  Especially with their sizes: Broadcom has 20,000 employees and VMWare has 38,000.

    And Broadcom has a history of buying companies and squeezing every cent from them before they destroy them. I don’t expect VMWare to be around in 10 years.

    VMWare has 38k? holy hell. I was surprised by slack having over 3k.

      VMware is shockingly massive. Hundreds of different products and many, many teams.
