Q Layoff - I heard that there might a healthcare bundling in the layoff package. My wife is pregnant and the due date is around the layoff time.
Can anybody provide any color re: the following - if I do get laid off in November'15, is it still possible to continue on the same healthcare plan? Or is it just that Q will add some money to the package to take care of any healthcare premium... — read more

Ok Q-Nerds. How many of you actually have have a "smart" IOT appliance in your home...
Like a Nest thermostat or smoke detector??? I suspect the answer is not many....First, it's a stupid idea. Second, some of you aren't homeowners and probably don't spend much on home automation.

I wonder how much will the CNY have to be devalued...
...before the people in charge of the Q regret storing all of that cash offshore instead of just repatriating it and paying the tax?
More layoffs!!!
There will be many more layoffs. Just look what has turned up since the layoff announcement; Intel in iPhone 7, China currency devaluation, MTK taking 40% of LTE, and we are not done yet.
Now I understand why all those 1%er from China were buying real estate in the US...
They must have smelled the falling Yuan as something that was going to happen in the future, so they were quickly converting as much to USD as possible. Perhaps, this is just the beginning....How much is the Yuan down so far, in the past couple of... — read more
Company for Qompanyman!
How many of you agree that the Q is some sort of magnet for companymen across lines of nationality, race, religion, creed and technical background. A snitch-army that was designed to implode after the bubble that the last decade was.
Another Day Another Yuan Devaluation
15% headcount reduction won't be enough.

Murthy and Cristiano's QCOM shares holding
http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/qcom/insider-trades Does that mean Murthy and Cristiano only hold 720 and 820 QCOM shares? Hope it's not true.
QCOM HOPES ITS NEW CHIP SET WILL BE USED BY SAMSUNG. AH AH, NO, NO, AND NO!. SAMSUNG IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON ITS OWN PROPRIETY CHIP SET
AND THEY DON'T NEED Q ANYMORE. BASICALLY, Q WILL LAY OFF MORE USELESS ENGINEERS BY THE END OF NEXT EARNING REPORTS. THE MANAGEMENT WILL STAY STRONG AND TAKE OVER ENGINEERS' WORKS. THAT'S THE PLAN

Yup, I'd say it's going to be even a tougher next quarter...Not just for Q but every semi company counting on overseas business....51% of revenue from China, that's just wth the Q.... Wack 2% off just on currency fluctuations.
