All directors are out in this case. May be investors need to put their guys on the board to end this corruption
How you can still influence who stays on the board of directors

Have layoffs started or when will they start if not yet?
Serious responses only.
Should I sell?
I voted with my feet but I still have some stock (wouldn't buy this shxttastic stock in the retail market and neither should you). I think QCOM will slowly dip into the early 50s dodge a few more takeover attempts by buying politicians but eventually... — read more
Why are there so many 2 person team with one manager managing one engineer.
What the f*#k is it really?
Of course the cuts are still on!
The executive made an unambiguous promise to shareholders to deliver at least $6.75 EPS in 2019. Shareholders have already shown that they are willing to vote against management unless things improve. If QC doesn't deliver at least close to its... — read more
Do our executives have claw-back clauses in their contracts?
I mean, if they mess things up and such, can QC claw back some of the money paid to them?
Just got cut
Senior Staff Engineer, IPS team, 20 years with QC. :(
Layoff and hiring freeze
If the layoffs do happen for the purpose of cost cutting, does that mean the current hiring freeze will continue and they won't be hiring anytime soon? specially in non san diego locations.
More or fewer layoffs?
Just wondering, do people here think we would have had more layoffs had Broadcom managed to take over or if we'll have more layoffs now that we are again "safe" but in the same mess we were in before the whole takeover saga started? I personally... — read more

Not as bad as I thought
Frankly, looking at Qualcomm stock price right now, it's far from what I expected. The drop is significantly lower. It's lower than what some analysts predicted it would be as well. Five percent is more than bearable. For as long as it doesn't get... — read more
Chinese propaganda
China will never allow nxp deal. Qcom will lose all china market in result of retaliation. License and sales all fall together. Apple will jump on to m&a trial to pick only 5g part and dissolve all others to kill android eventually.
Sanjay will be the new CEO
Happy days are coming
New CEO to be appointed on March 23rd

Qualcomm to charge up to $16.25 in royalties for every 5G phone, more than Ericsson’s $5/phone
Came across this article. Is this price set ? What is the basis for this $$ ? https://www.fiercewireless.com/5g/qualcomm-to-charge-up-to-16-25-royalties-for-every-5g-phone-more-than-ericsson-s-5-phone if this is true, its huge definitely.
How's the mood?
Been pulling off a week and half long WFH. How's the mood around the place while I've been WFH? I haven't checked email in days, skiing has been great! #QworkLifeBalance
No more cost cutting?
It seems to me that cost cutting is no longer necessary now given the situation ? What would be the reason to lower cost?
Licensing
Who makes the money??? Licensing... The entire reason why our licensing is able to 'PRINT' money for us is because of governments around the world gave us monopolies (supported by IP laws and regulations). JANA, Broadcom and others know this very... — read more
QC, AVGO, Huawei, and Geopolitics...
For all of you eager to glorify Tan & Co. here is a blurb... Cuts in our long-term tech competitiveness and influence in standard setting would significantly impact our national security. This is in large part because a weakening of QC's position... — read more
Now SM and CA have more time to finish sinking QCOM
And they'll be paid millions for it!
Layoff started ?
The board is extremely quite ?
Only under-performers are happy about this
I see a lot of people happy about this. If you are in one of the few parts of Qualcomm that are actually profitable, you really shouldn't be happy right now. Broadcom would have been good for Qualcomm. Broadcom is known for cutting the... — read more
New Warn notice posted - no sight of Q in the notice
http://www.edd.ca.gov/jobs_and_training/Layoff_Services_WARN.htm Qualcomm hasn't notified anything yet.
Qualcomm promised $7.50 EPS next year.
Can this be trusted or just a magic number. If Magic number, how can I trust Qualcomm is not cooking gits financial books i.e when was a audit done last?
Looks like SM can keep his job
The board is safe, the executive team is safe. Broadcom is permanently gone!
Well Qualcomm, Now Deliver That Hyped Shareholder Value That Broadcom Undervalued
All eyes are watching. Executive Management and BoD you may still be voted out. If not this year, it will be next year. No more tolerance for under-performance. Perform or your out.
Good move - what's next ?
Now the purchase is blocked - what's the next move? Btw, shouldn't the same "national security" concerns applicable on years of geoshifting to India and China cheap labour cost ? Countless H1B situation on campus? Can (and will ) the president do... — read more
Still happy I got out
Starting my new job on first of April, and I am so happy. The whole Broadcom thing yanked me out of my comfort zone and I finally got off my a-- and looked for something new. I think a lot of teams bled out a lot of talent in the last couple of... — read more
Broadcom stock up, Qualcomm stock down
Investors know where to move their money now.
I know this is complicated...
But the problem isn't Broadcomm or any other outside threat. The problem is Qualcomm and its deteriorating business and profits. Therefore, it doesn't matter what outcome occurs with Broadcomm The issue is internal and whether Broadcomm has to clean... — read more

Can somebody give a predict? What is the future of this company after this drama?
