Healthy competition from healthy companies is good news for tech workers. It means greater opportunities for everyone. Great that Q got back part of the S7 business. Hopefully this was a wake-up call.
stock is coming up from bottom
oh yeah. Q will have a new future starting from this moment
The only large company more disfunctional than Q is probably..
Intel...with HP A close second.
So for all the trolls trying to take pleasure in laid offQ engineers, thinking they are now worse off than you have been for the past decade.
Just 3 words. Fvck you money. Something Q folks have. Something you don't. It still sucks to be you.
Igor: I created this part, is more expensive and it doesn't work very well but is My Creation, will the world buy it?
Yes Master, they'll flock to buy your part (yeah yeah you crazy old fart)
What would these desperate QC lay-offers do?
If they still cannot find jobs by Nov20? People are still felling OK as they still have a place to go and pretend to their partners they are not fired.
Head count mystery?
SM used to have a headcount of ~31500. Now ph displays less than 27000. Did we really have 4000 interns or has HR perfected the vanisher? Nobody RIFed is gone off yet, are they?
Man, there are a lot of unhappy people lurking here.
There are the disgruntled Q people. And there are the non-Q people that seem just as miserable. Are things really that bad out there for people?
iShare and bi-annual review...
Are you all expecting lower bonuses and RSU's this time around? Is this review mainly to weed out more people for RIFs? http://www.bidnessetc.com/54055-qualcomm-inc-to-pursue-more-lay-offs/
Funny, I guess Q employees are now jealous of Intel
You didn't think a company built on patents and threats of lawsuits was worth more than one with actual fabs did you?
I believe next lay off will be in February/March and it is going to huge. Split will be announced January after ER.
Upto 30% lay off possible.

Called them up to see what the deal is. They will not tell you what the deal is until you are collecting unemployment and agree to their financial counselling session. Their info on their website is not clear enough to actually be very useful. My... — read more

Do not sign the The waiver for the severance package if you intend to sue.
Listen up guys do not the severance bribe if you intend to due. You're much better off suffering in the short term rather than settling for the pathetic severance package that they're going to offer you. I made a big mistake by signing for a measly... — read more
