Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

Being a US citizen at Q

Let's see

I walk in to the office. They call it diversity but it really isn't. All it feels like is Bombai or Shnaghai in there.

I get these looks of astonishment from Indians and Chinese just bc I'm white.

Come lunch there is this Chinese and Hindu chatter emanating from the break area that can be heard from miles away. And also the smell of curry that can be smelled from a mile away.

I go to a nearby Cafe, they serve curry and basmati rice everyday.

I get back from lunch for our team meeting. People in the room are speaking Chinese. I have to ask them to speak in English every time.

Being a citizen I'm being discriminated against in my country. Sigh

Right on. It's amazing but true. Qualcomm is a company with zero interest in honorable hiring practices or EOE. How is it this company has escaped EOE lawsuits?!!

Talk to upper management and see why they are outsourcing jobs.

Excuse me, but there're plenty of U.S citizens here who aren't white, so better curb your bigotry and focus your anger on the H1B abusers who are the ones taking our jobs.

Racism on the basis of ethnicity is definitely condemn worthy, but the victims of racism also need to understand that they cannot fuel racism further & we Indians have always stoke that fire of racism in US corporates, by our sectarian behavior

I'm just glad Qualcomm has rounded them all up in one place. When I left the Q, it was refreshing to find companies with true diversity and talent. Qualcomm hires the worst of the worst as they don't really need good engineers. They just integration people to repackage pieces and parts they've bought from other companies.

When the SOC business shuts down next year, a lot people will be going back to their home country. Not enough jobs in the valley to absorb the layoffs.

I worked at Qualcomm 20+ years until I retired last year. From the day I started there were people who communicate more quickly with each other in a language other than English. People I worked closely with would regularly communicate in Hebrew. Often in customer and partner meetings, our customers and partners would speak their native language between themselves as well. In time, the languages spoken at Qualcomm diversified. What is the big deal? Any time we all need to communicate, the language defaults to English, which made my life easier. I never had to learn any other language.

Why don't you move back to the redneck states? You'll see plenty of white faces, and you can all eat hamburgers, drink beer and have sex with your cousins.

It's mother tongue, please try to understand folks from other countries.

If you went to China with your white friends, will you speak Mandarin Chinese to each other? No way, right? It sounds pretty weird. Why can't people speak their mother tongue in the U.S.?

You might considering having your lunch at Building N/Building S cafe, you will see tons of white execs and HR ladies.

Anti-white racism; Q wants more of it by replacing Americans with Indians/Asians and calling it in the name of "diversity"
