I remember Hock said VMware would have been the new name for all the Broadcom Software organization... instead I'm noticing all the VMware brands and logos replaced by Broadcom software now.

https://idcdocserv.com/US51341423? This comes across as a paid promotion piece. It's not good advice to IDC clients. There are no joint solutions from Broadcom now that they have VMware. There is no product integration, no product synergies. Just... — read more 

He was ill when it was sent out on Monday. Went today to sign and the link was expired. He emailed Broadcom HR he is accepting the severance and waiver and WARN notice, but no response. Possible he gets screwed over with no severance?

Seems to be a lot of talk about Hock not being a fan, but surely you cant be a major tech company without these things?
