So, the VMware acquisition is done, and we've all seen the headlines about layoffs impacting former VMware employees. What I haven't seen is much detail from the Broadcom side about *how many* people were affected, or if it's truly limited *only* to the VMware folks. Reading between the lines, it feels like there's more going on than what's publicly stated. Has anyone on the Broadcom side been involved in the integration or seen the fallout firsthand? Any confirmation on whether Broadcom employees are also seeing impacts, or if this is strictly a VMware workforce reduction? Trying to get a clearer picture of the situation beyond the news cycle. Any specifics shared internally would be greatly appreciated, even if anonymized.

Heard a lot of internal murmurs about significant restructuring post-VMware deal. While the public focus is naturally on the former VMware staff, it's hard to believe there haven't been broader impacts across Broadcom itself, especially in overlapping or redundant roles. The silence from the top is deafening, making people nervous. Hoping someone with direct insight can shed light on the true scale of the changes beyond the initial wave.

From what I've gathered through the grapevine, the integration is proving more complex than initially anticipated, leading to some tough decisions. It's understandable that the focus is on the VMware side given the acquisition, but it's also true that internal teams are feeling the pressure and uncertainty. The lack of clear communication is definitely creating a challenging atmosphere for everyone involved. We're all just trying to navigate the new landscape.
