AVGO succession plan

VMware Bulgaria next
I've heard they will reduce Sofia workforce to 500? Is this true?! Seems like abnormal to me, we were like 1800 a year ago? Hope they layoff managers mostly

What will happen with SRM/DR? No layoffs yet..
Basically title, what will happen with SRM/DR? I know they are currently masquerading their revenue as part of the Vsphere's, but without it, I guess it would be very low. Revenue per employee in this org is also pretty bad compared to Broadcom.
Why Omnissa is a High Risk Leveraged Buyout for KKR
How much debt does KKR have? The total on their balance sheet as of March 2024 is $49.53 Billion and it's growing. One significant risk is the substantial debt used for their acquisition financing. If KKR fails to meet performance expectations, this... — read more

Anyone can confirm that it may be peaceful ‘till December?
That’s the rumor and I wish it was true. I desperately need not to constantly worry for a while.

VCF layoff
I am hearing news of VCF layoff today for US and later next week to india. How bad it is ? Who all are impacted?
Any sympathy for our customers???
Does anyone actually care that we're sc--wing over our customers so badly? Or are most of you already brainwashed by the Broadcom machine and only care about the $$$? I find it pretty disgusting how we're being forced to tread our customers. ... — read more
I'm not leaving, Jim
Broadcom is a mess, but a lot of good stuff can happen in a mess. Accountability is way down during all this chaos. With so many problems with the new system, it's easy for difficult problems to be shuffled around, delayed, or just plain ignored. .. — read more

I suspect a huge RIF, for such a small country they have a huge headcount, and also a whole bunch of people working for the various divisions. From what I gather most remote division folks will be eliminated over time, this is already happening in... — read more

What do you want to bet more layoffs happen before the end of the month?
VMware by Broadcom has meant misery by the boatload
"A company this big cannot grow by acquisition. There are no targets left, and everything looks very different. The strategic choices facing the board are not so much how to manage VMware most efficiently for the next few years, but whether it's... — read more
Could they have done Day 2 any worse?
Why would they not simply map EA to Site ID and Super User to User Administrator, and call it a day? The current spaghetti mess is bad enough, but the arrogant unwillingness to fix it is mind boggling. I knew the AVGO overlords would be brutal, ... — read more
Get out before it's too late
Unless you're at the end of your career and resting and vesting, get out of there before it's too late. Those who have moved on have not looked back. Tech should be an exciting industry to work in, Broadcom su-ks out that excitement. Move on... — read more
