Thread regarding Broadcom Corp. layoffs

Just got laid off this morning.

My team of about 50 people in Colorado Springs lost at least 7 people today. It's still very tight lipped on the total percent, but HR says it's across all departments and all geographical locations. Our team ramped up about 16 month ago for an increase to the number of projects in the pipeline, but over time several of those projects got scrapped for one reason or another.

That's terrible news, I wish everyone who were affected well and hope you all keep your head up. This is sad news especially when major holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up.

From initial poster: I did not get numbers from the manager or HR, just headcount from the hallway discussions. Needless to say, productivity is down today.

I also noticed that the stock went up $3 before the market opened, but the layoffs started on the east coast right about when the stock market exchange opened. Sounds like something the FCC should look into.
