Great day in QCOM history. Our market cap is equal to bitcoin market cap -- 77.6B. Let's revisit in 3 years.

The incompetence is very disconcerting. The arrogance of upsetting many of our important customers. The Apple lawsuit still dragging on, killing our stock price by 25% ($35B)! The NXP deal bogged down big time and who knows if it will ever close... — read more 

many teams are hiring lots of opening to fill layoff rumor is fake

http://fortune.com/2017/08/08/apple-qualcomm-settlement-billions/ From the article: Apple (aapl, +0.56%) could settle the case with Qualcomm (qcom, -1.15%) by paying $8 billion without any harm to its massive balance sheet, Garcha said. And it could... — read more

With Derek Aberle leaving, I think it's about time to split QCT and QTL. QCT is a profitable business and the current stock price doesn't justify this. Better to remove QTL from the equation. What do you guys think?

Aberle was the scarificial lamb for Apple to settle. This is a typical Apple demand, trust me on this.

I honestly didn't think it would get this bad....I think only way to save QC is to be acquired by Microsoft or Amazon....or google (FANG) Any thoughts on this? Please no crazy response

Rating is decided by the dummy director based on Face value. These directors even do not know what employee is doing. Also they don't read self apprisal content. Apple and google should start hardware design centre in India. We want to exit Qcom.

No more lay offs. 5G will save our arses. Will still have jobs. Yaaaaah!!!! Apple can not compete it Q

Into the vacuum of pure incompetence after years of arrogance and hiring corruption. Well deserved.

Doesn't bode well for the law suit/negotiation with Apple

Logic plays no part in Qualcomm's decisions as upper management does not communicate decisions to line management. Labs can continue to be built out while the personnel for the labs are being laid off or jobs are being off-shored. Lots of past... — read more 

Questions on QC performance evaluation methods - these expectations for USA employees dont apply to india office employees. even dummy can be director and get ratings for doin nothing

I've noticed a lot more snide comments from my management over nothing. I think they're trying to destroy the tiny bit of morale left to get us to quit. Anyone else seeing it?

I'm thinking about moving and a severance package would help with starting out at a new place. Does anyone knows if this is possible and would they offer the same package or close?

Questions on QC performance ratings Been at Qc about four years. Always get a "3". It's supposed to mean "proficient/consistently meets expectations". Is it a bad rating to have? Of course I would love a 4,5,6 etc. But is three very bad? What do you... — read more

Probably FB 4 hrs, 2 hrs at the gym and 2 for lunch. Can never find them on IM, phone or email. Shame on them.

I look all over and all I can see is Indians, the ratio is aprox. 8:1 does this make sense? Looks like QC does not know about diversity. We cannot get promoted because they help each other. HR do something
