Is this a joke ? LOL

AI Stocks Nvidia, Broadcom, Astera Crash On DeepSeek Fears
Oh dear, my RSUs have is now worth 30% less. China, China, China
AI bubble bursting
Oh dear.
It’s sad to see CB is controlling Symantec now.
“Before you gloat, take the following into consideration: some of us (e.g., yours truly) have, after leaving Broadcom, have landed into Infosec roles where we may be in a position to choose between CB and their competitors” Will you choose CB ? — read more

10 people were fired today in Prague's R&D hub. Any news from elsewhere?
Broadcom at CES
Hock at the booth whips out an oversized laser pointer with unnecessary RGB lighting… “let us examine our destiny." Points to glowing red line spanning the slide labeled: THRESHOLD OF PROFITABILITY (LINE OF DOOM™) Hmmmmmmmm... aggressively circles... — read more
NortonLifeLock will soon no longer be a customer of Symantec.
Oh, how the tables have turned! Symantec loses NortonLifeLock and suddenly becomes the champion of small businesses—because who needs enterprise clients when you can secure the local coffee shop's Wi-Fi? 😂
Happy New Year to ex-Symantec & CarbonBlack folks!
Are you guys still dreaming about your RSUs ??
What’s your experience with ESG ?
Mine, not so good
Don’t worry, ESG headlines will continue in 2025
Can get enough of the disgruntled ESG stuff
Oh boy! Symantec! More layoffs hitting APJ again before March 2025
Symantec is losing more A-list customers in this region. Symantec will be below the doom line again in the next quarter as well. So Broadcom’s future plan is to focus on EMEA and the US.
More layoffs before March25?
Some comments going on around more bloodbath or something in March25 due to ESG -4*% below doom line.
The Economist: Meet the most ruthless CEO in the trillion-dollar tech club
Pretty interesting perspective on Hock from The Economist: https://archive.is/xCful
What will happen to Symantec?
Hock Tan is clearly a genius—one of the sharpest operators and capital allocators in tech. Just look at his flawless record in M&A, dividends, and stock performance. But somehow, despite all that brilliance, he’s managed to completely drop the ball... — read more
ESG is -4*%
What will happen next? I’m more worried now.
ESG (Symantec) is Hock's bad move !! Soon ESG is going for sale!
Three GM changes in the last four years still couldn't save Symantec!
ESG sales communication
Recent news that ESG has been communicates to leaders that it would be selled soon. They are looking for candiate
Symantec once a legend, now scrambling for small and medium businesses. What's next ?
Even if they want to sell who will buy this product line ? I heard they couldn't sell CB, that's why it merged to Symantec. if no one wants to buy this combined sh-t, then what's the next step? Until that ESG BU folks can keep collecting RSUs, its... — read more
ESG below the line of DOOM again. Are we safe ?
I'm worried. How long can we even last in Broadcom ?
ESG folks, please be grateful to Hock ! He is making us RICH !
He is making us rich even though we don't deliver. We can never get this kind of CEO in our lifetime.
What do you guys think about the 25% stock price jump today?
Just curious what your thoughts are...
Bonus 2024
Does anyone have information on when the bonuses will be paid this month? I would appreciate any updates. Please keep the conversation positive and kind, as I'm feeling quite stressed already. Thank you for your understanding!

To the moon! 🚀
Let's make a prediction, ESG is below the line of doom again.
A consistent track record :)
Don’t worry, ESG! Octane will continue giving us free RSUs.
Even though Symantec and Carbon Black are doing badly, Octane still loves us. No matter what, at the end of the day, RSU matters. The management doesn’t care about the business.
Is ESG only catering to 40+ A-list customers now? How much more can we squeeze them?
From over 1,000 A-list customers to a measly 40+? Pathetic! And now ESG is scrambling after mid-sized and small businesses? What’s next, a lemonade stand? Desperate much?
ESG is burning Broadcom's money
ESG is consistently not hitting revenue every quarter! Why Broadcom is still keeping ESG ???
More cuts coming in ESG
Once the EDR integration with Carbon Black is complete, there will likely be significant layoffs in the ESG team.
ESG is going down ?
ESG is dragging the company down, and I don’t understand why they haven’t ended this failed acquisition yet.
Is Broadcom planning to spin off or sell ESG ?
There are reports suggesting that Octane might be selling its ESG business to HCL, possibly due to a declining customer base and challenges with the aggregators' approach
ESG operation moving to India
It seems the ESG division is slowly moving its operations to India. Does anyone know why?
ESG layoff again
It seems ESG has conducted another round of layoffs. Please share if you or your team has been affected.
RSU refresh vesting plan?
Does anyone know what the vesting cycle will be for any refresher RSU grants that get awarded March 25? Will there be any kind of wait or cliff at the start, or will they start vesting from June?
Broadcom severance
What is Broadcom’s package? Is it 2 months + 1week/year?
Airbus here…
We are hiring!
