This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Man, a guy I know who has worked for and evangelized VMWare for years and he’s been oddly quiet on Mastodon today. Guess it’s time to reach out.
Update: His job is safe.
Yes, that’s what always happens after a merger. Not sure why everyone is acting so shocked.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Many VMware employees learned Monday that their positions will be eliminated following Broadcom closing its acquisition of the company.
Employees whose positions were eliminated received an email on Monday viewed by Business Insider that said, "Broadcom recently completed its acquisition of VMware.
As part of integration planning, and following an organizational needs assessment, we identified go-forward roles that will be required within the combined company.
We want to make this transition as smooth as possible, including offering you a generous severance package and providing you a non-working paid notice period," the email continued.
VMware had already begun job cuts prior to the acquisition closing, BI previously reported.
In the past year, several top VMware executives have left the cloud computing company.

Well the difference between 69 billion and 70 billion is 1 billion.
Tom Scott’s video on 1 million dollars vs 1 billion dollars highlights how crazy 1 billion dollars really is for those that need easy to understand comparisons like me.
Damn, this must be why I'm not a billionaire. I keep forgetting to do this.
I can believe that they didn’t add 420 million to it…
