Our team has started the whole Agile thing. It's insane, standup meetings that take 45min to an hour, multiple meetings in a day, hot airbags that like to hear their own voice talking, and talking and talking. It's so much heavier than any other... — read more 

I got the same severance as others are saying, 3 weeks' pay and a 2 month notice.

Maybe companies should paint robots brown so the haters can hate the machines and say, go back to the assembly line.

Why?

Apple Revenue Down; BUs to be sold off except VR, MIPS, and one other.

Just like CBS, just like the Handset group. When the margins no longer make sense, it will be sold. Maybe not today, not next month, or next year. But eventually. My other prediction is. Intel will eventually give up as well (again).

The most interesting part is the involvement of HR directors in the scandal. This was done by the same organization that advocates "ethics" and have authored the so-called "Qualcomm Way" booklets that are in the break rooms. What a corrupt company!... — read more 

Qualcomm is back to its shady tactics.

Termination date is in May and I'll get 3 weeks' pay. The fact that the management did not decide to announce this new wave of layoff is disgusting. I talked yo my HR specialist and was told that Qualcomm is only obligated to pay either 2 months of... — read more
