The "Synergy" Meat Grinder is officially out of office

I finally figured out the Broadcom "playbook." It’s not a strategy; it’s a taxidermy process. You take a functioning company, strip out everything that makes it alive—the culture, the R&D, the redundant heads—and preserve the shell to ensure the quarterly margins look like a pristine, hollow monument to the stock price. The "town halls" are just performance art. We sit there watching leadership pivot from one buzzword to the next, waiting for them to address the elephant in the room, but the elephant has already been sold off to a private equity firm in a side deal we weren’t invited to. Communication isn't broken; it’s being intentionally throttled. They don't want us informed; they want us predictable. I’m done trying to interpret the silence. The inbox is a graveyard of "restructuring" updates that say everything except the only thing that matters. Just keep your head down, polish the resume in the bathroom, and pray your cost-center doesn't get optimized into oblivion by Tuesday.
