Broadcom cleaned house though - the overwhelming majority of old school CA Technologies from line level ICs to VPs and Execs were all cut.

There was a notorious incident where some ex-VPs at CA made a whole stink about being downgraded to Managers at Broadcom due to title inflation at CA and Hock Tan personally flamed them, along with CA's shenanigans around their private jet (Broadcom demanded CA to fly commercial).

Sometimes, companies with lazy and inefficient leadership and staff need to get the stick.

You’d think they failed based on the description given earlier. But that doesn’t sound like failure to me…
