Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

We got very lucky

I just read that Broadcom laid off nearly 6000 people from CA Technologies in the last few weeks, from what I understand just a few days after the acquisition became official.

Basically, we dodged a major bullet. I think by now there'd be less than fifty percent of Qualcomm workforce leftover had the sale been approved.

Agree with above, its only a matter of time. You didn't dodge a bullet by keeping an incompetent management team. Hoc would have done the right thing and whacked the execs. Financial engineering is right and the mastermind still has a clamshell.

@W8WL6Nj-1skj: so tired of hearing how great India and Indians are. If it’s so great, why are you in the US? You’re free to fly back to that glorious s*-hole at any time.

At least with the acquisition, worthless managers would have been laid off in proportion to the workers.

At Q, Octane would have been like a nuclear bomb; reducing staff by 50%; Q employees got very lucky.

If we got laid off by Broadcom, we will be laid off with 100% vesting atb $82.

Now You will get laid off with no vesting and stock below 50

Sorry but we did not "dodge a bullet".

We will be getting a different bullet from CA, GD and SM.
