Qualcomm Invented a SmartPhone

The racism begins at the PINK badge.qualcomm HR is to blame for it. Period.
I hate wearing a badge which is color coded to identify me as an immigrant. I know of no other company that does this nonsense...fail Qualcomm HR.
Qualcomm's fundamentals have changed
Even more change could be coming in the way of a possible split between the QCT and QTL, which also has questionable benefits (if not detrimental) to the long term investor. Lower margins, shrinking revenues, loss of market share, and the presence of... — read more

H1B WORKER - DROP YOUR MOUSE and put your hands behind your back RIGHT NOW DO IT! you are under arrest for stealing US job! what you say maybe
used against you in the court of law - LOL
I've tried to reach out to three of my QCOMM friends to see if they're okay and if I can offer them help (my place is hiring big time)
...But I got not response. Just trying to be a nice guy but I guess there is a sense of pride and/or anger (delusion?). Was I wrong for asking? I didn't use Emoji.

Seriously, decent posts get like 1000 views in 30 minutes, what's up with that? Don't our folks have anything else to do during work hours? That's massive, 1000 people checking this thing out is massive, for example this post is going to reach more... — read more
Samsung Layoffs
Samsung's board here has like zero posts. What's up with that? MediaTek too. Intel is fairly active. We are f-ed? Aren't we.
QTime Rant
My rant of the day. I really see no point in keeping a time card when we're told to fake the hours by never entering anything other than 40 hours a week. Of course, the software prevents entries beyond 40 hours a week - but it still irks me! That's... — read more

When shit happens like layoffs. There are two kinds of people you will encounter.

Three MUST do things for QC
1) Professional engineers don't need two bosses. This could save significant money by eliminating redundancy. 2) Engineers waste far too much time in meetings. This should be limited to no more than 3 hours per week. If the redundant layer of useless... — read more

Qualcomm lay-off impacting housing markets already
Inventories up, buyers delaying home buying. More pain early next year with second round of lay-off.
what should i write on my self feedback form to avoid being laid off???
i haven't been productive since last year. help needed!!!!!!
I recommend that you folks get a sharpie and color your blue badges pink if you want to save your job.
That way, people think you cost less than the other blue badges....
On Q Execs not liking this site
In fact, this site should be an asset for them - this is the only way they hear what people ACTUALLY think, and not sugar coated feedback nonsense each of us give them on a regular basis. This is the true face of QC, a lot of anger, frustration, some... — read more
