employees regardless of role or status moving forward once the transaction closes. It is not an offer of employment or indicative that an offer will be made”

Team,

In the near future, all VMware employees will receive access to Broadcom’s migration portal, where you can preview information that will help you after the transaction close date.

If that is not indicative that this thing is not closing on the 30th I don’t know what is. They could have set this sh-t up a month ago if they wanted to be decent human beings and giving folks info and what to expect. But they didn’t.

You have to ask yourself why.
Because it will be delayed of course

“Because it literally impacts our stock prices”

Bro one moment.

I had to get off the floor when I stopped laughing. You think this website and this post impacts the stock price?

Because it literally impacts our stock prices. Investors are glued to this page waiting for some juicy tidbit to tell them to buy or sell.

Why are people concerned about protecting this company’s confidential information given the way employees are being treated during this process?

OP do not share confidential material here. VMware will let this slide. BC will come after you.

I love how Broadcom people know more than VMW people do on when this closes.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything.

They are not decent human beings, they are sociopaths. You can tell that by their responses on here rubbing things in peoples faces. Being terminated is a kindness and people will see this in time when they realise what BC will do to VMware.

I am not following you - why does that imply a deal delay? A migration portal seems perfectly in line with a 10/30 close, set up just in time to help employees over the transition.

"If that is not indicative that this thing is not closing on the 30th I don’t know what is."
So, you are saying the deal is not closing on oct 30th?
That's probably right. It will be delayed.

"9am Pacific on Monday deal closes. That is what is being communicated internally at Broadcom."
When was this communicated?
China has not approved the deal.
How can it close without China's approval?
