In the absence of engineering leadership it is slash and burn. Slash and burn. Say it heading into the office daily, "slash and burn. shareholder savings" TWN just ground up 100,000 dies due to the 'expedited' power plan. laugh a minute those guys.

As title.

In looking at SEC filings it seems that $22 billion dollars have been spent on buybacks and > $80 per QCOM share was paid. Can someone confirm this? I am flabbergasted.

Go download the earnings presentation for yourself. MSM shipments have steadily declined from 919M units in 2014 to about 800M units in 2018. Sure total units of all chips are up, but many of those are "jelly beans" with low ASP. The accountants can... — read more 

Stock collapsing. Have those parachutes at the ready. FTC strikes again next week.

Wanted to upgrade my iphone but hate this gen due to INTC subpar modem. really want to have a Qcom one inside. are you guys coming back in 2020?

SM and CA happy! They will get double bonus!

That’s the only option left. Count down.

Everything is awesome... Everything is awesome... we are doing great... we are doing great... Inspite of business loss... inspite of business loss... Our bonus looks great....!!! (For best result use tunes from... I hear thunder, rhyme)

Cisco no longer great, but alive. Nokia, not so much.

Since he came onboard he whines that the whole world is ganging up on QCOM. Right. But just since you took over. You're bad luck, bad news, whatever. SM is not inspiring, not charismatic not reliable. He should just go out of our misery and step... — read more

QIPL expansion speeded up..............15,000 by end 2020. More RIFing and RAFing. Getting tired of this same old same old........

None I know received & HR seems to be busy painting rosy pictures in RSU pricing... so I am suspecting some internal changes to AR18. If you have received your appraisal, please post your numbers...

Stock expected to plunge by 15%

Basically Qcom is done.

It’s not a matter of whether we are right or wrong anymore, and it’s obvious how mutch we ‘re going to lose if our practices are found to be monopoly behavior in the end, but the fact is that setbacks like these and the general public opinion point... — read more

This board has lately been silent about the server chips. What's happening with the Raleigh team? How is the Firetail chip?

US imposes 25% tariffs on Chinese goods January 1st and if you can't see that will kick off a major trade war, then you're in for a shock. I'm sure there will be the typical theater until then where the puppets pretend to avert a trade war and... — read more 

Qualcomm is the Sears and Roebuck of the tech space. The modem is the Craftsman tool line. The rest will be shut down and the modem team will be hired by Apple....or maybe just some talented engineers. It's sad but true.

Looking for details when , how much. , which sub groups. if anyone can share. cannot take it anymore but cannot wait for $package and I am not talking about UPS package

A big employer recently had a 'climate' survey, asked employees to describe the company in 3 words exactly. You can imagine that didnt exactly go as planned. Describe Q in 3 words : WMH = Work more hours

Heard some rumors regarding this. Is this true?

Announcement about bonus being a bit more than last year is promising. But there may be a catch. More employees may fall in '3' which may be lesser rating than last year's performance for many. Pls post (percentage) of bonus and rsu. The sacrificed... — read more 

Do you think there will be Qualcomm Layoffs in 2019?

Good idea, we should do the same as SM is going to get a huge raise for keeping our stock flat for half a decade while the rest of us have to worry about layoffs.
