Mergers always mean layoffs.
Especially with their sizes: Broadcom has 20,000 employees and VMWare has 38,000.
VMWare has 38k? holy hell. I was surprised by slack having over 3k.
VMware is shockingly massive. Hundreds of different products and many, many teams.
Well, now they're down to ~18k if rumors are correct.
