I attendwd Dayton Semerjian’s townhall yesterday. It made the impression of a testament about all “good” things global customer had achieved. Basically they kept saying they had explained all to Broadcomand they had been impressed and they had taken notes about what it takes to run a software company with the adequate level expected by customers.
In all, nice talk but little beyond that. If anything is in the making it will have been communicated at higher level and of course elt are not sharing it with commoners.
I have no idea what rhey will do with us. I don’t care to be honest, as there is nothing I can control. If I am to be laid offf let it be it. I want my severance paycheck, no matter from whom, and life will go on.
This said I doubr any of us know what will happen. I don’t believe broadcom are sharing their dismantling plans- if they exist- with anyone other than senior management. I also doubt employees anywhere have been forewarned or sacked, and I very much doubt strategic jingles like “they are keeping mainframe and immefiately close the rest”: I can tell you from a supporr perspective that such move would trigger a cascade of lawsuits from disarrayed customers. Not saying broadcom will take everythung in- I am not so naive seen what ca has done with others- but it won’t all be so easy as pulling a plug off.
I’d also be very much wary of troll-like statenents of the type ‘I kmow for sure GIS have been laid off “en masse”: any such move doesn’t go unnoticed and of course it would be a hot topic already withput needing this site to go public.
I am not so sure who is behind trolling efforts: it is not funny and it helps no purpose. Does anyone really believe that if we have to wait and see and are all finally laid off there will be a problem with it CA former employees saturated market? Are you serious? Hiow many IT positions cs. potemtial job spplicats are there?
So folks let’s trybto focus, not panic and not get hysterical. What will be, will be,. I too am upset at the hypocrisy of higher management, but so be it. I have work ethics and I will perform to the best of my abilities until the curtain falls. And ket everyone settle his or her behaviour with his conscience.
