Much better opportunities elsewhere. Get out while you can.

The first thing to go is stock comp, why would a private company ever dilute shares? Also say goodbye to severance, they let you quit on your own due to sh--ty comp. All go-private routes require some kind of iBank banking who want to recoup their... — read more

So, this is what the media/government calls a "Booming, Best Ever Economy in America!" Layoffs ONLY IN THE LAST 30 DAYS, and for every layoff reported publicly, at least 10 happen quietly or without media attention. Major layoffs have been going on... — read more

This is not the metaphor. Bad time is the head as layoff is coming to the QCT Time to update CV and plan the future escape from death of the Qualcomm.

was there a hint of another layoff in QCT from RP? looked like SG was tring to brush it off as a minor one..what was that all about.. :O

Not just 6000, at least 8000 sooner to save QCOM. Until then I have shorted the stock with 45 price target.

What goes around comes around!!! QC is much better without this $ucker!!!!!

PTE and PQE ripe for a lightning strike. Look to some long-timers exiting and some skilled folks tasked to wrap up stuff for SCE to take over.

Only nobody notices since it's only one or two people at the time. But just ask around, you'll see it's happening all over the company. Please don't get lulled into a falls sense of security. We are far from being stable and far from layoffs no... — read more

I heard this time the CAD and IP groups are affected. Frankly both groups should be 1/4 th the size they are. The CAD team is a piece of joke run by another ready-to-die VP in Udi Landen. Every dik is a prinicipal or above. The other team that doesnt... — read more

How is it looking in server these days?

Is it just me, or has there been a small slowdown in layoffs in the past few months? I keep hoping it will last...

If you have encountered any issue, raise your concern & communicate with experts @ employee assistant program. Your posts here do not help with anything.

No explanation needed.

The numbers don’t lie, and even though the decline in revenue is not dramatic, it was sad to see that Q is the only company that couldn’t make better YoY numbers even with a relatively big demand on the market. A lot has happened in the past year and... — read more

Reduction and outsourcing

What do you think?

Just read an article about the drop. Is that true?

Not trying to stir up anything, I’m just curious what each individual’s reasoning is for staying with this company. It sure seems like the writing is on the wall, and more importantly, they seem to have chosen to do business in ways that, to me, seem... — read more

Got the information at lunch today, lot of people will lose jobs. Most of the jobs will be outsourced to Hyderabad.

Lots of experienced engineers in QDT are recruited by MS and Qualcomm has no money to support next-gen server processor development.

Nothing but success and good times ahead for Qualcomm! All the losers have been laid off now so more $$$ for us that actually contribute to Qualcomm’s success. GOOD RIDDANCE LOSERS!

Open a design Center in Cupertino. I am confident Apple engineers will come to Qualcomm in droves. They would be happy lo quit a loser company like Apple and join a real winner like Qualcomm
