Thread regarding VMware layoffs

For those curious about life under Broadcom: Exhibit A - Symantec Enterprise

https://uktechnews.co.uk/2020/05/29/hcl-technologies-and-broadcom-expand-global-preferred-services-partnership-to-include-symantec-enterprise-security-consulting/

As part of the partnership, the majority of Broadcom’s Symantec enterprise consulting team will transition to HCL. This includes expertise across endpoint security, web security services, cloud security, and data loss prevention. Symantec enterprise consulting employees will join HCL’s Enterprise Studio, which provides professional services for Broadcom Enterprise Software solutions. The Symantec U.S. Federal Consulting Services and Cyber Threat Analysis Programs will remain with the Symantec Enterprise Division of Broadcom.

When (and if) the deal closes, Broadcom will start to offload BUs, off to third party service providers for optimized profitability.

Today you may be employed at VMware. Tomorrow you will be employed by Broadcom and the day after at HCL (or some other sweatshop operator).

Quite interesting. Keeps the stated headcount down at Broadcom. If the partnership is profitable AVGO may see income from it. Essentially they become the customer for an entity they own. Circular. Seen it done before, not always ending well.

Culture: do anything that would enable Hock Tan to squeeze another penny of profit.

So, informed people don't want to work for Broadcom? Why are we not surprised?

I agree with prior comments, VMware's brand has been destroyed by this ongoing fiasco
