All employees receive three 8‑hour holiday days each year. My supervisor advised me to use all three, and mentioned that if I don’t use them, I will lose them. I’m unsure whether she was simply reminding me about the policy or implying something else, such as a possible layoff, by encouraging me to use the remaining holiday hours.

What do you think she was trying to say?

Seen job posting for it, debating applying. But is there any future in that role, or are you just going to get sacked once it’s over?

So many people getting bent out of shape, and for what? No layoffs. There’s a lesson in there somewhere.

The level of chaos and misery that I am seeing in Irving is off the charts. I've been in corporate America for decades and I've never seen anything approaching this level of cruelty-- unfortunately I think that's the point.

What's going on today? Security hanging out in work areas. This only happens when people are being let go

Is changing that even legal?

@b2+1kjbbze82 Makes a great point. These creeps are putting our pictures in Gemini, putting in our personal and work information and god knows what else. This needs to stop!!

Usually it’s the one dreadful day where everyone gets laid off on the same day. However this year (at least for my department) I have noticed with the EDs and MDs that they are being let go here and there. Since January we have had about 5 officers let go.

Tonight will be "fun," considering I didn't sleep at all last night, and something tells me I'm not the only one. I'm now wondering, is there even a slight chance that this will be it? That after this round, we'll be able to move on from layoffs at least for a while and focus on our work again?

Anywhere else, I'd start looking. Now.

Anyone heard of layoffs coming this quarter? It was this time last year when we had the last big round so fingers crossed it isn't happening this year on the same scale.

Another manager has left the emea space. what’s happening over there

Us together is better. We must return to the office to increase collaboration. Whoever created the new seating assignments didn't make any effort to keep teams together. Collaboration with anyone BUT your own team. What a joke and an embarrassment for leadership. Rather than fixing it, they doubled down! Who's in charge of the CF $hit$how?!

Part of the 12/19 group.

Of course once it's deposited in my TOD acct isn't thousands lower....smh.

Anyone else?

There was a time when retiring here felt guaranteed. That hasn’t been true for at least a decade. With constant layoffs, retirement feels like a distant luxury. Most of us are too busy worrying about what tomorrow might bring to think that far ahead. That’s the reality we’re living in.

As a former senior engineer at CDW I can say without a doubt that the company is in serious trouble. I made six figures basically doing nothing because internal politics prevented me from receiving projects.

While it was great for a time, I realized my skills were degrading and jumped ship for another opportunity. Thanks CDW for the free money and certifications!😂😂

If you believe the layoffs are less than 20%, then either you’re seriously misinformed or you’re not actually working at Qualcomm.

And if you’ve been here for more than 10 years, be careful- you could be in trouble.

What is actually going on with this company???
So many people are being laid off. ICs are being thrown away. Teams are on very slim resources. Performance is degraded.
What are they trying to achieve? Are they planning to move everything to offshore?

We’ve had at least two significant storms in the last few weeks, depositing 12-18 inches across the region. And a smattering of smaller snowfalls also affecting commutes.

What is the official expectation from corporate for weekly attendance when there is a snow day? No one has said whether we are expected to make up that attendance day later in the week. Seems logical that we wouldn’t have to, but there has been no official word and people are uneasy.

Moreover, even if we’re not expected to make up the day — will attendance tracking reports consider snow days, or will they hurt our average days in attendance?

Regarding Kevin's meeting and the effort he's making for employees. Kevin just sold $1,000,000 worth of stock. Do not trust them. They are trying to keep you productive up until they can discard you.

Does anyone know what changes are being made to the STI program for 2026? The communication sent to managers makes it sound like negative things are headed our way.

All this talk is getting old.

Pretty sure more Layoffs are coming for us. Can those recently let go please let us know what the new severance package is so we can all prepare

Does anyone know what’s going on today? Executives are all onsite and leaders have hinted to fires going on

It's clear they're either going to gut it or tear it down, it's just a matter of time. Why else would they have only like 3 (above ground) floors in service? It's weird hearing about how some functions don't have desks but we've got 10 empty floors in 220. This feels like a metaphor for... something.

Look out below. Market has lost faith in Arvind and Jim's financial engineering shenanigans.

Can someone describe what the process is for deciding which round you are a part of for the layoffs? I know I was marked because of what I was linked to workwise and sus behavior this year, but what determines what wave you are a part of? I have nothing to do and not sure why I am still here with nothing to do.

After numerous promises by different leaders across 2025 has anybody heard anything?

I like how the bank sits on our money earning interest for a week prior to paying it out. Should be criminal.

Anyone know with certainty? Any details?

I have seen team after team's work get stolen by ireland or India, and then those teams dismantled.

US employees, when your team starts interacting with ireland or india in anyway way, know that their goal is to acquire your work so that your job can be eliminated.

I saw 2 teams in rx last week that developed a system, and slowly brought in the Irish, those entire us teams were eliminated on Friday.

Do NOT cooperate with ireland at any cost. Don't respond to their emails, don't assist them, etc...

I received an M rating, and people are telling me it’s bad? . I’m the smartest person on my team and my “boss” is an unqualified Saudi woman. I’ve emailed her boss and told him as much, but I don’t know if that will help? To those of you considering coming here, be mindful they prioritize their own despite how much value you may add.

Stop this madness. Pseudo leaders are gaming the system. Dedicated resources are sidelined or laid off. Sycophancy is the name of the game.

This will end worse than your experience at Enron. STOP THIS NOW.

And now this whole merit situation. Makes you wonder why we even bother, really.

But it doesn’t feel like a win. I really feel for the people who lost their jobs, especially given the current circumstances, and it angers me that so many of them were exemplary employees. I’m not a big fan of my job either. I reached my limit long ago, maxed out on exhaustion, disappointment, and ethical conflict. I’m not glad I survived, I’m just relieved I’ll still have money to pay the bills.

less employees, less customers too. ? contract breach. ?
