Statistically, people who get laid off in their 50s take twice as long as those in their 30s to find a new comparable job. Some never do. In the high tech, the odds for older people are even more grim than that. Q should give all 50+ people they... — read more 

In the mist of a Q rightsizing, why did these guys get such high bonuses? Instead of reducing worker's RSU and bonuses, why aren't these guys effected? We need the money more than these guys need 50M in bonuses.

QC comes up 2nd in search results. Hahahaha. That's the only term where we are shown close to the top

Our CEO and CFO have bought $1.5 million worth of QCOM between the two last week. Something is cooking. You may lose your job but at least you can make some money from this fiasco.

I said this years ago when Intel finally started to make it obvious they wanted to get into mobile: it's only a matter of time before Intel unseats Qualcomm. The beginning is here with Qualcomm wobbling, and Intel steadying. They lost their lead to... — read more
