'Walk on water' or return to the office, Broadcom CEO says amid layoffs

This be the same Broadcom that wouldn't provide Linux drivers forever for laptops and such in the early-to-mid 2000s?

Don't know much about their management style and I'm pro-hybrid/work-from-home for jobs that can be done as such but their holding back drivers just as wifi was becoming pervasive seemed pretty low to many if I remember correctly.

The CEO sounds almost comically evil.

Your Evil game better be on point, if you're following in the footsteps of a dude who built himself a Sex & Drugs underground lair and then tried to stiff his contractors: https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-nicholas18jul18-story...

Makes sense. Broadcom itself is a very problematic company.

FML I have a major dependency on one of their products. I guess that's life :|
