Broadcom, that was cold.

The total number of affected employees at the location listed above is anticipated to be 1,267,” Jill Turner, Broadcom’s vice president of human resources, wrote in the notice. “This will not result in closure of the entire facility, but will only impact certain employees selected for layoff. This planned action is expected to be permanent. Affected employees do not have a right to displace or bump any other employee, and they will not be recalled to work."
