Is Broadcom retaining real estate because they don't want to take a hit on selling commercial properties presently in the toilet or are they expecting some solid staffing growth in the near future?

I have ADHD, I can't focus at work and I get really overstimulated. If I were to provide a doctor's note regarding this, would I be able to cut down the amount of time I spend physically at work if not get full WFH permissions?

Price is low enough as a target acquisition. Bloated.

Big reorganization on the security side. Is Broadcom planning to divest the Symantec/Carbon Black security business soon?

Title, we do mass layoffs especially in VMware division and still stock price is in free fall. Hock is not doing great job, please fix it!

There was a bunch of layoffs last week, don’t see any infomation, Public Sector AEs/SEs/Architects what gives??

Every individual I meet from Broadcom seems to either incompetent or have an IQ of 50. It's surprising that they're able to make it to office everyday and know anything about VMware or its software.

With MD and BZ - seems like they are about just themselves. Nice job.

Title - just a rant. Hate it here, but will coast for RSUs

Has anybody heard about any layoffs in the Security division? What is happening with the merger between Carbon Black and Symantec? Both groups have had layoffs in 2023 / 2024. Do you expect more in December 2024?

Significant cuts in the PM/TMM org today. Some reporting as high as 40%. Personally know at least 15 who got impacted.

This drama should stop. I am not sure what the reason is. Some posts complain about how incompetent the other side is. Accept it, you have no idea how good or bad the other side is and no control to change that even if the other side is... — read more 

VMware is spoiled legacy company, having no more than 3-4 years left. I wish we never acquired them or just layoff 95% of it next 2 years.

As a DE, I enjoy the juicy package offered by Broadcom. However, the incompetent folks in all job functions at Broadcom (that I have interacted with - not broadly applicable) make my life he-l at work. RSUs make all the suffering worth it but I am... — read more 

I'm a IC in a h/w BU. Will the 50 percent YTD stock appreciation lead to targeted layoffs? My team would be far more expensive from what was planned for budgeting purposes.

Met with couple of very senior VMware folks both technical and managers (Directors actually), I can't believe that someone can have such a high title and at the same time, no positive impact at all. Now I understand why VMware sank so fast, feels bad... — read more 

I hate that we acquired VMware, company has extremely low revenue per employee and we gave high level offers to so many useless folks. As a result Broadcom employees will receive low stock price forecast, hate this s**t.

Hi there! I'm a former VMware employee who survived the first round of layoff. As far as I have understood we will be assigned a 1-2-3 grade for the performance review that will also affect our bonus. 1 the best grade and 3 the worst. I have a... — read more 

VMC is widely known for an impact soon but VCF is getting hit too it just might not be as bad

What are your thoughts

The SED Division (Symantec) is continuing to lay off engineers this quarter, following similar layoffs last quarter. What is the reason for this trend?

Why did Broadcom kept the Backup Exec which is for SME and did not keep NetBackup which is for Large Enterprise when it acquired Symantec?

When we joined, there were talks of March 2024 RSU as additional to what we got. But after that, no news and my manager said recently no more. Another manager said there will be email this month.

Looks like the news hit the web last night. What would this mean for the EUC BU employees? Anyone have any experience with KKR?

Carbon Black layoffs coming in March. The technology will be placed under the Symantec BU

Where best place to find salary bands. Don’t want to get stiffed on promotion/raises. Couldn't see bandings listed in Okta, just the timing of events.

So Hock now on Meta board. Discuss : Hock is preparing for retirement, but still likes the smell of money Zuck wants to end remote work for Meta Hock is having trouble using Facebook acct Or ??

Has Hock Tan ever put anyone on administrative leave for not following 5 days RTO? Or it’s just a scaring tactic?

Letters said as soon as possible but then not later than April 15th, I’m assuming they don’t pay it earlier ?

This January seeing more "retirement" emails . Which in hock speak is a layoff. Dunno if it's just me or the same in other BUs.

Who in the management line has access to the attendance records? Managers ( manage ICs ) or Directors+? At what granularity is the tracking shared? Per employee or aggregate based on employees that report to you?

I am hearing that Broadcom is looking into and preparing to transition Broadcom Software technical support (CA, Symantec, VMware) to an outsourced (HCL type) model. Does anybody know anything about this?

guys, will we get any SIP bonus for Q1FY24 or not? We have not received any communication from the management or sales leaders. I understand they need to be careful but complete silence on such matters is not a good sign of their leadership. what do... — read more 

Multiple layoffs in Santaclara this week, some how not getting reported in WARN

Obviously more cuts are coming to VMware. Still lots of fat to trim. My question is, does Hock usually cut before vest dates? Most VMware employees have a lot of stock that will vest March 15, June 1, and June 15. Would love to collect on those... — read more
