Here's to the future of all those who worked at the Raleigh site, wishing you the very best. I was a transplant but quickly realized how refreshing it was to work with this team! To the rest of Qdt and those staying behind, it has been a great experience and good luck in your adventures.
Best team ever. Really stupid move on the part of SM & execs, but what's done is done. Volunteered, got package, ready to move on. May those who remain knock it out of the park. We will be waiting for you.
The nature of this thread is indicative of the team in general. Such a great group of people who achieved so much. I am proud to have been a part of it.
Best luck to everyone at QDT, really enjoyed working with you guys. Don't be too stressed out, I am sure everyone will land a better job soon.
Good luck everyone. Goodby QDT. Best team ever worked with.
This is the best team I have ever seen. Best luck, everyone!
the most civil thread in thelayoff.com history, good on all of you.
How many got the GTFO package?
@mqz you're welcome!
It's really hard seeing the team breaking.
QDT Raleigh was an awesome team and people with open heart in sharing knowledge .
I feel privileged working with some of you (specially one person) which I will cherish for my entire life.
You all Take care of you and your family.
I got my notice for a few months down road as last date of termination. If I end up finding a job before then does anyone know if I'll still get severance?
Got my notice (I volunteered). Last day at work 6/26.
Best of luck to everyone. A sad day indeed but wow, what a great run we had.
Make QDT Great Again!!!!!!
50% cut.
QDT Strong!
What happens to QDT and Raleigh folks today ? Best wishes in any case.
Are these the ‘Server’ people ?
Ok that’s 3 things.. by one thing we can control, I mean how we choose to react. It could be easy to go down the spiral and self destruct, but for the sake of yourself and your family, stay strong, positive and constructive and everything will be OK.
You have plenty to be proud of. Hold your head high. You achieved something that few expected!
QDT is a great bunch of people! I am hoping all goes well for them and I always have their back and will always help in anyway I can. They know who will help and who cares in the end!
We don’t know what lays in store for us today, but whatever happens we will be OK. There are pros and cons to either outcome, so try and see the positive in the path that lays ahead at the end of the day. Most important of all, stay strong for your family. Qualcomm has taken a lot from us, but I refuse to let them take my mental and physical health and family stabillity. That’s the one thing we do have control over right now. Stay strong and god speed.
