Do people underestimate E6 role at meta?
Background info: I am a US employee of Broadcom, formerly VMware. I was laid off and am in the US-mandated 60-day (NY and NJ have 90 days but that's not where I live) WARN period. Therefore Jan 26 will be my last day on the ex-VMware payroll. It's now been 3 weeks since many of us received the Notice of Termination letter following the long-awaited transaction close of Broadcom acquiring VMware. We received that letter on the Monday after Thanksgiving (Nov 27). I am one of many (thousands? hundreds? dozens? we don't know) who do not have access to the Integration Portal. This appears to be due to mistakes in setting up the infrastructure. From multiple conversations it is clear that there are multiple egregious errors being committed on a daily basis. The Portal is constantly changing and the type of error we receive changes with it. Some people have access to some things; Some do not. The Integration Portal is web site which gives us access to our VMware Workday instance (which contains paystubs among other important documents), and a document library intended to answer questions and instruct us how to do what we need to, post-acquisition. The net effect is that those who are affected by the mistakes don't have access to critical information (such as paystubs). The only recourse I know of is to create a ticket via email. My experience has been 1-2 weeks before the ticket is transitioned to "Open/Assigned" status. But even then that's the only change - there is no observable action that has taken place, and no additional information on the ticket. None. So we are all in the dark and have no-one to talk to or escalate the matter to. I was able to get a response from an email to a person in Broadcom HR (I got that person's email through means other than the official channels). The response was cordial and concise: (paraphrase:) "I do not have the access required. You need to wait for the ticket to be resolved." Today I received the last paycheck from the VMware payroll system. The next projected paycheck during the WARN period is January 5, which should be from Broadcom (not VMware). I am pessimistic on the prospects of things going smoothly, since so far I have no confidence in Broadcom's ability to do anything correctly. And now to the Conjecture part: - The creation of the Integration Portal and the migration of VMware workday to Broadcom systems was never tested and is understaffed, and probably not automated to any meaningful extent. That would explain the unexplainable differences in how many of our problems have manifested themselves. - Broadcom has lost critical employee data which affects our pay, but to what extent is unknown and possibly will never be known. - Broadcom management has its head in the sand (like an ostrich). That is by design. That is how Broadcom "works". Hock brags about it. So I am coming to terms with the possible outcome that I will not receive paychecks on Jan 5 or Jan 19, NOR will I receive the severance payout after my last day of employment (Jan 26) - which for me is approximately 3 months of salary. In that case I'm out max 5 months of salary and I'll think about trying to get it via a lawsuit.
So… fuck Workday?
No, Workday is not the issue. Broadcom's failure to get me access is the issue.
You can access your pay stubs through ADP without going through the employer portal. Go to my.adp.com and create a user.
Don’t fret. I am sure you will get your payout. I’d focus my time & energies on securing the next right opportunity. Time to let go.
I am in same situation. I have not got my dec1 VMware RSU vesting.
MTS 3?
You will definitely get paid. You’re getting rolled over to the Broadcom pay system just like the rest of us, there’s most likely no differentiation that you are laid off since you’re currently serving garden leave and are on the same payroll. As far as past paystubs, I hate to say it but most people I knew downloaded the past 12 months of stubs in anticipation of possibly losing workday access. I’m not defending how Broadcom has been handling the severance I’m just saying that it’s not out of line with how many companies do it.
These tickets are created by an email from my personal account to globalhr.support@broadcom.com. There is no possibility of "misfiling" because all filing is done by whomever receives the email. Your comment about corporate SSO is irrelevant to my post. I do have access to all pre-existing accounts (HSA, 401k, etc). What I do NOT have access to an account which should have been created by Broadcom, but because of mistakes, was not correctly created. I am waiting, they made mistakes. So summary: You're not helpful. Thanks for trying. Since you replied within a couple minutes of my post I suspect you don't read much. I suggest you either pay more attention or not reply.
