Anybody know what's the cap on severance, how many week is maximum? And does it vary between departments? I've seen somebody mention that an employee was awarded 52 weeks in the 2015 layoff, but from what I can remember a coworker who was laid off at... — read more 

Anybody else feels like we are pulling a Broadcom on NXP? I'm not complaining, just find it funny how we were bemoaning how Broadcom doesn't know when to quit, and look at us now... — read more 

Never been thro this before and don't want to make rookie mistakes in front of seasond HR folks. Only serious response please.

I heard health insurance will be changed as well. We will need to pay the premium.

I hope PJ takes the Q private. The Jacobs has always treated the employees and their families well. I love the Jacobs!

Please confirm and Enjoy the coming week.

I've heard that QCOM is going to take away everyone's vacation days. That's just wrong. Only 10% of companies have that policy. Once a company that everyone wanted to work for because of the great benefits. What a shame.

no fixed salary, only performance based compensation layoff relatives to set the example and boost moral

This board is no longer a place for Qualcomm employees to trade intel or vent frustrations. Since Broadcom can’t buy us, they have now infiltrated this site with their bigotry and racist hate spew. I am more relieved everyday we didn’t end up having... — read more 

I prepaid my trunk lunches for the year to save some $$. Do you think I can get my money back if I'm affected? The tacos and 'soup' every day is getting old also.

First time in this website. Here is my impression: Bunch of lazy people spending time here rather than doing something productive. If you are worried about layoff, please find alternative revenue stream. At least work on it. Some old Qualcomm-ers... — read more 

And you should too. Nothing anyone has said in this has ever been true

and at least Hock Tan had a plan , a vision, an escape route for a company who is failing miserably.More than Qualcomm can say it has. Is it executing on anything productive ?

political influence by people who are selfish and self serving .

Anybody else really regretting the fact that the Broadcom acquisition didn't go through more and more or is it just me? As far as I can see, now that that deal is off, Qualcomm situation has only managed to become much more uncertain on daily bases... — read more

This thread states that notifications will start tomorrow (Apr 16) https://www.thelayoff.com/t/SG9hHjs Is this even true?

Qualcomm to feed their own egos.

If that doent make you mad it should . The state of the company under his leadership does not match his compensation. He has crippled the company.

Layoffs are often decided by banks who bring their number cruncher analyst (computer simulator user) to decide who stays and who goes . How many people go etc . In reality they don’t care if you are male , female , US born or not — these items are... — read more 

Del Mar race track next week?

is a total fabrication to say there is a shortage of American engineers available and so we need to hire foreign ones.

of engineering only to turn around and hire offshore foreign engineers. So much for taking care of your own first.

Dont think NXP deal will get approved. Sell your stock.

if you're related to CEO or president you won't be fired! nepotism first, company second!

Staff and Senior staff will be most impacted. Senior Engg. and Engg. are safe until someone hates you. Directors will notify as they please. 60 day period is not for everyone. If you have work left you will get 60 days to transfer the projects, if... — read more 

A lot of people here are saying that PJ's move was simply a stunt to bring up the stock price. Well, if that was the case, it failed spectacularly. The price was bumped up slightly before it started sliding back down just a few hours later. Some... — read more
