Why Wait?? To leave Qualcomm! a once great company became arrogant and fat. Kind of like Fat Bastard... Now??

I have heard Broadcom is much leaner. Also hear they layoff if your division is not profitable. Some duplication of jobs and layoff cannot be avoided. Do they they just lay off the lower half performers or is it a whole group at a time?

I believe qcom is already sold. Only detail is still discussed. Hope Monday we can get clear answer.

These f@ckers know the company is already sold to BCOM, prepare to leave. Many are asking for opportunities at Intel, Nvidia and Apple. Many many are looking to leave ASAP.

What happens to the ESPP purchases if I resign prior to 1/31 when ESPP is purchased? Are they going to pay back the monthly payments?

Moving on from bcom news, how have your numbers been?

As the saying goes, "pigs get slaughtered". Don't let the psychology of always wanting more lead you astray. Qualcomm will NEVER get back to $70 on their own.
