Sorta, yes. I was in a transition role, and wanted to leave before my official transition role end date. i requested an early exit, and it was approved. As part of this, BC agreed to pay my full transition bonus, as if I stayed all the way through the end. They did not hold back, or prorate my transition bonus.

Nope from Cork, they don't let me leave on a voluntary basis.
This time for SDE the numbers are low, so I have been silently ignored, but let's say what will happen in the next quarter! Also there is no rumor about consultations...

You've missed the best opportunity to negotiate, that was before the acquisition. A member of our team reached out to Betsy Sutter directly and she agreed to his proposal. In hindsight, I wish that I followed his lead. A smart proactive move, anticipating a future reality of the misery that is now work life at Broadcom.

Successful negotiation requires leverage. What leverage do you have? Refusal to accept the check?

It su-ks, but that’s the reality.

if you decide to lawyer up, shoot for arbitration quickly. It will drag out otherwise until you concede. It's just the way it is here

I have never seen that happen here, but seen many try. (U.S. based anyway)

Even with a lawyer, I think it’s a dead end. Just an opinion.
