US based. Received email notification about meeting with the upper up today this morning. On Teams it appears only between me and this upper up. I've been mentally prepared for this during the past weekend(s). However when I was arriving to the room, there were so many other people from my team both online and offline. Apparently we are safe, and 1 person is impacted from our team. The upper up shared that he/she knows other team in different region (country) that we're working closely with got more severely impacted (5-10 people). Another smaller team that I'm working closely with wasn't impacted (all safe). We get to breathe now at least and is assured the round is over, until who knows when next year.

@aq I find the "performance based" narrative to be utterly disrespectful. I still had good feelings about Qualcomm after I was let go 3+ years ago, but this new line is putting a bad taste in my mouth. I really feel sorry for all you folks.
@ap I'm pretty sure that the person who always chimes in with "fake" (not just your post) is simply talking sh-t to mess with people. This person has nothing better to do, apparently.
Yeah. Agreed. Heard some hard working fellow got impacted. Feel truly sorry for them. Hope they can find better jobs
From what I heard from my other coworker here is that those who get impacted will still get pay until the end of the year, not including the severance package. Even though they label it as 'performance based' layoff, I don't truly believe that's the case based on data from our team. The impacted person works hard, is in no way 'underperforming' and basically took the hit for us. Will keep things ambiguous up for your imagination.
@ag How would I know/dare to ask the person who was impacted? Also I'm just astounded by others thinking this is fake post. I'm sharing because I've been having restless days too the past weeks. I've heard from my friend too in different branch that some folks from his office got cut off today as well, though I haven't asked and clarified if that was from his team/not.
What was the package?
Nope
Fake
