Anyone heard of layoffs coming this quarter? It was this time last year when we had the last big round so fingers crossed it isn't happening this year on the same scale.

Emea
Another manager has left the emea space. what’s happening over there
Return to office
Us together is better. We must return to the office to increase collaboration. Whoever created the new seating assignments didn't make any effort to keep teams together. Collaboration with anyone BUT your own team. What a joke and an embarrassment for leadership. Rather than fixing it, they doubled down! Who's in charge of the CF $hit$how?!
Stock together down by $3k
Part of the 12/19 group.
Of course once it's deposited in my TOD acct isn't thousands lower....smh.
Anyone else?
No point in thinking about retirement
There was a time when retiring here felt guaranteed. That hasn’t been true for at least a decade. With constant layoffs, retirement feels like a distant luxury. Most of us are too busy worrying about what tomorrow might bring to think that far ahead. That’s the reality we’re living in.
CDW Will Eventually go Bankrupt
As a former senior engineer at CDW I can say without a doubt that the company is in serious trouble. I made six figures basically doing nothing because internal politics prevented me from receiving projects.
While it was great for a time, I realized my skills were degrading and jumped ship for another opportunity. Thanks CDW for the free money and certifications!😂😂
Layoffs
If you believe the layoffs are less than 20%, then either you’re seriously misinformed or you’re not actually working at Qualcomm.
And if you’ve been here for more than 10 years, be careful- you could be in trouble.
What is going on?
What is actually going on with this company???
So many people are being laid off. ICs are being thrown away. Teams are on very slim resources. Performance is degraded.
What are they trying to achieve? Are they planning to move everything to offshore?
snow days & attendance tracking
We’ve had at least two significant storms in the last few weeks, depositing 12-18 inches across the region. And a smattering of smaller snowfalls also affecting commutes.
What is the official expectation from corporate for weekly attendance when there is a snow day? No one has said whether we are expected to make up that attendance day later in the week. Seems logical that we wouldn’t have to, but there has been no official word and people are uneasy.
Moreover, even if we’re not expected to make up the day — will attendance tracking reports consider snow days, or will they hurt our average days in attendance?
Crocodile tears
Regarding Kevin's meeting and the effort he's making for employees. Kevin just sold $1,000,000 worth of stock. Do not trust them. They are trying to keep you productive up until they can discard you.
STI changes
Does anyone know what changes are being made to the STI program for 2026? The communication sent to managers makes it sound like negative things are headed our way.
Surplus Already !
All this talk is getting old.
Severance package
Pretty sure more Layoffs are coming for us. Can those recently let go please let us know what the new severance package is so we can all prepare
Any update
Does anyone know what’s going on today? Executives are all onsite and leaders have hinted to fires going on
What's happening with 220?
It's clear they're either going to gut it or tear it down, it's just a matter of time. Why else would they have only like 3 (above ground) floors in service? It's weird hearing about how some functions don't have desks but we've got 10 empty floors in 220. This feels like a metaphor for... something.
$249
Look out below. Market has lost faith in Arvind and Jim's financial engineering shenanigans.
Next Layoff Details
Can someone describe what the process is for deciding which round you are a part of for the layoffs? I know I was marked because of what I was linked to workwise and sus behavior this year, but what determines what wave you are a part of? I have nothing to do and not sure why I am still here with nothing to do.
Nearly March 2026 any news on pay?
After numerous promises by different leaders across 2025 has anybody heard anything?
Non Qual Def Comp
I like how the bank sits on our money earning interest for a week prior to paying it out. Should be criminal.
Is 2/23 RIF day for sure?
Anyone know with certainty? Any details?
Offshore is still your enemy.
I have seen team after team's work get stolen by ireland or India, and then those teams dismantled.
US employees, when your team starts interacting with ireland or india in anyway way, know that their goal is to acquire your work so that your job can be eliminated.
I saw 2 teams in rx last week that developed a system, and slowly brought in the Irish, those entire us teams were eliminated on Friday.
Do NOT cooperate with ireland at any cost. Don't respond to their emails, don't assist them, etc...
M-rating
I received an M rating, and people are telling me it’s bad? . I’m the smartest person on my team and my “boss” is an unqualified Saudi woman. I’ve emailed her boss and told him as much, but I don’t know if that will help? To those of you considering coming here, be mindful they prioritize their own despite how much value you may add.
Mr. Hemsley…
Stop this madness. Pseudo leaders are gaming the system. Dedicated resources are sidelined or laid off. Sycophancy is the name of the game.
This will end worse than your experience at Enron. STOP THIS NOW.
They'll offshore every job they possibly can
And now this whole merit situation. Makes you wonder why we even bother, really.
It looks like I made it through this round
But it doesn’t feel like a win. I really feel for the people who lost their jobs, especially given the current circumstances, and it angers me that so many of them were exemplary employees. I’m not a big fan of my job either. I reached my limit long ago, maxed out on exhaustion, disappointment, and ethical conflict. I’m not glad I survived, I’m just relieved I’ll still have money to pay the bills.
how is the HCL deal progressing?
less employees, less customers too. ? contract breach. ?
Missing final paycheck
According to the severance agreement I was supposed to get my final paycheck today but it has yet to hit my bank. Is anyone else missing their final paycheck to?
2-20 any more layoffs?
Any teams impacted today?
Super quiet lately
Hmmm. Somethings brewing.
Karan Gupta - UHC
Read about Karan'$ actions.
Hopefully someone in this organization is paying attention around this hen house.
SEC Celebration
We are laying people off weekly, expecting a huge tech layoff in Q4 but we can afford to have large celebrations offsite. Wake up everyone this isn’t the old Nike anymore.
Late stage capitalism is in the air
Not laid off yet, but all my projects have somehow been distributed to other teams.
Payer Solutions
How you are feeling after the recent layoffs and complete change in leadership?
2/20?
Are there going to be anymore impacts today?
VSPers - Mail from Lake Mary
I was expecting a piece of mail from Lake Mary FL last week. I got a photo of it from the USPS but I never got the actual letter. Can anyone tell me what it is and if it's worth the trouble of tracking down?
Is the EJ partnership a Cult? You decide…
Seeing all the curated nonsense coming from the partner meeting on Amplify, I asked Gemini to share characteristics of a cult. Here’s what it gave me.
“Cults are typically defined by a charismatic, unaccountable leader, high-control, and exploitative behavior, often utilizing thought reform and isolation to create total dependency. Key markers include unquestioning commitment to the leader, intolerance of criticism, and a, "us-versus-them" mentality. Examples include isolation from family/friends and mandatory, constant financial or time commitments.
Key Characteristics of a Cult
- Charismatic, Authoritarian Leader: The group revolves around a leader who is viewed as the ultimate authority, often a messianic figure, who is not accountable to any authorities.
- Isolation and Control: Members are isolated from the outside world, including friends and family, to foster dependency.
- Coercive Persuasion/Thought Reform:Techniques like chanting, meditation, or intense work routines are used to suppress doubt and force compliance.
- Exploitation: Leaders often financially, emotionally, or se-----y exploit members.
- "Us vs. Them" Mentality: The group creates conflict with wider society, viewing themselves as superior or enlightened.
- No Tolerance for Questions: Dissent, criticism, or doubt is discouraged or severely punished.
- Preoccupation with Money/Recruitment: The group constantly seeks new members and funds, demanding significant personal resources.
- Fear of Leaving: Members often fear reprisals or believe there is no life outside the group.”
