Hock did not help much during the call. What do you expect to happen tomorrow?

I doubt it will be October this year. I got some hints from my manager late April. If they started to look in April, I would suspect it will be the second half of Summer.

Again, my vote is Yes!

Details are sketchy at best. But it seems like multiple teams in Palo Alto have been ask to put together a "prove their worth" presentation. My direct manager is as lost as I am, but it seems to have come down from above and involves the use of AI... — read more 

A lot of office workers in India and the U.S. have been laid off recently. But somehow there are still plenty of remote workers sitting in Dublin, Ireland. Why is ESG management holding onto them? What kind of justification is being made for keeping... — read more 

When will ESG take care of the redundant managers? There are still many redundant managers in ESG. Below is the HR guide to weed out them: Managers reporting into other managers at the same level. Managers with less than half their direct... — read more 

What happened to A-list paying customers ?

I smell a blood in our office but nothing here... Anything spicy to share? Aggregator model is an epic failure...a bo-b must be dropped... The only questions that I have... when and how big is the bo-b this time?

What do you think? My vote is Yes, again.

Quite entertaining though.

What a great life here!

There are still many redundant managers in ESG. ESG could borrow Amazon’s layoff criteria to weed out them: Managers reporting into other managers at the same level. Managers with less than half their direct reports in the same location. Managers... — read more 

2 years later and massive reduction, there are still layers to be cut in sales, SE, TAM managers and directors. Most of them don't step out of office to engage customers because they can't. The ones in APJ are good example. Glad the SE boss gone back... — read more

Will there be any Broadcom layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

As you know, many of us in the Symantec and Carbon Black divisions are in a resting-and-vesting mindset. We don’t care whether the division performs well; we only care about the RSUs going into our pockets. Either you are delusional or clueless... — read more

I obviously hear and read about the horrors of Broadcom and every company. Are there any positive groups or orgs at all ? I was also told RTO is mandatory. Is there anything positive about the company or would you recommend new hires to avoid ? The... — read more 

Just got a meeting request for changes to the organisation that may affect my employment. Fu-k. RTO with clients that have signed $80m this year and convinced to go to vcf9. Disappointed

What do you think? Let’s discuss. My vote: Definitely yes, again.

hold on, it's going to get rough

Enterprise Security Group (ESG) - Any layoffs?

Are there any long-timers that know how performance review rankings affect your chance of escaping these quarterly layoffs? Are only those with the "1" rank relatively safe?

It appears many people are calling attention to Broadcom’s history and its catastrophic business model, which they say relies on monopolistic tactics and has led to multiple lawsuits. Critics also highlight the destruction of American job. Thousands... — read more 

We have 60

Any hint on when this latest layoff round would hit EMEA? Besides ANS who i think got hit globally, would be good to know what's happening with the VCF division.

ESG seems to be the most popular division at Broadcom. I don’t see any other division discussions here. Quarter after quarter, shameless ESG is always below the line of doom, like a parasite hogging the host.

Palo Alto employee here. Will get notified on Dec and last day 60 days later. Question: What kind of continuing healthcare coverage does Broadcom offer during the severance period? Continuing the existing plan for a period of time? And I assume... — read more

Should know by early Nov. There is QBR on 3 Nov in Singapore. It's with HT so it's basically final by then. Mid management being trimmed.

Solution Engineer, received email this morning. Several of my sales team as well let go. Meeting for details later.
