The so-called Qualcomm Code of Conduct was violated by the company by unethical managers mistreatment & smearing the reputations of good engineers to justify lay-offs to cover their backsides. I witnessed it first hand by one Qualcomm director in Boulder, CO. She was desperate to save her own job and desperately meet her reduction-in force head-count. I take solace knowing what comes around goes around and she and her idiot minion(s) will get their dues when Qualcomm closes the Boulder, CO site. They better do it before the ex-employees wise up and sue them for defamation.

When Qualcomm closes Boulder, CO office, the company will make sure it hires Indians H-1Bs somewhere else to make up for the difference. Q lawyers will make sure company is covered in the event of class action lawsuit; it's hard to win in court against a company who has billions in the bank: best lawyers money can buy.
If you don't sign the severance agreement and are a member of a protected class, you may have a shot. However, the lawyers usually make sure the numbers are balanced so no one group sticks out.
OP: Everyone in the industry knows the "rank and yank" method of determining who is RIF-ed is based primarily on internal politics and rarely measures ability. Especially when leads and directors are told to axe a certain number of positions if they expect to keep their jobs.
Qualcomm only hires "the best and the brightest." These workers only seem to be graduates from schools like the College of Northern New Jersey.
Sanders 2016. Let's break these evil corporations!
The beatings will continue until moral improves !!
Agreed 100%; Q should be prosecuted for their firing/hiring practice and abuse of H-1b program at the expense of US workers;
