Dislikes

Worst place to work at least in Covid 19 pandemic. Employees are forced to visit office, even software professionals having complete unfractured to have WFH. We are in do and die situation. Office building having some corona cases day by day, employee has to work in this scary situation. On the top of the Layoffs happening, employees are not in the situation to raise their concern. And I found, employees are writing their reviews on GlassDoor and after publishing the reviews, it is deleted by glassdoor. It seems Broadcom giving some bribe to glassdoor to delete their bad and real reviews and writing fake reviews. Don't consider Glassdoor for any reviews. We are in a risk of life. Govt. not taking any action. Broadcom CEO is chines and may be it is china conspiracy to let them die india software professionals. No one can amazing in how much pressure Broadcom employees are working, To visit office and stay complete business day with mask, cloves and may be PPE kit, get infect with corona and take care individual family for this infection. Keep safe from Layoffs, Really it is illogical and dump company. I am asking with whole India IT industry , it is any valid reason to force software professionals to visit office and the place where all engineers, housekeeping, labour and other security employees work and belong to all communities of india, Even their is no dependencies to visit office and had work. Do you think Broadcom is the only company who is doing something rocket science?
