lots of layoffs. CA's brother safe!

SD offices are being shut down and moved to netherland. NXP current CEO is taking over Steve M. SD Qualcomm stadium becomes Big Ed’s Tires stadium

I read this all over this board and curious. List here and see if we can make the voice count!

Yesterday my team mate got a gtfo package. 2 months to pack up. It has begun.

No one will hire Principals from QCT with no technical background. Companies in SD know very well how you get to principal......so don’t bother. All other hard working engineers are welcome to look around, please check: Illumina, ViaSat, Dexcom, GA... — read more 

They just lowered their best and final offer. If they can lower, they can also up the offer to $90. Fair game.

Heard it mentioned in regards to layoffs, but can't figure out what it refers to.

Let me see you do the booty hop (HOP) and now make the booty STOP Now drop and do the booty wop (ooooooh) The way you shakin your reals, will appeal is makin, OF A WHOLE LOT OF BILL

Here are the groups affected by Merge with NXP: PTE 65% Analog Design 20% Customer Engineering 35% Operations 45% QCT Quality 50% Sales 32% Marketing 30% MST 50 % Packaging 30 % FA 50 % More info to come.....

brcm will drop the deal if nxp deal goes through. They say they will decide by end of this week

Savings target: $1B - that's around 4,000 employees to be laid off (calculating with with overhead). Low-cost regions will logically pick up more work so the majority has to be in SD. It's not enough to change travel policies (which might save $8 to... — read more 

Full load of directors, Wonder what will happen to them

Wonder what would happen to New Jersey. Not looking good

or the layoff in SD only

For all of you folks who missed the memo, CA was explicit and we should acknowledge this: layoffs are coming. Based on what he communicated, things are about to unravel quickly and it will be a short sharp shock for the org. If you've been with... — read more 

Coming out of CA's meeting today I felt anger. I also felt relieved as it felt that layoffs will be happening within weeks and not many months (like they did before) - the agony shell be short. But, the question to be asked is one about the... — read more 

Irwin was grooming PJ to take over, Andy (AV) didn't agree with Irwin, they had a fallout and AV ended up leaving. That was a truly sad loss for Q.

Boy that wasn’t one slanderous Q&A session today. So which business units are getting hit ? Matter of weeks and not months he said.

Investors - wake up. Change the board. You are being played (says Bloomberg): https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-20/glass-lewis-urges-qualcomm-holders-to-elect-broadcom-board-slate

Stress... What worries me is that when the NXP merger was announced, all the analysts went like: "Oh yeah, that makes so much sense! This secures QCOM‘s future!“ Now what does it mean when the merger falls through? P erhaps it secures our jobs in the... — read more

Does anyone know how the insurance is going to be changed? Will it carry premium payment individually? They will get rid of UHC?

Let's try to be fair to SM in this complicated situation. I think we can all agree he is nothing short of a PowerPoint presentation in human form and a sh-- leader, but he is not clueless. He is probably well aware, as many of us are, that QCOM is on... — read more 

Old timer wise words. Its foolish to leave a company with a boatload of in he money stock options no matter how sh--ty you think it is. Because going to.another company will be great... For the first 6 months to 1 year. But after the initial... — read more 

Our management team (lets face it that is what we have: management instead of leadership) has focused too heavily on the easy returns of licensing. Being a pattent troll is not a viable long term plan for a company this size.

Hock is now reduced to inane accusations about the Q before shuffling off to different waters. His back-door deals to dismantle the licensing arm of Qualcomm will evaporate. Wonder who had promised to purchase and kill that from AVGO? Yeah - I was... — read more 

Broadcom just issued statement that Qualcomm transferred assets from itself to NXPI shareholders in a breach of fiduciary duty. Hock-san, is not that you were doing? Raiding QCOM coffer for greedy AVGO shareholder? Poof go billion dollars.

NXP closes before shaeholder mtg Hock walk. Dividend increase. Yeppers!

Many people have been saying this, albeit less verbosely: Broadcom would strengthen productive parts and get rid of unproductive parts of the company. I would actually be happy about that, because I work in a productive part of the company, and I am... — read more 

Usually all three of the following events trigger massive layoffs. 1 - Company aquiring another company (QC, NXP) 2 - Company being aquired by another (BRCM aquiring QC) 3 - Company announcing massive cost saving Imagine what would happen when all... — read more 

Q has some treasures that are not being valued properly. SM and PJ are awesome executives that made the company what it is and can salvage the ship. AVGO board is nothing but incompetent losers. I would encourage the board to cut off all engineer pay... — read more 

These companies are not accepting resumes from QC anymore, sorry seems like good people already left and left overs will not be considered by these companies good Luck!!

Either way, if Broadcom acquires Qualcomm and Broadcom performs synergistic merges or if Broadcom does not acquire Qualcomm and Qualcomm has to do some major cost reductions. So just focus on your work and don't get distracted on how or when you get... — read more
