What on earth will he be doing there of all places? Ft. Collins is a college town, and the BC campus there is nothing to brag about. Is he sizing the campus up so he can close Broomfield and tell us all to commute up there?

I have vested RSUs in Fidelity. However, I do not see a link to sell shares. I looked at youtube videos and it says click "Trade". I do not have a Trade tab. Is anyone experiencing this? Apologies for the ignorance - I'm new to Fidelity and been... — read more

Stock is up, and lots of changes now completed. There has been employee attrition so HT has decided to ease up the RTO mandates. Nothing will be commented, but it simply will not be enforce. He has decided to reevaluate at the end of 2024. Also... — read more 

People who were laid off, how is the job search going? Are you having any luck yet? I've been doing some looking and I was not encouraged by what I saw. The days of the employee job market seem to be long gone by now. I didn't go too deep, though, so... — read more 

So far within three weeks, HT has been able to do more with VMware than they’ve been able to achieve in the previous 5 years under Pat and Magoo. Finally getting rid of perpetual licenses and the deadweight of EUC and CarbonBlack. Keep up the... — read more 

Does anyone in Ireland have access to Fidelity ?

Does anyone know if/when the dividend will be paid?

Based in EMEA. Trying to figure out if BC accelerated any (non retention) RSU's on termination? Did they give the next Vesting date for example? Thanks.

"A SAM SKU is now mandatory, covering 2.5 days per week." Why on earth would they make them mandatory? Getting rid of those do-nothings would be an easy savings. But instead they make them mandatory? Good job, Hock.

360 in cork to go. https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/companies/arid-41288746.html and https://www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-news/over-360-cork-jobs-risk-28275464 Consultations have started

Why? most of them are going through onboarding and they have to go into an office. I don't blame this on HT, as EUC is a division now within BC. Leadership within EUC is delusional, and if you want people to perform give them autonomy. If you want... — read more

For those who came in with FTE offers to BC from VMW (not you native BC RSU w*ores), are the RSUs worth to you to stay? RTO 5 days a week, threats of layoffs for the next 2 years, company culture that was wiped out in 2 weeks, many of our customers... — read more 

Since all Broadcom employees have their RSU's vest at the same time, do you typically see a sharp decrease in price every scheduled vesting date when a large number of employees are cashing them out? Or is this typically not large enough to make a... — read more 

8% layoffs coming soon. It’s all on google. Just look and you will see.

Our VMware Management says they have no influence who receives a offer or not. All decisions made by BC HR. This does not make sense from a business perspective. I don't believe local Sales or Country Management was not involved.

Hock and I printing money today :)

Please update here Are we moving to Yishun BC office ?? :(

The margins are tiny, the richness of services is non existent. Seriously, who would sign off on a VMWare based cloud now when you have a multi-year commitment of hardware, support contracts and licensing? Hyperscaler cloud won, that is the model... — read more

First vesting is going to be on 12/15/2023?

I am sales EU based and I have seen in the Workday Organisation chart on Broadcom that in our team, some report to the actual manager, some report to the VP, some report to an EUC org in the US. Has someone figured out what was the meaning ?

What to put under the tree for Hock?

I am not.

Does anyone know what the attrition rate is at Broadcom? And how often do they do layoffs?

Finally, after months of this bs, my unvested RSUs have appeared in Fidelity (previously in E*Trade prior to this shtsho). The system generated account is called “BROADCOM INC RSU” The other magically created Individual investment account will be... — read more

How can I complaint to Broadcom HR about my colleagues not returning to VMware office ? Its unfair if I come, but some others don't.

Oh wait, half of the total team works in the EU and now lives in fear of being laid off. The layoff list has been made and you might be on it. Now get back to work and “go team!” What a way to live. See ya bcom, enjoy your hunger games. — read more
