Got acquired by Broadcom and everyone's on pins and needles. Heard rumblings about significant cuts coming down the pike, especially for roles that might be redundant or deemed "non-essential" post-acquisition. I know some people already got the bad news, but are there specific departments or functions that are being hit harder? Is there any intel on timelines or the severance packages being offered? It's hard to get a clear picture from the outside, and the silence from leadership is deafening. Feels like we're just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Trying to prepare but not sure what to prepare for. Any insights would be appreciated.

The situation sounds incredibly stressful. From what I've gathered through some distant connections, it seems like the integration is still very much in flux. There's a lot of uncertainty about how roles will align, and unfortunately, that often leads to difficult decisions. I haven't seen any concrete details on specific departments being targeted, but the general sentiment is that efficiency and consolidation are top priorities for Broadcom. The lack of communication is definitely adding to the anxiety for everyone involved. Hope you and your colleagues get some clarity soon.
