Thread regarding VMware layoffs

I love that Hock schedules a team meeting with impunity on juneteenth. That'll show 'em who's the boss.

I swipe, I po-p, I leave :)

Let’s face it people are also gaming the in office requirement. I know someone who has blatantly bragged about swiping their badge at the office and immediately leaving.

There is no reward for engagement here.

That makes it all the more fun.

This is called rage baiting.

Make an obscene hot take and wait for people to angrily correct you. Sit back and enjoy others getting angry.

On Twitter it makes sense. OPs get paid for engagement. It's pointless on TheLayoff. There is no reward for engagement here.

I love Kim Hock Un

Mr Hock will keep only top performers who can work in the office without snacks and toilet paper! This is the way!

I mean I get wanting to lie and kisss assss to the new overlord but why are you doing it on an anon board? RTO totally works for collaboration… IF people you collaborate with are located in the same area. If all people you collaborate with are in another state, RTO makes zero freaking sense.

As for RSUs, yeah they are great… IF you are kept around long enough for them to vest. I’ve heard several people mention a 10% pay cut but they took it because they got a very nice allocation of RSUs… again, those are only good IF they vest.

Cafeteria… I’m sorry 1.5 hours in traffic to sit at a desk and not be able to actually collaborate in person just for snacks… no thanks.

Really, because it looks like it higher than its ever been, and still going.

Another round of RSUs in 30 days :)

"Stockholm syndrome is a proposed condition or theory that tries to explain why hostages sometimes develop a psychological bond with their captors. It is supposed to result from a rather specific set of circumstances, namely the power imbalances contained in hostage-taking, kidnapping, and abusive relationships."

Another keyboard warrior learns how to use wikipedia... no one is holding anyone hostage, or abusing anyone, grow up.

I can only imagine that people are still moaning and whinging like babies in here because they've realised that perhaps they weren't as valuable on the open market as they hoped, or were told - and now have time on their hands.

Just checking to see if the children were still here - apparently so...

Yes! Broadcom is a great place to work! Customers and employees are in a much better place than pre-acquisition!

Thank you!

obviously somebody is trying to get some good PR out there because there is nothing but bad news coming out of PA & AVGO these days.

@op just go sit under his desk. Why bother posting here?
