In a previous article: Everything we know about what's going on at VMware as employees leave in droves ahead of the $61 billion Broadcom acquisition

talent at VMware has started to leave the company because of uncertainty around the deal's influence and hints from Broadcom's CEO about ending remote work

From the get-go, Broadcom's plan to buy VMware seemed far-fetched. The companies have little overlap, and with its massive price tag, the acquisition would rank among the highest ever in tech.

Yeah, this was doomed. It looks like nobody in the know was surprised. Customers, employees and analysts saw the layoffs coming.

I wonder where these people went. With the announcement of Apple's gaming support, my bet is on that or over to Oracle to work on VirtualBox.
