When executives give IT dehydrated lemon rinds and still expect tasty cool lemonade, you get the current environment.

I don't blame IT for the poor performance of QC IT infrastructure, but they are the ones that are going to pay. PC's and servers are choked with crap protectware and spyware to try to stop IP from leaving with the employees (which it does anyway), and the first line of support is somebody reading of a script half a world away, and now forget about using your laptop for development without having to call for encryption unlock codes when sh1tlocker doesn't like a registry change, etc..., but that isn't IT's fault. It's executive level management that turned IT into useless bit cops instead of a service designed to enhance productivity.

But that refocus has made IT useless.

Man, how sweet were the old days when IT gave me an iso image so I could burn a disk and reimage my own workstations between projects. The machines today have four times the processing power and memory, but run half as fast.

It's not the Qualcomm Way to announce layoffs in all hands meeting; they prefer do it on the background.

IT All hands said nothing. No specifics.

BK :-(

So let's get this right, we think we may as well use '3rd world' labor since you don't think there has been enough investment in IT hardware for engineering?

Awesome logic - good luck with that, and careful what you wish for.....
