It was good to see that Finance were taking budget control matters so seriously that they held a large, global F2F meeting in San Diego.

Hope the bbq at the boss's mansion limited the catering budget.

I’ve been working at the San Diego office doing PMIC validation for over two years now. My day to day is mostly testing the PMIC chips, screening for defects, and putting together reports and slides. Honestly, once you figure out what to look for, the work is incredibly easy. You definitely don’t need a degree to do it, yet management keeps hiring people with Master's degrees and PhDs. It feels like a massive waste of talent.

The worst part is that you’re heavily judged here not by the actual quality of your work, but by how the tech leads perceive your social skills. From talking to people in other departments, it seems like Qualcomm in general has this issue, but it feels way worse in PMIC. Maybe because the work is so simple that a test monkey could do it, so managers focus on politics instead? I’ve barely learned anything here and honestly feel like my technical skills are rotting.

I tried casually talking to a few coworkers about how easy the work is and how unfair and rude the leads can be, but they got super defensive right away, so I stopped bringing it up.

For anyone who has worked here or in similar teams: is PMIC validation in San Diego known for being super low on the technical side, or did I just land in a bad group?

Wow, here in Switzerland, the word is that with the recent setbacks in clinical trials and abandoned dr-g candidates, leadership needs to save more money. Well, one site that could be jeopardized is the one in San Diego. Expect serious reductions in footprint and headcount!!

Who else ?

San Diego arts organizations are experiencing significant staff reductions due to ongoing financial difficulties. The Institute of Contemporary Art San Diego (ICA) recently laid off 42% of its staff, citing a growing budget deficit. Similarly, the San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA) also reduced its workforce by eleven employees in August. Former ICA employees have alleged financial mismanagement contributed to their layoffs and the organization's operational challenges. These cuts highlight a broader trend of funding struggles impacting arts institutions across the nation.

The San Diego Housing Commission has reduced its workforce by 14% due to financial challenges. This decision involved eliminating vacant positions and dismissing 32 staff members in February. Agency leadership cited federal funding shifts and local budget uncertainties as primary reasons for the cuts. Despite cost-saving measures, the commission faces declining resources while demand for services increases. The agency aims to maintain essential services for current clients despite these constraints.

San Diego Unified School District is preparing to eliminate over 200 positions. These potential cuts affect various roles, including cafeteria workers, bus drivers, and aides. The district hopes to reassign about half of the affected employees. This would leave approximately 70 individuals facing actual layoffs. Other districts in the county are also considering widespread cuts.

Taking a moment to appreciate my time at Teradata San Diego.

On the Customer Success team, I've learned that great technology only matters when it changes something real for the people using it — and I've gotten to see that happen week after week. The talent here is remarkable, but what stands out most is the culture: people who share credit freely, jump in without being asked, and genuinely root for one another.

Add in the energy of the San Diego campus, and it's easy to see why this place is special.

Proud and grateful to be part of this team. 🧡

Reminds me of 2003 and 2007 fires.

Dozens of San Diego Unified School District employees will receive new job offers. These employees previously faced potential layoffs earlier this year. The district reached agreements with three employee associations. Sixty-nine at-risk employees can now accept new district roles. Human Resources found existing open positions for the upcoming school year.

The City of San Diego faces a $120 million budget deficit. This shortfall is projected for fiscal year 2027. Mayor Todd Gloria's draft budget includes hundreds of employee layoffs. Cuts will affect library hours, recreation centers, and arts grants. Public safety and road repairs remain top priorities despite reductions.

The layoffs affect employees at 11 San Diego facilities, including its headquarters, but no plants will be closed, according to the WARN notice.

Another Diamond Club trip that wasted money. San Diego with Train playing,
Just the band could cost up to $750k and the people attending and their plus 1.
Waste.
A person must be picked each year and of course upper management gets to go.
Could have been spent otherwise.

Congrats to all who made it! Who’s excited??

Tdc isn't doing great but other like there's no way there going to layoff everyone in SD. Think the post is a scam or are they planning on sending everyone to a we work

Heard there is a major cut to the PMIC in SD. Is that true? Which teams?

I just wanted to take a moment to tell each and every one of you here that I'm really grateful for those who hustle and are working to keep Teradata as being the Trusted AI company. Our contributions keep us up with our competition and we continue to power massive data centers.

I genuinely mean it when I say I love each and every one of you who've put their hearts into this mission and I appreciate you for your work. My team the BCM group continues to keep our customers critical data synced up and this mission is super important to me. On this thanksgiving I hope you're all with your families, energized and ready to return to the beautiful San Diego office to keep crushing it!

Everyone else is in a hiring freeze but the engineering group in Rancho Bernardo is seriously picking up with more than 22+ open positions open. Everyone keeps dooming on this place but I only see growth

HP San Diego Closure, the end of an era (the era when HP put employees above stock price).

"The handling of the closure of HP’s San Diego office has been a mess. Some people have received move or exit packages and know their last day and others have received nothing. We are being told that it is with HR and only they know. The site is closing on Oct 31 so the final date is known but nothing else is. Anyone else seeing this? This is really disappointing how badly this is being handled."

Keep hearing possible manager surpluss. Anyone know anything? I had another manager say he heard it from a credible source, but unsure.

Dexcom, the San Diego-based maker of continuous glucose monitors for diabetes patients and prediabetics, announced Wednesday that it is laying off around 350 workers, or 3% of its global workforce. Most of these reductions, or 196 people, are in San Diego, and of those, 134 are in operations and manufacturing.

I worked from that office before Covid in the Housecalls department. Is the office still there or has it moved? Is Optum still offering Housecalls to its members? Are they still hiring people to make the Housecalls from the Las Vegas, Texas, and San Diego offices?

I’ve been at Teradata for 7 years now, and I still feel lucky to come into the Rancho Bernardo office. The gym here is awesome, the cafeteria is way better than most places I’ve worked, and the natural light in the building just makes the day feel lighter. The people are the real difference though—helpful, down-to-earth, and always willing to share what they know.

Yeah, there have been some tough cuts, but that’s true almost everywhere these days. What I really like is that Teradata seems to be steering in the right direction with Vantage—focused on innovation and positioning us for the long run. I can see the vision, and it makes me hopeful I’ll still be here another 20 years.

Lots more mfg being out sourced to start in Aug and then Engineering and development to go, some to move to San Diego and Costa Rica. VP's are way too greedy to worry about whats going on. This will be their downfall, trying to make an FDA and higher compliant component in Costa Rica. They tried outsourcing systems to China and failed miserably.

I highly doubt the SD employees are looking to leave.. they are too retarded to know that they work for a terrible company. The accounting department gets paid shit, and they have been with the company longer than any other department. They are possibly the laziest and stupidest people I have ever come across. The real estate department could never get another job like that in SD, so they are staying. I can see the SF employees leaving because there are tons of jobs and opportunities for them in SF. In SD, these people enjoy being abused.
