Team composed of 20 FTEs and 2 consultants. Won't give further details.
Intern Rollovers
With the current situation, do you think summer 23 interns will be given a full time offer back? Finishing MS in a month and have not heard anything
Afternoon round??
If #s are as high as ppl are saying, Action would spill to afternoon. Meeting notices show up 30min-2hrs before the notification meeting.
When do we know if we’re safe? (SD)
New engineer here, GSoC. Except for this site, I’m completely in the dark. Manager hasn’t said anything about layoffs at all, no mail from directors, team hasn’t said anything either. No idea if anyone is impacted in my team or not. If I don’t here... — read more
EngIT impacted
Can confirm layoffs in EngIT in San Diego.
God bless all
VP just notified us that our department layoffs is completed. G-b bless all impacted and so-called survivors. Who knows It won't you next time
Stay Strong...
If you are still looking for jobs: stay strong... I have been there. Felt like giving up on everything. I must've interviewed at 10+ companies in a span of 3 months. No interviews for the next month due to holiday season. I used to choke up when... — read more
Got my GTFO notice after clearing my inbox
Can’t say I didn’t expect it since my former director would do anything to save his bestie. But I’m truly sad because I really like Qualcomm.
So I guess it was too much to expect some communication?
My Sr. Director said on Monday that the cuts would be communicated today. So far, I've heard nothing. So that means I'm safe? They're not doing it today? Who knows?
Is Qualcom the World Champ of Layoffs?
Honestly, we get hit so often, I am not aware of any other company that does layoffs this often. I've joined thre years ago and now it looks super unstable. Maybe I am overthinking this and it may turn out to be smaller than I think but that's my 2... — read more
Any layoffs in QCA?
Haven't heard much about folks getting canned in QCA?
I don't know anyone in our modem team that got layed off
Is it real? Maybe only selective groups?
Cuts
Will be slow, in 4 batches or more, not a single day. Think about it, It doesn't make sense and it is not QC style. Prepare and good luck this whole month.
Not sure if this helps but here it goes anyway...
Some previous posts covering layoffs we had in past, I've picked threads with high views/replies: It's happening - Got confirmation that layoffs are happening. July 25 by Anonymous | 8460 views | 32 reactions (+28/-4) | 29 replies (last 7 days... — read more
Layoff in SD was very minimal?
It was already noon time and all notices were sent. It looks like not many people reported layoff in San Diego but massive layoff happened in remote sites.
Unpopular opinion
Anybody else here wanted to be laid off but is not? This might sound insensitive to those who are let go today but I wish the timing of this was better and they had offered a voluntary severance package.
Are you a survivor?
Because I am gone ... not sure if staying or leaving is more sour. I guess will find out in coming months. Good luck to who stays and good luck to whom is gone!!
Today Oct 11 was not the D-day
Don’t fool yourselves. Today Oct 11 was not the D-day Nothing happened today except some trolls made fun of us. I have not heard any layoff from my friends and their teams. It is all lies are posted here
SD Legal Layoffs 10/11/2023
Layoffs in Legal happened this morning in San Diego.

Just post if you were Impacted. Share more info if you are comfortable. Yes I was impacted. And sorry for all. It will be ok in the end
Will an announcement be made?
When will the public know about the layoffs? Soon?
My team eliminated
Good luck people, no details on the package but whats in share point. I was told its 12,000 total will be notified this week. On to the next job…
How will we know it's over?
How will we know it's over? Any time estimates? The waiting is stressful.
ex-QCOM (retired voluntarily 2016) glad to be done with it
Let's face it, QCOM is a toxic tech company, particularly the management which is garbage and they keep recycling these people. Padovani as CTO was an exception. Not bitter, these are just the facts. I made a good chunk of $$$$ while I was there and... — read more
What's the future of Q, Spoke to QIPL engineers there is impact not sure yet in SD
Smartphone market is in slump,apple is not permanent, huawei is on rise any one working in adjacent markets CPU etc what's the status
How are people notified? Through email or random 1 on 1 meeting?
I have been freaking out about the sound of any email or team message notification all morning.
Magnitude of layoff?
Did CA give an indication of magnitude or otherwise officially announced? Is the rumored 5k correct? Publicly, Savy became president of QC India in Aug. Don't think his 1st big act would be a large layoff there (not to mention that the appointment... — read more
Nothing is happening
No email no call no 1on1. All the daily meetings are just going on as normal, is it really cancelled?
RSUs Vesting in November
Does anyone know if we get to keep the upcoming vesting RSUs if we are laid off today? What package are they offering?

It has started in the East coast
NJ office impacted big time. 100+ let go from 250 odd. One VP of small cell took a demotion to Sr. director to stay in his job. Its ugly.
Getting dressed for the day...
How odd! Can't seem to find my Qualcomm "Best Places to Work T-shirt" I was hoping to wear today.
Rise and Shine
People are starting to arrive at N. This should be over by noon, hopefully. Hang in there and good luck.
