"Making a company’s workflows more efficient demands a great deal of effort, analysis and planning, Cappelli said. In the short term, if leadership hands out pink slips without this kind of preparation, chaos reigns."
Why do you think Broadcom has been spending so much time meeting with VMW ops teams, and understanding how the whole operation runs? They are making the effort, doing the analysis and planning referenced in the quote, so that when Broadcom slashes and burns the VMW org, productivity and profitability will increase.

Still betting on 30% layoffs including any heads lost through spin offs by end of year. Top heavy, so top heavy.
On the upside, every senior director and up who is let go pays for 2-5 heads in least cost locations.
