Known as a ruthless cost cutter, Tan’s approach has been to gut pie-in-the-sky research projects and focus on the most promising tech developments. He also favors business units that fit together. After merging Avago and Broadcom, for example, he dumped a burgeoning Internet of things unit that made chips that could be used in smart devices for homes and businesses. Most of Broadcom’s chips went to huge customers like Apple and Cisco Systems. The Internet of things unit was pitching to hundreds of medium and small-sized hardware developers, a model that wouldn’t scale well with the rest of Broadcom.

Business teams at very high risk compared to engineering. bye bye cristiano and all the loser product mgrs.
Bye bye QCOM losers. Qualcomm keeps stupid people around because they are no threat to their boss. Broadcom only keeps the best and brightest. Bye bye!
QCOM thought they can take on INTC .. Come Monday and they will be flayed.. NXPI merger will fall apart .. 110 price for a stock trading 115 .. No clue.. It's the end of QCOM . The PE owning QCOM was waiting for an exit .. $70 is a good price.. PEs will jump the sinking QCOM ship

In the last QCT all hands, JT expressed his dislike about the merger of assimilar companies, he said this type of merger always implies in 40% layoffs, and if I am not mistaken he mentioned Avago merger as an example. I thought his comments were misplaced and didn't understand. Now it makes all sense since he would be the first to be replaced.
Yeah !!! All loser will be gone.
I know many from QCT Quality which are shaking now hahahaha no more WFH, long Gym hours, arriving late and leaving early, calling sick one day a week and over all the buddies club will be done. Thanks God for making justice for the hardworking Engineers!!
Bye bye smug qualcomers. You know who you are and so does Broadcom. The tables are turning... Justice will be served.
