which is the better "Great Game"
Russia & The West's historical and never ending follies in the middle east, or QC & MTK's battle in the Far East? Can you somehow blame Putin and Assad for missed earnings? Is that the new CNBC talking point your CEO got from Obama?

So, QCOM is now inside Blackberry's first Android phone....
Too bad the only people I've seen using Blackberry phones recently were homeless. If that's the market share I'm expected to bust my ass for 80 hrs. per week to keep, it's time to cash out the stock and open a beer pub!

Expect housing market collapse very soon
San Diego announced lay off increased 45% in September, what it tells you?
Housing market will collapse in few months.
What a miserable bunch of people in this section.
It's actually kind of funny. It seems like not only are there a select few miserable Q ex-employees here, but A LOT of lurkers (not Q employees) that seem to be equally, if not more, miserable.
Let them eat cake!

QC employees’ faith:
QC employees are in a real dilemma; on one hand, QC could lay you off in the coming months, if you were not already in the first round; on the other hand, you are facing diminishing options outside of QC. With Marvell’s exit, QC is the only US... — read more

I accepted an offer from QC, but after reading all the comments, I don't want to continue with QC. Is there any legal bindings ? No trolling.
I mean how to cancel the offer from QC after accepting the offer. Thank you.
About that S&M pledge...
This one, for anyone who missed it: https://www.thelayoff.com/qualcomm/post/5196451128803328 Here's the point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meiU6TxysCg Unless you think what S&M does is really worth $1563.92 per hour for every hour of the year. — read more

Looks like Jason Bremner is now VP at Google
SVP @ QC = VP @ Google, not so bad
If rampant cronyism and nepotism is known about by HR and higher ups (which it is) and not punished, this is the same as promoting it.
None of the cronies were let go, even the absolutely worthless ones. I would have thought they would be the first to go.
Confirmed 0 H1B employees given layoff notice.
I've attended 3 workshops for resumé writing, entrepreneural skills and general overview. Not a single person is an H1B. Some of these classes have 50+ people. This is sad and unfair.
