There is a good chance SD housing market will dip 10-20% in three months evev FED don't raise the interest rate
The previous poster is lying.
Staff, Sr. Staff and Directors are going to get hit the hardest (as a percentage), Engineers and Senior Engineers with less than 2 years with Qualcomm are also getting hit pretty hard. Notices will be spread out for 3 layoff dates: November, Jan and... — read more
Confirmed. Headcount reduction mostly going to hit more junior engineers
With the exception of personality conflicts and poor results on reviews, most of the hit will end up coming from the more inexperienced engineers, those at the senior engineer title and lower with relatively low number of years at the company... — read more
Don't make your children software engineers, they also become slaves like you, your job is for highschool dropouts not for graduates
U.S. Should train highschool dropoots for your position.
Good luck guys
Good luck to everyone this week. To all those who get a GTFO package, you will find another gig and will likely decide that this turned out to be a good thing. For those that don't, good luck, but you might wind up wishing you had gotten a package... — read more
Yes, there really IS a Crapdragon!"
Forget drones! In an effort to prove he is still relevant to Qualcomm's relentless pursuit of the Internet of Things, Murthy stands poised to announce this week that the 810 chip will be featured in a new line of water-saving flush toilets... — read more
I am a gazzionaire doctor that didn't go to college. All you engineers are losers..
Yes it's rreally.is true... I make a gazillion bucks with my MD from university of phoenix. I tried to be an engineer but devry was too damn hard. I couldn't get the difference between current and voltage.
Some rumors from SiliconInvestor message boards
BTW, I am not the same poster as SI boards. But my colleague directly reported to SteveMo in Globalstar and later in RF systems from 1996- 2001. He clearly said that Steve used to be a genuinely good caring and approachable man back then, not at all... — read more
Wonder if the Teamsters would be interested in groundbreaking attempt to sign up engineers? At QC we are no longer professionals anyway
It's just a sweatshop for heads...add sewing machines to the lab benches and it would be complete. And I think that attempting to lay off employees involved in union organizing is a nice lawsuit. Just sayin..
Resistance is futile
Engineers are too much morons . Management knows that you enjoy being screwed! Lol
Mentioned to a friend over the weekend that Qualcomm is laying off 15% plus of workforce starting next week.
His answer was "I hope Chargers will do well". Bravo Q on a well thought world class marketing campaign. What about the idiot brought from Intel inside? Is he still getting 500k plus / yr for doing nothing?
Qualcomm posting jobs
Just to make things worse for the employees affected, jobs are showing up on Monster, Indeed, etc. Execs are laughing all the to the bank.
What's up with all the fake postings from loser minimum wage workers that pretend to be doctors, pretend to be..
real estate experts in thinking housing will crash 50%, that are trolling the Q sections here? Is it that they are so miserable be a minimum wage worker and struggle financially so bad, that they so desperately are hoping others will be brought down... — read more

hahaha. Seeing all the depressed posts and comments from you pathetic engineers makes me happy. My primary-care practice grossed in almost $2 million last year. It'll probably be the same this year. I replace two doctors who worked for me with two... — read more
Considering secret meeting between H. Clinton and I. Jacobs, I predict thousands of H-1Bs will be brought over at some point, even after layoff

Predictions. IPhone 6s sales are going to be really good..
When carriers start offering $400 rebates to trade in an old iPhone for a new 6s, people are going to upgrade, no doubt. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/verizon-planning-generous-trade-in-offer-for-old-iphones-173115526.html That's bad news for Android... — read more

If you laid-off and on H1b visa, we have to leave the country in 10 days, max 30 days on extension unless QC didn't report to USCIS
It is illegal if we overstayed, h1b will not be transferred and it get cancelled. Just confirmed with my lawyer.

Do not let SM get away with this. Let's all make this layoff blow up in his face by walking off the job
Deliver some payback instead of bending over for him
Walkout will not work because too many are debt slaves
Vast majority are shackled to debt, so they do not have the luxury of standing up for what's right. Unfortunately this means that management's practices will not be exppsed and they can perpetuate these behaviors at the expense of future generations... — read more
What would you say? (to someone that got affected with Right Sizing)

Samsung S6 Drops Qualcomm LTE Modem on AT&T phones?
So I guess some of us were right afterall. Samsung not only dropped the app processor from the S6 completely, but also dropped Qualcomm's LTE modem chip for AT&T S6/S6 edge, using their own 333 modem. Wow. This is a big deal. Because it means Samsung... — read more
