That sure came and went quietly. No doubt, there are some people did not like him and are happy to seem him go, but although I never worked for him and so have no idea how he was as a leader to people reporting to him, I'm personally sorry to see him... — read more 

Been at VMware 15+ years, now work for Broadcom. I get the frustrations with BC that they don't communicate, and they make you figure out a lot of things on your own, but who cares?!? Companies don't exist for their employees, but for their... — read more 

Anyone know anything about this new trademark? Asking for a friend.

I checked my fidelity account today. The retention RSUs that are due for vesting on March 1st showing a status of Cancellation. Anyone seeing similar thing?

Broadcom is a right laugh. Management is scratching their heads over the fact that loads of us TSEs turned down their offer, so they're scrambling to send out a second one. And now, would you believe it, my boss tells me the bigwigs upstairs are in a... — read more 

So shouldn't we return the favor?

Heard a lot of underwhelming RSU allocations? Also some bands (P/M) in different countries received more shares? Thoughts or comments?

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 

CB not being sold now! No buyer (or buyer not paying enough) Or Hock thinks CB is now an important part of the BC group

As a person who was fortunate enough to received an offer by Broadcom post VMware acquisition, I told myself I'd give it at least 6 - 10 months before re-evaluating my career situation. Over my 15 year career and being 3 months into this acqusition... — read more 

When is the last payroll date for those of us that signed severance papers on January 26th?

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?

Hello, Do we know how many people got fired in the US? Your WARN act is too hard to compile Also, we see that Ireland people are afraid of the amount of work because the teams are shrinking. Do you have this issue in US already? Asking so I can... — read more 

Many colleagues leaving in my team, struggling to comprehend how the team will function soon because it’s a major major blow to our staffing

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.

To send the laptop back. Can i format it and start using ?

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?

So now IBM says RTO or else.. But hey they are giving time to sort you $h!t, unlike a certain overlord. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/31/business/ibm-tells-managers-to-come-to-the-office-or-leave-their-jobs/index.html

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

Broadcom will deduct severance pay for each day you do not swipe in your badge. This is a message for transition employees. From Jan 26 severance EX.
