This board is no longer a place for Qualcomm employees to trade intel or vent frustrations. Since Broadcom can’t buy us, they have now infiltrated this site with their bigotry and racist hate spew. I am more relieved everyday we didn’t end up having... — read more
Get my money back?
I prepaid my trunk lunches for the year to save some $$. Do you think I can get my money back if I'm affected? The tacos and 'soup' every day is getting old also.
Rumour Land
First time in this website. Here is my impression: Bunch of lazy people spending time here rather than doing something productive. If you are worried about layoff, please find alternative revenue stream. At least work on it. Some old Qualcomm-ers... — read more
Honestly I stopped believing anything this website posted after the first racist posts sparked up.
And you should too. Nothing anyone has said in this has ever been true
You all think you are better off without Broadcom? I dont think so .The layoffs will be just as bad
and at least Hock Tan had a plan , a vision, an escape route for a company who is failing miserably.More than Qualcomm can say it has. Is it executing on anything productive ?
Broadcom should have been allowed to purchase Qualcomm.It has nothing to do with security and all to do with
political influence by people who are selfish and self serving .
We should have joined Broadcom
Anybody else really regretting the fact that the Broadcom acquisition didn't go through more and more or is it just me? As far as I can see, now that that deal is off, Qualcomm situation has only managed to become much more uncertain on daily bases... — read more
Not going to take any chances
Going to WFH all next week.

Is it going to start on Monday 04/16??
This thread states that notifications will start tomorrow (Apr 16) https://www.thelayoff.com/t/SG9hHjs Is this even true?
Qualcomm needs fresh perspective . We dont want old stale "status quo " directors coming back to try to privatize
Qualcomm to feed their own egos.
Why does SM get paid so much .60 million in 2015 .Puts him number 6 on the highest paid US CEO's
If that doent make you mad it should . The state of the company under his leadership does not match his compensation. He has crippled the company.
Layoffs are decided by Major Investor / Banks
Layoffs are often decided by banks who bring their number cruncher analyst (computer simulator user) to decide who stays and who goes . How many people go etc . In reality they don’t care if you are male , female , US born or not — these items are... — read more
Anyone get a meeting invite to
Del Mar race track next week?
high tech is the biggest abusers of the H1B program in this country .You want it changed lobby your government .The program needs overhauled.It
is a total fabrication to say there is a shortage of American engineers available and so we need to hire foreign ones.
Stop blaming people who came here for a job. What did you expect them to do? Blame Qualcomm who pumps 110million into the jacob school
of engineering only to turn around and hire offshore foreign engineers. So much for taking care of your own first.
Trump pissed of China!!!
Dont think NXP deal will get approved. Sell your stock.
confirmed news ,not BS
if you're related to CEO or president you won't be fired! nepotism first, company second!
IOT teams 40% reduction. Server team 50% reduction 50% transfers, QCT 80 names on the list.
Staff and Senior staff will be most impacted. Senior Engg. and Engg. are safe until someone hates you. Directors will notify as they please. 60 day period is not for everyone. If you have work left you will get 60 days to transfer the projects, if... — read more
If it was an attempt to bump up shares, it's failaing
A lot of people here are saying that PJ's move was simply a stunt to bring up the stock price. Well, if that was the case, it failed spectacularly. The price was bumped up slightly before it started sliding back down just a few hours later. Some... — read more
Why do the shareholders allow this board to sit? Where are the activists? You cant complain about the company and share price and at the
same time allow this board to continue .Tom Horton stated in January quote " NXP is all buttoned up" just waiting on the Chinese New Year to pass and we will get approval.Broadcom quote "is not even in the ballpark" with their offer Really ?????? The... — read more

Serious insider news about PJ taking company private

Take it private
Take this company offline Paul. So I can get all my unvested RSU's right away and go wherever I want. No more a** kissing of institutional investors to keep the stock price up. Make profits for yourself and employees. Screw Market. Market has done... — read more
Everyone is ignoring the elephant in the room.....nevermind whether or not China approves NXP.The shareholders are absolutely not on board with
deal .Can you blame them??????? NXP IS DEAD but not because of China.
ARM refutes press that says it has been in talks with PJ regarding financing . This is nothing more than a distraction.If he couldnt
run it well when he was on the board how could he possibly think he can be a success now? Just cant face the fact he was thrown off board of Daddy's company.

In the 2015 layoff, the link was given in the AHM. I had a gander today, and it's been updated for 2018. Here's the post from the last time this came around https://www.thelayoff.com/t/DDdK0ap Keep your head up, even if you and I are axed next week... — read more
Can he do this?
Anybody believes Jacobs can actually pull this off? I thought this sounded too far fetched when there was first mention of it, but now that he is renewing his intent and getting serious about it... I don't know, I'm starting to think he might have... — read more
