I no longer receive emails in Outlook. Can we expect a new email address on Monday?

I resigned few months ago, any update what’s going on in Denver office? How many laid off? How many got offer letters? How many expected to lay off?

It's amazing to me that the shares that have been locked up for (at least) a month are still in limbo. And, according to the stock plan coordinators, they "expect" to release them by Wednesday. No guarantees. How is this even legal?

What is the speculation here for US folks... do you think it's going to be one single email Monday morning or is it going to be throughout the day? Perhaps someone familiar with previous Broadcom layoffs can comment on how BC usually does this. .. — read more 

I’m hearing that, due to low margins and redundant operatinal costs, Broadcom will be buying Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve and consolidating them into one generic holiday to improve efficiency. Trick Or Treaters will be... — read more 

... and why.

Anyone able to log in? I can’t seem to get in to either login.Broadcom.com or broadcom.okta.com

Looks like the email lists for the communication of Luigi’s structure by Hock and Luigi himself only include the people they want to keep. From my POV a pretty risky move (workers council will not be happy/ potentially undermines mandatory... — read more 

How do you think the UK will be managed? Offer letters and consultation periods etc. Thanks!

Honestly, I was one of the people that was the most fervently against this acquisition (not that my opinion mattered at all). There are a lot of golden (and critical) posts I made here about Broadcom, Hock Tan, and acquisition that I am now not very... — read more 

The email thanks specific group. Is it safe to assume EUC will see layoffs next week?

A record amount of employees declined offers that spooked BC. Solid performers at every level, including upto VP. Employee power!! FTW! You can't treat people like sh-t and expect to toe the line. People with any self-respect and competence are... — read more 

You should better ask question if you role/position is really critical for company growth. If you are developer or SME you are most likely safe and you will gain a lot of money by staying at Broadcom. Others will most likely be let go now or soon.

If they are going to lay off employees, it would be great if they do it in January in accordance with what VMware has been doing for years. Being laid off in January is much better than being laid off now when the hiring market is going to freeze... — read more 

You may be surprised at how much more efficiently and focused VMware runs under Broadcom with 50% less employees and the 20 years of junk cleaned out of the garage. CA’s software portfolio and business is cleaner, simpler and more coherent under... — read more 

For a window into the AVGO future, simply look back to its previous two major acquisitions, CA and Symantec. Read this candid assessment from Forrester analysts. https://www.forrester.com/blogs/vmware-customers-brace-for-impact/

“Broadcom is a very successful, strong technology company with a track record of R&D investment. And their R&D investment has been growing quite tremendously over the last decade or so,” Broadcom’s focus on solving complex IT infrastructure problems... — read more 

Even if you got an offer, you're still not safe. If you're here after 12 months pass, then you can consider yourself safe. Until then, you still have a good chance of being shown the door. If you don't believe me, go read through the older CA... — read more 

Did any other associate level staff get offers? Nothing here yet...

I'm too old for this sh-t. I'm too old to be looking for a new job so close to retirement. I'm happy for people who are satisfied with this outcome, but for me, this is the worst possible scenario.

We want to pretend it was still innovative, that multi-cloud and private AI are the future, that no alternative came close to VMware and the flagships Vsphere, Vsan, etc, Sub & SAAS transition and ARR going okay, well maybe. But there are better... — read more 

No updates are given to us. Everyone is so quiet. At least we should know what is happening... They are just on mute it seems.

It's my favorite product.

Some friends and I have watch some of our posts disappear & are concluding someone reports them or this site itself is removing them. Families destroyed. Am American icon gone. Hock Tan is Carl Icahn- Corporate Raider . I am so sad.

On the last page, there is a paragraph that begins 'By continuing your employment following the Closing Date,..." that you should pay special attention to. We seem to be in limbo here where the closing date was today (11/22/23 US hours) but for some... — read more

The surge in VMWare license costs is bound to be comical. It's intriguing to ponder whether sizable enterprises will consider shifting to alternative solutions, but the question remains: what would be their destination of choice?

VMware has experienced a series of transitions among corporate entities, resembling a game of hot potato. Initially acquired by EMC for a substantial $625 million in a deal spanning from 2004 to 2015, VMware found itself under the ownership of Dell... — read more 

What are the changes in sebu? Abe getting the axe ?

In alignment with Broadcom's acceptable use policy this channel has been set to read-only, and will be archived at a later date. The acceptable use policy is available for review in announcements-it... Ok... maybe we are not starting so good here :) — read more 

Raghu’s email today showed again how much VMware meant to him. I see lot of negativity around Raghu but the one who ruined VMware is Dell. Fortunes of VMware turned once Dell brought EMC. It was all about how to save Dell by using VMWare as a... — read more

All you BC so called experts have no idea how this works.
