Feeling the quiet before the storm at Broadcom? Anyone else?

Hey everyone, seeing a lot of chatter online and even some anecdotal stuff internally about potential layoffs here at Broadcom, especially post-VMware deal. I haven't seen any official announcements or anything concrete, but the vibe feels... tense. My team has been pretty quiet lately, and there's definitely an undercurrent of 'are we next?' that's hard to ignore. Has anyone else picked up on this? Any departments that seem particularly vulnerable, or any departments that have actually seen movement? Trying to get a sense of whether this is just general market anxiety or if there's something specific brewing here. Just looking for some shared experiences or insights. Trying to stay positive but it's tough when the uncertainty is this high. Stay safe out there.

Yeah, the VMware integration has definitely cast a long shadow. It's understandable why there's so much speculation, especially with large-scale acquisitions often leading to restructuring. It’s tough to navigate that uncertainty, and I've definitely felt a similar shift in atmosphere. Keeping an eye out for any concrete news, but for now, it's all just whispers.

I haven't heard anything specific about particular departments being targeted, but the general feeling of unease is definitely palpable across the board. It’s a common anxiety after such a significant merger, and it's only natural for people to start wondering about their own job security. Just trying to stay focused on my work and hope for clarity soon.
