The New Broadcom is lead by a CEO that's going to run it like a Wall Street M&A company, and CTO that cares most about Anaheim Mighty Ducks

You realize that Broadcom Ltd (Avago) is really just a wall street company that makes shareholders happy by buying other companies and chopping it into itty/bitty pieces....hiding under a false pretense of doing real engineering. And when a particular acquisiion has been milked dry for all it's worth, it's going to get axed or sold, and Broadcom(Avago) is going to repeat the same acquisition for the next company, over and over again.

It's like a swarm of locusts and vermin infecting a farm, and then when everything is eaten dry and the locusts are fat and full, they move on to the next farm to devour.

You're the current farm. As an engineer, you're just an expense. The CEO is good at what he is doing. Slicing and dicing, and making Wall Street happy. The CTO is great at managing the Mighty Ducks (well, he does seem to get more excited talking about them at the all hands than actual engineering)... What do you think this means as an engineer? A number, a tool. a line item cost that they don't give a shit about. You're finished. Move on...Find something else, while the economy is still pretty good.

What did you all expect of how it should be ran? Broadcom isn't a non-profit charity organization, this company should be ran like a business and not a holiday resort. Have we not learned from other super organisms like ants and bees? The workers are expendable, it's the colony that is important. Get back to work!

You really think at Broadcom you were more than just an expense? Get real. You're a cog in a very large system. With Avago, the system is bigger but you're still a cog. If they are done with you, they will drop you like a dead weight like any other large US or multi national company. This is the real world.

I wonder if Hock, at an all hands meeting, looks at each of the engineers and thinks. Hmm, If I lay this guy off, it will allow me to buy my new Mercedes. If I lay this guy off, I can buy my kid a $24,000 rolex watch, if I lay this guy off, I can get the yacht washed and waxed, if I lay this guy off, I can take a trip to fiji with my wife to play golf, if I lay off this guy, my daughter can get a new mink coat.

Yeah, that was fantastic

The new CEO had discovered an advanced innovative Ponzi scheme.

He eliminates engineering jobs, kills and stops innovation, for short term profit to pop true stock. At the end he leaves nothing except he makes the investor reach.

Hock couldnt help it and admitted BRCM Limited still has too many employees in the all hands

Exactly. They are killing technic innovation. Focus on so called financial innovation only.

all TRUE...
