So, I was just on Workday checking on the status of a referral I put in for a friend (we desperately need people!), and I noticed THREE open positions on my team (software engineering) are now GONE. Like, completely vanished. They were there yesterday, I swear. All three were for pretty senior roles too. No explanations, no announcements, nothing. My boss is out this week, so I can't ask him. This can't be good, right? I'm in the Boulder office. Anyone else seeing weirdness like this? I've been here 3 years and never seen anything like this happen before.

Yeah, that's definitely unsettling. Could be a reorganization, a shift in priorities at a higher level, or even just a temporary freeze on hiring. Sometimes headcount gets reallocated between departments without much fanfare. I've seen similar things happen at other companies, usually before the bad news comes out. Keep an eye on things and maybe casually check in with some colleagues outside your immediate team to see if they're hearing anything.

Three senior roles vanishing overnight? That screams budget cuts to me. Broadcom's been making a lot of acquisitions lately, and those always come with 'synergies' AKA layoffs. Start updating your resume, just in case. It's better to be prepared than caught off guard. Also, Boulder is probably a higher cost center than some of their other locations, so it could be a target. Good luck, and don't panic... yet.
