I’m here not to work for a terrible human being such as Hock - dúmbass. Now back to work merc, do HTs bidding. Teach your kids your shítty values as well, maybe they will get 4x their normal salary, cause ya know, all that matters is money.

It has been a very lucrative time

Yes, if your goal in life is to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!

Enjoy your paid off mortgage and the cries of souls who endured HTs merciless rule.

Now that we know you have a price, how much for your next mission merc?

Tell your kids to start bullying in the playground and steal lunch money, maybe some other nasty bits and bobs along the way.

Who stole my stapler and punch cards!?

Am I over or under the line of doom?

Will my office close and then as I’m a dutiful slave will move my entire family to a shít city for a shït boss.

This is thriving!

Unless you have been through the ritual to join them you will end up poor. The control system breaks down if people are rich and happy. Make hay while the sun shines. The end is near. Virtualization is commodity technology from 1998.

It's central casting. The board will make sure the slaves stay hungry anxious and tired working on meaningless nonsense.

It's all fake. It's just a number on a screen. The lucies will make sure you work for peanuts your entire life.

The compensation is good, yes, but "thriving" might be overstating it a bit. It's a phone-it-in job at this point; all maintenance, no design.

For a few who fit “the mold”

Otherwise, kaput.

Lots of d-mb responses on here so here’s a normal one from a Broadcomer who came from the CA Technologies acquisition.

Yes those of us who have held on with Broadcom (including VMware folks) have seen our stock based compensation skyrocket in value.

People are paying off their mortgages, paying college tuitions, upgrading their houses or buying new houses etcetera.

It has been a very lucrative time

My last total comp pre-acquisition was in the $400s. The last two years have been $700s, $800s, and may break $1M this year. Nobody would call this a fun job but I'm going to retire 5-10 years sooner so I don't care one bit.

Indians running a Chinese company. Seriously. With core engineering in China. You think this is real.

Everyone's holes are wider. You stay for the money. The kabuki theatre continues for now.
