Thread regarding Broadcom Corp. layoffs

Because they can hire 7 coolies for the price of one developer?

Seems like that Broadcom is behind the game. My company is opening offices in Africa now. Why get 7 for the price of one... when you can get 22?

Cheap labor in Uganda… that’s next

Because both Symantec & Bluecoat products/solutions have negative/zero/low sales growth. There is only so much you can do with existing customers, many of which are hard to keep as there are better options. Almost similar case with Carbon Black I believe. If so why have their setup in high cost geos like US or Canada and not a lower cost geo like India. If that still doesn’t work, spin off or sell ESG.

The ESG management truly needs to give this point serious consideration. And by reducing office workers in India while retaining remote workers in the U.S, the proportion of remote employees will increase. I believe Hock wouldn't be pleased with it.

LOL. The US remote workers began mocking Indian engineers after seeing a valid point raised: "The US remote guys requires much higher budgets, work remotely (against company policy), and are not necessarily irreplaceable."

Octane seems to be selling ESG business to HCL.
With
Declining number of customers and aggregators approach going nowhere.

What is happening with ESG ?

who is Octane?

Just need one Indian to send the support logs to /dev/null and another to make a release with a higher version number.

There were layoffs in India just yesterday though
