Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

Why you shouldn't want an acquisition

So seems like a lot of you want Google to acquire the company. However you need to understand some things:

1) Only thing actually worth money is the IP of the company.

2) qc is over bloated. At least half the employees don't contribute anything. Engineer to CEO reporting chain is probably the longest in the industry, indicative of a managerial/administrative bubble. In case of an acquisiton less than 30% of the employees of the acquired businesses would be retained most likely.

3) There are quite a bit software teams, likely none of them would be retained full-time as google has top of the line software engineers to throw at those problems.

4) Most of the positions retained would be relocated to the bay area

5) Many of the businesses would be instantly shut down. I really wonder which ones if any would be of use to google.

Long story short, you'd likely end up being laid off or contracted for some term, or in some temp employment arrangement in case of such an acquisiton.

So stop with the conspiracy theories, speculations and get back to work. Make qc great again!

QC IP is sh-t if OEMs don't use QC chipsets.

All hardware companies on this planet know that QC is a patent troll, and they are creating their own patents and using their own/QC competitor's equivalent technologies if they can to by-pass the QC tax.

Wow. Now QC legal seems to have time to post crap on this site. You guys will be out the door as soon as Google gets rid of the executive and management bloat.
