Another Massive Company Now Advises of Layoffs in Texas

January 2, 2024

Another massive company now advises of layoffs in Texas for 2024 according to the latest WARN filings.

VMWare is the latest company to advise of more layoffs in Texas this year.

It’s important to note that under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, an employer with more than 100 full-time workers must provide a 60-day notice before laying off 50 or more people at a single site.

Broadcom closed its $69 billion acquisition of VMware on November 22 and has announced layoffs of almost 3000 VMware staff across the United States.

Now the company is advising that a whopping 577 employees will be laid off by January 26.

The company made the following statement:

“Broadcom recently completed its acquisition of VMware.

As part of integration planning and following an organizational needs assessment, we identified go-forward roles that will be required within the combined company.

We regret to inform you that your position is being eliminated, and your employment will be terminated.

We would like to thank you for your dedication and service. [Furthermore] We want to make this transition as smooth as possible, including offering you a generous severance package and providing you a non-working paid notice period.”

In 2023, there were approximately 23,487 layoffs in Texas across a total of 220 businesses according to the latest WARN data.

California remained the #1 state with the most layoffs in the country.

In second place is New York followed by Texas, Washington, New Jersey, Florida, Michigan, and Georgia.
