HR or someone from management, please go to each single team and ask ASK for each individual contributions.....QCT has so many people acting like police asking and asking questions but not contributing. I guess this will continue until Qualcomm is... — read more

Remember when Murthy said Intel was not a serious competitor in an All Hands Meeting?
I certainly do. Professor Klump pulled a real fast one on us because he was obviously looking into leaving Qualcomm for months if not years before he did, all while bad mouthing his next gig as a non player in the game. Sad thing is that he was the... — read more
Psychopaths in Qualcomm
I am shocked by the posts people made. Wooo .... I thought I joined Qualcomm, instead I had walked into Gotham. You people belong to Arkham asylum. I see a few good men trying very hard to make some difference from the posts, but those few good men... — read more
HR
My Q recruiter was a perky hot 20 something blond who giggled at all my jokes and let her skirt ride up her thigh while I negotiated my compensation package. I have to confess I was smitten. My Q RIF representative was a snarky post menopausal fire... — read more
For those who like to say "f**k you"
I noticed many people like to say "f**k you" to conveniently end a conversation or conclude when they lack the capacity to reason further. What could be the possible reasons? Is it an incantation which will magically give them a false sense of... — read more
"You might choose Exynos over Qualcomm in the Galaxy S7"

Lowly people from Qualcomm?
From the posts, it seems that either some people are trying to make Qualcomm look bad or there are/ were some real serious psycho-maniacs working among us. By the way, if you want to say "f**k you", I won't be able to accede to you request, and -... — read more
China chipmakers go for ARM
ZTE has received a pile of cash from the Chinese government to speed up the development of its own application processors based around ARM designs. http://www.fudzilla.com/news/processors/39337-more-chinese-chipmakers-go-for-arm
Massive layoffs at Q will continue because 1) business is deteriorating (revenues are falling)
2) Q needs to be ready to acquisition phase by Intel or some south east asian conglomerate
God bless HR!!
After reading all these posts, all I can say is God bless HR for having to deal with all these crazy people. It's amazing anything actually gets done. What a bunch of whiny cry babies, racists, misogynists, and overall plain dumb people. I don't wish... — read more
No one is going to take any of this seriously
unless names are being named
Oh HR Lady
remember when you scoffed at me asking for a $2k higher starting salary? Now I will scoff at you when my dick is in your mouth and you ask for $20. Bitch all you get is $10
Why is taking so long to complete the maintenance to WT balconies?
Is this a coded message?
Are we done yet thinking and considering the sp*it?
Come on guys grab the bull by the horns
I am thankful to thelayoff community for it has opened my eyes
The end of innocence. #BELIEVE
Don't insult yourself
People, please show some honourable character when posting. This is very unAmerican. Don't let people question your upbringing.
QServer
I've always been curious about our intentions to enter the server world. I'm not looking for specifics, but do you think we can take a chunk out of Intel with our ARM tech? I find this project interesting and if it hasn't been gutted and isn't... — read more
HR Lady: what are you gonna do when Qualcomm turns off the lights?
Work off the streets of Mexico?
Qualcommers, move on with new inspiration as all lay off is over. Get back to work with high motivation from Monday.
Be careful about disclosing internal information and if you have any question about Qualcomm future plan and so on, talk to your manager instead of wasting your time at this site.
How do you dress for an interview at Apple?
I don't recall seeing Apple executives wearing a suit. Are designer's jeans, black t-shirt (WhyWait logo) and a jacket ok? ...
Q has flooded job market with indians
Americans now have to compete with them to get few jobs left; in the mean time Q is asking for more H-1b
A humbler company, if that is even imaginable, might just decide to be more open, be a better local corporate citizen, and a more fair employer.
While I have to concur with you that troubles at QCOM will have negative effects in the county and job markets, there can be some benefits. First, it should take down ol' Irwin and his sons a few notches. They have become mighty arrogant and have... — read more
Qualcomm to hire more outsiders from top-to-bottom
I believe Qualcomm needs to hire more outsiders from top-to-bottom in order to increase our chances of turning things around. This needs to happen very quickly, it should be like a blitzkrieg in the ivory tower - sack the executive line-up, start... — read more
BRING BACK THE REPLY COUNTER!
thelayoff sucks without it!
feeling great
Feeling great. After Thanksgiving dinner with family and loved ones, I will still have a job to come to next Monday. The suckers that were let go must have felt miserably. It sucks to be you! It feels great to be employed.
Getting RIFed from Qualcomm is not working out well for most guys.
I had a really tough time finding a job. I graduated summa cum laude from a top 10 university and worked at Qualcomm for 5.5 years straight out of school. I wasn't too worried about the RIF because I thought I can easily make it through top companies... — read more
