VMware employees are increasingly concerned over Broadcom's pending $61 billion acquisition, predicting spinouts of business units, layoffs, and lost customers

"People are not at all happy. This is not a good acquisition," that employee said.

VMware's former COO Sanjay Poonen, left, and Carbon Black's former CEO Patrick Morley, who both left the company in 2021.But it's"kind of been in limbo," one employee said, adding that Carbon Black's operations haven't really been absorbed into the greater company yet; it still has separate Salesforce and support accounts from the rest of the company."I think it's safe to say that it has been a slower process than we anticipated," that employee said.

Similarly, employees say they're unsure about the future of the end-user-computing unit, which makes products for cloud-based workstations and for managing desktops and mobile devices and has some overlap with products Broadcom already offers. VMware had a small round of layoffs in January, two employees said, and it regularly conducts annual layoffs around the close of its fiscal year in January. But they said this year the layoffs were smaller, and VMware has not announced a big workforce cut.
