Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring and Other Costs Restructuring and Other Costs
Our restructuring and other costs consist primarily of severance, contract cancellations, separation, and other related costs. Severance costs generally include severance payments, outplacement services, health insurance coverage, and legal costs. Included in other exit and disposal costs are advisory fees incurred in connection with restructuring events. Separation costs primarily consist of consulting costs incurred in connection with our divestitures.
November 2019 Plan
In November 2019, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the November 2019 Plan) in connection with the strategic decision to divest our Enterprise Security business. Actions under this plan included the reduction of our workforce as well as asset write-offs and impairments, contract terminations, facilities closures, and the sale of underutilized facilities. These actions were substantially completed during the three months ended October 2, 2020. As of October 2, 2020, we have incurred total costs of $503 million under the November 2019 Plan.
In connection with the Broadcom sale, our Board of Directors also approved an equity-based severance program under which certain equity awards held by certain terminated employees were accelerated. As of October 2, 2020, we have incurred $125 million of stock-based compensation related to our equity-based severance program. See Note 14 for more information on the impact of this program.
