Wow! And I bet some smart undergrads will come up with some better solutions than CEO SM and CFO GD.

Can all the employees draft a petition to the board requesting it to change the management?. How long can employees continue to face the brunt of poor and greedy management?

SM still or CA ? ? Spark notes ; If SM to be the CEO, why would/should NXP leadership/CEO report into him ? If SM is axes and a new CEO (outsider/insider) is brought in place, NXP CEO wont like it. If NXP CEO become the new CEO, QC leadership is a... — read more

...........he almost made a blunder by paying $82 !!

Email today confirmed that building M will have mass layoffs in the coming weeks. Another to follow in FY19. Pack your bags now and clear out your sh--.

Why aren't CFO and CEO buying the stock if they are so sure $82 undervalues the company?

Current CFO and CEO are responsible for dismal performance that took the stock back to levels of 12 years ago. That is professionally embarrassing for them.

SM announcing resignation at all hands this Friday (4/27)

Do we ride it all the way to the 30s ? At what price does SM fall ?

Seriously, why did we put most of our eggs in one foreign basket that does not like foreign companies all that much? And that is particularly known for making life difficult for said companies? And now we are shocked that it is coming back to bite is... — read more

They let go at least 1200 globally. This is before NXP acquisition. Overlapping position will be eliminated after acquisition in November. Hopefully that’s last big lay off of the year.

China and Mofcom have dangled this for a long time. Can they seriously hold it up for more than few months?

wait for another 3000 layoff... Are you excited?

We can reduce 1billion more by removing SM and CA.

Are the layoffs to be continued the upcoming week? I made for the last, so at least I could have a decent weekend.

SM and GD need to go. Abysmal stock performance and loss of industry leadership.

Has it gone up or the same ?

Be prepared to ask really really tough questions to SM. The real question is...why is he still here when 1500 people let go? When will he and CA step down and take responsibility for destroying livelihoods of people ....

While you still have a job for the next few weeks. I just started, going to take $200k out and invest it in tech stocks. Figure I can just live off that for a long time.

Just a piece of advise, if you've been affected. Max out your 401K to get max of the employers' contribution for this year. Next payroll deadline is 2nd May, so it'll show up on 11th MAY paycheck. Same for HSA.
