Layoffs might be happening at CA and not Erstwhile BRCM
Read this over on Broadcom page, is there any more info on it? Are we really looking at more layoffs at CA as soon as March?
I'm really getting tired of constantly having to worry about possible layoffs.
I'm not sure they're really layoffs, more people that were on transition already scheduled to depart. Remember, there were probably over a 1000+ on transition in the US alone. I do know that some people have been offered permanent positions before their transition ended. From what I can see so far, at least in the MFBU, they really do intent on expanding in areas where they think they can grow. How long that will last I'm sure will be based on results, but so far the Broadcom acquisition has been a blessing. I've noticed a dramatic positive change in attitude from the previous regime.
I'm not sure how many will realistically be required at this point. I know a ton of "stay" people who are leaving on their own. Many are top performers in their area, and complained about being told one thing and then getting another.
