Life is so simple in the cult of Hock, he is always right!

It’s good to be the king.

"Broadcom is just such a loser"

How intelligent of you, not at all the typical childish immature comment that most VMware people make.

No wait... it is as childish as every other VMware peoples comments.

All I know is that Team Tan has greatly improved my equity fortunes.

Until he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and decides you are a worthless piece of shït in his world.

Enjoy the ride while it lasts, because it will surely end soon.

"On the inside, the employment culture is just as shocking as people say - people scared for jobs, not knowing what's happening, plans changing quickly, poor senior leadership."

To be fair, the senior leadership was AT LEAST equally poor at VMware from just about any perspective. From a decisive and financial perspective, it's not even a close comparison. AVGO implements more change in its sleep than Pat or Magoo could have even dreamed about. I guess you can pick your poison: sudden, drastic change from Hok, or confusing, directionless fl-tulence from Team Gelsinger. All I know is that Team Tan has greatly improved my equity fortunes.

The only lifeline that can be thrown to customers is Hock taking his own life

Subtle change in optics. Probably the plan all along.
Decent move by AVGO to be fair.

On the inside, the business is not as doom and gloom as people make out - customers are buying and the profitable ones will mostly stay longer term.

On the inside, the employment culture is just as shocking as people say - people scared for jobs, not knowing what's happening, plans changing quickly, poor senior leadership.

Happy days! :-/
