It it done for now?? Or again in next quarter they will start!!!cause it seems a small scale one.
Severance
I know some people with just a few months here were laid off. I'm curious, did any of them receive severance?
How is Europe doing today?
Give us a preview of what we can expect here come morning.
At least it happened
We'll have a couple more sleepless nights as they wrap this up and then we can get back to business as usual. The anticipation was the worst part for me, to be honest. Just constantly having to worry about whether tomorrow is the day can't be healthy... — read more
What's the final number?
The number that's been circulating is close to 10k. Can it be true?
Genuine question
Why don’t we see LinkedIn posts from impacted employees? When Meta/Google/Microsoft had layoffs LinkedIn was filled with posts. I don’t see posts from May either.
Qualcomm Bridgewater, NJ
How many were let go here ? I was laid off from here earlier this year, but heard that NJ was also affected today. Just feeling terrible.
This is bad
You know things are bad if India was affected - and majorly, from what I'm reading. I'm not disparaging anybody, I'm just saying that if we are cutting people in the lowest-cost area, the CEO and those around him must be desperate. Usually, they cut... — read more
The leadership said this is supposedly the last round of the year
Does anybody actually believe them? I know I don't. I'm doing my best to find a way out of Qualcomm. There's no future here.
To the old timers who have been affected
I had the bad idea of watching the movie "The Intern" with Robert De Niro. Very depresing to see during a layoff.
Dud
This was as much a dud as the hurricane Hilary. Less than 4 percent in San Diego is the high estimate. Most impact were the offices in other cities, many sites fully closed.
No talk about layoffs in the media
If you search in Google for "Qualcomm" and limit the responses to news and the last 24 hours, there is no mention of layoffs. Not a single... — read more
Shameful
Were people hired just so they could be used as pawns in the layoff? A guy who joined our team five months ago is gone. I think it's unconscionable to hire somebody, have them leave another job, and then lay them off because (most likely) you need... — read more
Is it over?
I doubt it since I can't remember a time when layoffs at Qualcomm only lasted one day, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
What are the options for impacted H1Bs?
I am one of the H1B visa holders who got impacted today in San Diego with 12 years at Qualcomm. What options do I have? I bought a house last year and have kids here in school. Please be respectful in your comments as I am very stressed right now and... — read more
I don't see many people impacted
in california, it should be
Private Jets Safe?
I would lose a lot of sleep thinking the C suite and their VP brother were flying commercial.
MST team status
AFAIK only 6 people were notified on the MST team. Does anybody have more info ?
And now comes.....
...the good-bye lunches the manager(s) who threw you under the bus hold in your honor, calling it "A team-building event". At least the ones not hiding out in their offices. No shame whatsoever.
Sorry and all the best
To all those who got impacted today, I am really sorry for you. It does effect mentally and it’s not 10% of people impacted, it’s 10% of families that got impacted. Please stay strong, take advantage of any resume building, interviewing or... — read more
Lucid Motors is hiring in bay area
Must be willing to relo. SW org (known internally as Digital) has 200+ openings. Suggest you apply on line and reach out via Linkedin to former QCers who work there.
All Layoffs done in SD? How about other sites like India and Netherland?
All Layoffs done in SD? How about other sites like India and Netherland? Any info folks?
What's your severance pkg?
What are you guys getting? 2N + years of service?
I'm surprised that so few people were layed off
People were talking about a large layoff but very people in our group were impacted.
Layoffs done by 2 pm
All layoffs for today should be done by 2 pm. There will be another round tomorrow and Friday. Friday's round should be fairly light.
2 due to be laid off from team of 22 in SD
Team composed of 20 FTEs and 2 consultants. Won't give further details.
Intern Rollovers
With the current situation, do you think summer 23 interns will be given a full time offer back? Finishing MS in a month and have not heard anything
Afternoon round??
If #s are as high as ppl are saying, Action would spill to afternoon. Meeting notices show up 30min-2hrs before the notification meeting.
When do we know if we’re safe? (SD)
New engineer here, GSoC. Except for this site, I’m completely in the dark. Manager hasn’t said anything about layoffs at all, no mail from directors, team hasn’t said anything either. No idea if anyone is impacted in my team or not. If I don’t here... — read more
EngIT impacted
Can confirm layoffs in EngIT in San Diego.
God bless all
VP just notified us that our department layoffs is completed. G-b bless all impacted and so-called survivors. Who knows It won't you next time
Stay Strong...
If you are still looking for jobs: stay strong... I have been there. Felt like giving up on everything. I must've interviewed at 10+ companies in a span of 3 months. No interviews for the next month due to holiday season. I used to choke up when... — read more
Got my GTFO notice after clearing my inbox
Can’t say I didn’t expect it since my former director would do anything to save his bestie. But I’m truly sad because I really like Qualcomm.
So I guess it was too much to expect some communication?
My Sr. Director said on Monday that the cuts would be communicated today. So far, I've heard nothing. So that means I'm safe? They're not doing it today? Who knows?
