Thread regarding VMware layoffs

I don't know it in my heart.

I bet this is just what people are Qualcomm thought ... until they didn't.

It's so funny how the VMware babies are crying about their base... you guys have no idea. I saw the numbers you are being offered - that's what you get EVERY YEAR at Broadcom. It adds up. Within a few years the base is a joke, change money for pizza. Grow up, do some math and decide for yourselves. If you don't su-k, start looking for your next house and car, you'll be able to afford it faster than you dreamed of!

OP can't even do two seconds of research to see that Intel and Qualcomm both failed their aquisitions for exactly the same reason. BC failed takeover of Qualcomm still needed China approval had Trump not blocked it.

You better hope HT can serve Taiwan up on a silver plater to China. But even if they could, they wouldn't need Qualcomm / Broadcom / Intel ect... they would have direct access to the TSMC factories and workers. Broadcom doesn't make it's chips, barely any of them.

VMware is going no where till you're lord and Savior approves this deal. Enjoy living in denial, you have no power here.

Hock and Dell will be the ones walking to the bank."

Hock and Dell are already filthy rich swines. It's our fu--ing lives they're playing with. Shame on you and shame on them for continuing this ridiculous quest

@dcr+1plD9U7a They’re not playing with your lives. This is the definition of capitalism you either roll with it or leave. There is a key difference here Dell is filthy rich but didn’t make his VMware employees rich with him. Hock tan is filthy rich but made his hardworking and loyal Broadcom employees filthy rich with him. There’s a reason why the revenue per employee at Broadcom is 1.7 million. There’s a reason why they lower the base and offer you sh-t ton of RSU’s. They know how to take care of people who work hard. If you got talent and experience you wouldn’t be worried about your job whether it’s at VMWare or anywhere else. My father was a legacy Broadcom engineer for 20 years. He was there years before Hock showed up and took over his company in 2016. My father passed away in the middle of working for Broadcom! Hock rewarded loyal engineers like my father. NOT fu--ing once was my father ever worried about his job or made excuses like ,”their playing with our lives.” Not once! Broadcom had to increase the offer just to keep my father from leaving in 2018. The misconception some VMware and Broadcom employees have is laughable. As I said before if you got talent and experience you won’t be worried about your job. Broadcom would have gave you an offer by now or you got offers lined up for you already. You simply wouldn’t be stressing.

I don’t personally count my employer as someone who cares about my best interests. VMWs “EPIC2” nonsense is just look aid I never bothered to drink. I don’t expect to have too much trouble finding another job if the transaction closes and I decide to stay—skilled people are always in demand.

The thing that makes me concerned is the BC is pretty clearly making promises (or implied promises) that they never intend to keep. Cutting base so severance is lower is a sh1tty move. And if that’s the way BC works, how could I ever trust anything management said?

Again, I’m not looking for a “friend” or some sort of “community” at work. But I expect some level of honesty—not complete transparency but at least not straight-up lies.

Op here, I honestiy thought I was trying to help, but emotions are running high and my post came out as a tout for Broadcon - I appologize!

Still not giving false hope, if you know what I know... ask current working folks at Broadcom as you can trust a talking human being better than a keyboard warriorr!

Iin any case, Good luck!

Promoting false hope to people who are already stressed out is cruel. You are nasty.

Finally someone with some sense you VMware employees that are crying over this can bi--h and moan all you want. Hock and Dell will be the ones walking to the bank. 🤣

Hock! Is that you?

Give it up. Stop peddling hope to people who see nothing but AVGO's failed attempts.

Fu-k off!

BC is fraudulent company. Inflating target bonus numbers and RSUs to lure employees from the acquisition (not new employees) is FRAUD. It is scam.

BC should NEVER cut base. Never. This was a big mistake. Only people who are FORCED to accept will accept to be defrauded by BC. Meaning, H1B visa workers and leadership because leadership will play toxic to get their bonuses while stealing from ICs.

wishful thinker, just tell me why China need approve it?

You probably said the same thing yesterday, and look where we are, DELAYED!

nice try, staff2.

I did read you post but I must apologize because my blind faith mode was turned off so I was unable to take the conviction of your words as evidence. I have seen numerous posts like this and n9ne of them have come to fruition. It is quite clear this is another Qualcomm.

Nice try, short seller. Go fu-k yourself with this fabricated bullsh-t.
