good news for qcom, or intel?
Did anyone see the token white guy at the 820 launch party tonight?
I looked but didn't see him.

Broadcom stock at 52 week high.

Is your team doing Agile? Seems like such a waste of time and overkill!
Our team has started the whole Agile thing. It's insane, standup meetings that take 45min to an hour, multiple meetings in a day, hot airbags that like to hear their own voice talking, and talking and talking. It's so much heavier than any other... — read more
I got my layoff notice yesterday, It was a bit surprising because I am on LTE team and I thought I was safe.
I got the same severance as others are saying, 3 weeks' pay and a 2 month notice.
So much for rest&vest
Got my notice in the mail today along with 2 of my coworkers. JK met with my lead instead of director since he was OOO (For whatever legit reason that is) I had so much that didn't vest yet and 3 weeks of base isn't any restitution for that. I was in... — read more
More blue collar job losses are due to robotics and automation than h1bs.
Maybe companies should paint robots brown so the haters can hate the machines and say, go back to the assembly line.
Imagination Tech Ups Layoff to 350 (20%)
Apple Revenue Down; BUs to be sold off except VR, MIPS, and one other.
Eventually QCT will be sold.
Just like CBS, just like the Handset group. When the margins no longer make sense, it will be sold. Maybe not today, not next month, or next year. But eventually. My other prediction is. Intel will eventually give up as well (again).
QCOM stock to hit 36 by June. Sell your QCOM today while you still can
Just look at the two year chart of this POS stock. The trend lines do not lie.

What a smart game 1=100*N
Lay off hundreds (N*100) to save several millions and then hire one single unqualified doughter of Chineses member of government and pay the same several millions to settle SEC charges as it violated anti-bribery
Qualcomm is like a tree full of monkeys...
Qualcomm is like a tree full of monkeys, all on different limbs at different levels. The monkeys on top look down and see a tree full of smiling faces. The monkeys on the bottom look up and see nothing but ass holes. Oh and Qualcomm Human Resources... — read more

Had the happy meeting where they walked me over my packet. Goddamn 3 weeks of salary... They didn't even announce this session of layoffs. I guess it will keep happening at random now on. When I told the dir "you only collect status and allocate... — read more
As I write more software that controls home and business automation, I am happy it displaces low skilled, ignorant
....Trump voters from their blue collar jobs. I get a nice day bonus the more money my clients can save on labor costs with automation. And the more pissed off and unemployed Trump voter there is, the happier I am. Of course low information trump... — read more
Corruption in HR: Qualcomm pays $7.5 million to settle SEC charges it violated anti-bribery laws by hiring unqualified relatives of Chinese ...
The most interesting part is the involvement of HR directors in the scandal. This was done by the same organization that advocates "ethics" and have authored the so-called "Qualcomm Way" booklets that are in the break rooms. What a corrupt company!... — read more
I got my notice last week and I know at-least 3 people who got their notices the week before.
Qualcomm is back to its shady tactics.
I got my notice as well today.
Termination date is in May and I'll get 3 weeks' pay. The fact that the management did not decide to announce this new wave of layoff is disgusting. I talked yo my HR specialist and was told that Qualcomm is only obligated to pay either 2 months of... — read more
Just incredible
After 3 straight 6 ratings I got the shove too. "We regret to inform you your job has been permanently eliminated..." and some more boilerplate bs. Glad to see HR department at work tho. Good going losers!
