Just for sh!ts and giggles, I took a snapshot of the number of FTEs at VMware back in January of 2023, which subsequently dropped by about 1,000 by the time of the Broadcom's acquisition close in late November, and has since dropped by an additional... — read more 

If youre lucky you may get the same pay and benefits. But its competitive out there. The gap between rich and poor is widening. Brace yourselves !

Wrong dates, wrong entity, wrong calculation…

Heard that Salary and 50% transition bonus both will be cut for each day not in office. Scares me. Can they decline severance pay if not coming to office ? I live 47 miles from office and ignoring RTO. Worried about badge reports though.

Could somebody please share an experience? Getting a job is not easy in this environment. I have a job offer. Should I take it, as my new employer cannot wait until my transition period ends? At this junction, I don't want to lose the severance, and... — read more

Why they send letters after office hours?

I left VMW back in November and haven’t seen an W-2 come in yet from either VMW or Broadcom. Has there been any communication sent on this internally and when to expect them?

Salary and 50% transition bonus will be cut for each day not in office. Scares me. Can they decline severance pay if not coming to office ? San Ramon local.

I have left vmware and wondering when I get w2 in the mail

love it. it means a 12.5 cent rise in my RSU's .

If it will be RSU in Fidelity account after tax withholding or cash lumsum. I can see all the unvested RSU is cancelled now.

Being one of the fortunate ones gotten the package (and also having some stuff left on etrade)... is there any ETA when AVGO will provide the correct cost basis to etrade so that i dont need a ph.d in excel to do my tax?

I was under the impression it would be the last day, Jan 26th?

VCF dev here. Anyone similar to me? Clueless on company direction. Not feel right for getting paid but doing nothing.

Many transition employees also included.

Anyone able to comment on what the Broadcom severance policy is? Curious to know what it’ll shift to when the agreement to honour VMware’s policy expires in November
