I don't know what is worse: 1) the Oakland RAIDERS coming into Qualcomm stadium and their fans infiltrating seats from the local fans or 2) the Corporate RAIDERS coming into Qualcomm board room and in infiltrating seats from other board members

Today I got an email from my manager that I'm safe however 3 engineers i work with will be terminated unless they can find a new group. I feel kind of guilty. One of them is a 16 year veteran and one of the smartest people I've ever met.

hahahah i just remembered another shitty Qualcomm venture that died on the vine. Gimbal, oh my i'm laffen. Another in the long list of multi-million dollar wastes of time.

Qualcomm has been thriving on importing and abusing low-cost H1-B workers as replacement for their older age workers. If they "layoff" employees, they wouldn't legally be able to get new H1-B workers in the future because they wouldn't be able to... — read more 

Are there changes/tweaks to this early review cycle? Did managers receive any new/special guidelines?

Worth a short read.... http://iveybusinessjournal.com/publication/downsizing-isnt-what-its-cracked-up-to-be/

I am wondering how will a PIPed team do as being in charge with restructuring.

You might put for sale signs on your cars for those of us Americans in the market to buy. Also, some community organizer type should start a lunch time daily parking lot trunk sale at the open lot building N. Party in the parking lot at least.

Is there any point in trying work hard and hope this will never happen to you?or it's just the delaying the eventual and eventually most of us in QCT SD will be let go sooner or later?

I got a very good rating the review before the last one (actually the highest one there) when I got promoted. Last review I got promoted and got a 3. Would they be still considering me for layoff or do they have a procedure to think about people who... — read more 

There is no transparency in the team. Manager is worst and he is not capable, playing all internal politics to safe guard his own position and his friend's position in the team.

And don't worry about healthcare, Obama's got you covered there.....

Join one of those outsourcing companies like WiPro, Tata, or Infosys. They'll sponsor your H1-B in return for you taking a compensation hit of 1/2 of what you wre previously making.....You know, because those shady companies do just that to try to... — read more 

The U.S. job market is saturated, U.S. companies are in decline. Go home. Go back where there's more opportunity.

A lot of you are naively wondering why all this is going to happen so close to the next RSU vest date. If you think this is a coincidence, Lol.....If Qualcomm was "decent", if you do get terminated, they would let you burn through your accrued... — read more 

Option 1: Look for another employer that will sponsor you. Go to the bay area, if you must or anywhere (you don't need to start over). Option 2: Marry someone here that has a U.S. Citizenship. Option 3: Take a flight into Mexico, then pay $3000 or so... — read more 

It doesn't matter who you are , all you slackers here need to GTFO Qualcomm. Go work on your resume rather than complaining here. Reading posts here won't get you anythin in life . Why I am Here ? Just curious how my ex employer and co workers are... — read more 

LOL! Chumps!

Check this link below, how FxCK it is. I could be a director as well. https://www.thelayoff.com/qualcomm/post/5445875451035648#post

We are a self centered bunch, aren't we. Oh, QC...

SM mentioned in the all hands, there will be two months transition time. So, people can stay in Qual two more months to look for new job after laid off, right ?

The group produces nothing much and is as useful as maybe a small training people team.

While I still can't believe the layoff announcement that has come as a rude shock. For qualcomm to retain key contributors that are working in the key product areas, they should be notified immediately and given assurance that their positions won't... — read more 

I left QC few months ago. I was trying to refer folks from my previous team to my current company. I asked my company's HR and she told me that every QCOMer signed non-solicitation agreement on their first day at QC. This agreement prohibits me to... — read more 

I'm pretty stoked. 5 of my 6 tenants just renewed their 1 year lease, including my slight price increase. Sure glad these 5 don't work at Qualcomm. The sixth one does, and wants to remain month to month...Lol....

But I'm just an engineer and I enjoy creating value at any cost.Here is a freebie: We are "right-locating". You're welcome.

raise your hand if your starting to get the bigger picture at the Q and what is coming down the road for us all. Slow on the take much??????
