Title says it all
Yes, delay.
China will kill.the deal like they did the Intel/Tower deal. It sucks but VMW puts remain the play.
Yes.. Offers are rolling out in 6 countries from Monday (US, Canada, India, Singapore, Taiwan and UAE). US and Canada will also receive transition letters. The remaining letter (termination) will go after close.
I heard the deal is falling apart.
I saw a linkedin post that I can’t find now about vmware folks going to have a tough week this week and to be gentle. Seems like yes?
No deal is what we are hearing
Comment has aged well
That would be awkward. Even if the deal closing will be delayed, I hope they can at least be certain on the time frame of the layoff. The last 2 weeks were very stressful when waking up not knowing if we have a job or not (they said previously offers will start mid Oct)
Or indefinitely… Their point is to punish US based tech companies for US policy of limiting chip sales to China. They won’t outright block it but instead make sure it blows through every procedural milestone date for the merger until the parties give up.
