Thread regarding CA Technologies (CA Inc.) layoffs

How to know if you are safe?

Broadcom runs things very flat, lean management. Look at their most recent public numbers, $17b in revenue with 14k employees. That is $1.2+ Million per employee. Saw one post a person was on a team of people making 1 million. Sorry. Not worth Broadcom’s time.

I am perfectly confident in being safe. I pray to Ganesha that rowdy sheeter VT is gone and do the needful. ITC is completely no problem.

The only way to know if your safe is if a director or above has told you in secret. They know and not telling. Not a peep from leadership except for the GDL yammer posts in 3 months so it will be a f'ng m---acre in all offices.

Your Revenue per employee ratio is extremely misguided. The ratio is irrelevant when comparing different industries. Even when comparing companies within the same industry you have to know if a company owns its manufacturing or supply chain.

Are you located in a US office? If so, you'll be on the chopping block day 1 or within the first year, unless you are an SME.

Broadcom does things right by leveraging offshore labor. ITC is not totally safe but still much better than any US location. I for one am happy with this mentality... No more overpriced american developers and engg Staff.
