So far shareholders of AVGO aren’t thrilled with the completion of the buyout. The stock is already down more than 5% since the announcement of the closing. The rest of the FANG has been positive. Just hope those RSU’s aren’t worth TP. — read more 

It is apparent to anybody who's reading posts here. BC HR is monitoring these posts and are clarifying items from the speech.

Former VMware employee here just wondering what’s happening to the VMware 401(k)? Is it getting rolled over to Broadcom 401(k)? I know I should just roll it over, I’m just too lazy.

Remote work is the biggest benefit VMware provided and lots of good talent is sticking around here due to this flexibility. By being so rigid, he will lose the talent he is so proud about. Nobody will stick around for more than few months now. If I... — read more 

Can someone summarize the talk? Saw comments on WFH and walk on water. What else? What are other changes that he wants?

After watching HT talk for over an hour at an all-hands, I can now confirm this is not the place where I want to keep my career growing.

HT was clear. If you live within 50 miles of an office, GET YOU BUTT in there. 4-5 days out of the week. NO EXCUSES. He said it himself and if you are not in the office you better have a GREAT excuse.

Ive seen that people have received notifications about their shares and how it’s been distributed. Anyone that used to work for vmw previous to the acquisition have visibility ?

There has been nothing in the mainstream tech news about the layoffs or even the acquisition.

Do you happen to know how to log back into the system? I still need to finish printing my pay stub.

Broadcom has already omitted Cork from tomorrow's VCF All Hands, as the meeting falls outside EMEA hours. They truly care about us!

VMware customers beware, software licensing prices might not change right away, or may even drop a little in the short term, but the plan appears to be to jack up prices VERY significantly over the next 3 years based on what I saw today on an... — read more

So - I had 29 shares of VMware - converted from 15 shares of VMW to 3 shares (really 3.78x) of AVGO. And 14 shares of VMware converted to cash. What happened to the .78 shares of AVGO so to speak - I can't account for it -

We know the Slack channels have been shut down to allow any new comments/posts. But Iv noticed they have removed many reaction emojis on Slack. Most noticeably the Hock Tan emoji and other such as :communist: and Xi Jinping emojis. I get the... — read more 

I was let go like many yesterday. End date Jan 26th. Do we need to go through the migration? Do we need a broadcom email for comunications before we leave?

Cybersecurity and compliance vendor, Proofpoint has announced Sumit Dhawan as its new CEO. Projected golden parachute payout from Broadcom to Sumit D. : $24.4 million Cash: $2.8 million Equity: $21.5 million

I watched Novell shoot to the moon in the late eighties as it rode the LAN wave only to live through its futile attempts at finding its way in the aughts. So I have a lot of empathy for all of you VMware folks who are watching VMware's own 'circle of... — read more

Did everyone receive the consultation email?

Am I eligible for RSUs, if I still have not activated my e-trade account? I have termination letter at hand

Don’t waste it. If you’re on 6-12 month transition start looking for a job now so you have a good chance at having something ready for your termination date. It goes quickly !

I got my termination letter today and couldn’t find any details regarding unvested RSUs while on WARN notice. Betsy mentioned that affected employees will still get RSUs vested on Dec 1 . But I couldn’t find any details in exiting documents — read more 

Any idea what happened to the IT folks at VMW and whether the CIO & his leadership team transitioned to BC?

Is there any way to know how many people got their walking papers today? What' the total so far?

Our team got transition offers in October. Today, most got Broadcom System Credentials and Instructions to access apps etc but I did not. Anyone else experience this?

I heard more coming in a March.

Just curious for those who’ve received a transition role - what are the terms? 6 months? 12?

Is it a joke? They copied the VMware policy and sent us a letter stating that BC is now offering you a generous package?

Is the VCDX certification worth getting now with Broadcom merging with VMWare?

All you VMWare newcomers, stop whining and get with the program or bail out. AVGO revenue per employee is 2-3 times higher at AVGO than VMW - 1.1m versus 430k. Operating margin at AVGO is 2-3 times higher - 46% versus 13%. Thats a double whammy. This... — read more

Okay so I can now login to the BS we will call Broadcom but I still don't know if I have a job in the next number of weeks? Workday shows I am a full time employee from today but I didn't sign anything? The fun of working in Ireland
