There’s no Broadcom vs VMware severance difference because any VMware employee laid off in 2024 gets the VMware package. Any Broadcom employee laid off gets the Broadcom package. If you’re a VMware employee still with Broadcom, you’ll have to wait until after 11/2024 to regret not getting axed sooner.

140k Euro after tax, laid off in March
Had another role lined up, starting next week.
