Qualcomm family!

Is the layoff news emboldening the shorts or encouraging them to cover? Whatever's happening, a slide towards the true reality of matters is most likely not in the cards until the company speaks. Watching and wandering?

Ever since I started working here, I always was told Qualcomm folks were too arrogant. I actually thought there was some truth to that. But now, as most of us face the possibility of losing our jobs, I am seeing a bit more humility among the real... — read more

Qualcomm is far from silicon valley and is doomed to fail very quickly for its bad culture and competition from China. SD is gonna suck like Detroit in 10 years. If you are young, come to SV asap. What other choice do you have if you keep staying in... — read more 

Heard no impact to marketing teams! No budget cuts. Only the stinking engineers ... getting rid if bloat

if it's the case i think it's a bad news for all of us ...

The anti-trust implications are as bad as with China. Western Europe is one of the most advanced parts of the world for mobile devices. How does no one care how it affects us, especially given the numbers of layoffs upcoming next week.

Folks, the cupcakes were meant as a tasty snack to accompany the celebration of an amazing quarter; this is our Diamond Celebration. So long as there is imagination in this world, Qualcomm's mission to rapidly revolutionize technology (#WhyWait) will... — read more

Wall St. must know BIG layoffs are coming to make stock rise after such a dire announcement.

My god, some of you that work here really need to take care of your personal hygiene. Because when you just slightly sweat in the labs, you completely stink up the entire place. It's gross. You can afford a small stick of deodorant. Use it. Because... — read more

Afterall, that's the only thing that really matters, right? I mean, the Q is now a wall street company, and that's the most important thing....(snicker snicker).
