VCF dev here. Anyone similar to me?
Clueless on company direction.
Not feel right for getting paid but doing nothing.

Broadcom will not have money to pay you if you did the wrong things.
So...it is safer to pretend doing something, but actually do nothing. LOL. It is happening everywhere now.
You are not smart enough, if you have not seen it yet.

No one cares direction. No one cares what you do.

Take the paycheck. Stay in office. You will be fine.

company direction is to make money.
you are not safe if you are idle. you are also not safe if you are busy but not make money.

btw, you are not alone.

Keeping yourself busy will not make you safer. All thing are decided by higher level.

Until all is settled down, better to put more time on interview preparation.

If you are doing nothing and getting paid then use the time to prepare and interview. If you are doing nothing then your manager would know that and that means you are probably going to get laid off sooner or later. Or spinned off /sold. BC does not keep people around who are not doing anything. You should have learned that by now. Only reason why you are still around is because they are in process of making decisions.
