dothill at Longmont, CO, they have not advertised positions, but they have 100s openings
good pay, close to denver, tech hubs, inexpensive city and homes, LOT of outdoor activities
We grew cocky, we grew spoiled, we grew fat
That's the issue, there was and still is a huge sense of entitlement here - all of us. We forgot the days when it was hard to make a buck, and we got spoiled with perks, bonuses, RSUs, nince pay, free food, and all other perks. Now, things are... — read more
Sigma Designs
I hear they are hiring big time - Fremont, Shenzen, Shanghai, Copenhagen, Freiburg, Singapore, Amsterdam, Taipei - Check them out http://www.sigmadesigns.com
They never lay-off any one, all rumors, just they cut down our salary by 70%
They dont have to pay severance package
I am the HR cheerleader and I'm concerned about our ranking on the Forbes Best Places to Work list
Guys, let's keep cheering and vote appropriately in the next Forbes survey so that we maintain or move higher in rank on next year's list. We are taking care of everyone the Qualcomm Way, so our rank should reflect that. Thanks everyone and all is... — read more
What should rating I rate myself (or try to receive from my manager) this review cycle to ensure I get a GTFO package but not PIP'd?
This next review cycle will be brutal, and we will be walking a fine line between getting a GTFO package or getting PIP'd. Do you think that getting a 3 this cycle will get you PIP'd? Would a 4 be sufficient to get a GTFO package? One data point I... — read more
Buying @ $55
Guys, I don't work @ Qualcomm, just an individual investor. Recently Qualcomm got my attention and I came up with my own estimation. I am going to buy its stock @ $55. Do you think it is a wise plan or I should hold on any purchase after the breakup?
Changes to Vacation Plans Coming
Get unlimited time off under the new plan. True? Any HR folks here? Many Tech Companies are doing it.
Do you prefer this site on a desktop or mobile?
I find the mobile version confusing.
Kyocera
Maybe we go back to Kyocera and buy back our cell phone manufacturing business? That'd be genius.
Apply for jobs before others, sell your homes before others
smart ways to go
It's noon, going to lunch, will be back around 1:30 p.m.
Will log back in promptly at 1:30 p.m. - it's good to chat with you guys
Sorry guys I haven't been posting until now. I just got to work. Getting back from the beach was took a lot longer than usual
....But it's lunch time now...So I'll be back in about 2 hours...
70% reduction in program management in San diego
Not surprising given the number of program managers that have exponentially increased over the past 3 years..what do they do really other than collecting status and sending emails...
How productive have you been since the announcement???
Get much done?
Folks, the lag from now until mid-sept is to allow attrition to have some effect in reducing # of GTFO packages given out
We're trying to save money here. Should try to GTFO ASAP to have the highest chance of securing your next gig. I for one would rather not be unemployed over the holidays, even if it means not getting a GTFO package. By the time hiring picks up again... — read more
If layoffs will drag on through 2016 - we'll be spending a lot of time here on layoff.com, right?
Is it safe to assume that the Corporate will keep it secretive as they did before?
The end of Qualcomm is on the horizon
Shareholders are just going to rape the company of profits and move on to the next sucker.
Breaking Qualcomm up into two companies makes no sense from an ongoing business perspective
The entire idea of breaking Qualcomm up into two companies, for example, makes no sense from an ongoing business perspective — but it makes great sense if you’re an investor who believes the real money is in patent licensing (an extremely high-margin... — read more
Qualcomm conquered by the cult of shareholder value
There is a reason for these dramatic changes, but it’s not because Qualcomm had a down quarter. The company has been taken over by activist investors who are pushing the company to make changes and commit to stock buybacks that will boost the profits... — read more
Qualcomm has only one real business - licensing
They have 14 parasitic businesses that bleed money and spawn shit-tier products and people. They have no reason to be anything but a mid-level company that should have no aspirations of having a 'marketing' group or UIX or crappy consumer targeted... — read more
The timing of the layoff announcement and when it actually happens is probably going to be 2-3 months...Hopefully....
I hope Q doesn't do the asshole thing to you guys and drag it out until November/December...Because if that happens, good luck finding a job right around Thanksgiving and Christmas.... Ho ho ho (Ba hum bug)...
QC lay-off: How much unemployment benefit I get? Enough to pay my home mortgage?
I am wondering unemployment benefit is enough to pay my mortgage until I sell it?
Timing of Layoffs announcement
Why did it take so long just to announce that "15% cuts in mid september"? They could have announced that much earlier, maybe as soon as it got leaked. The long delay has caused much stress and demotivation not to mention loss of productivity.
