....said no one ever. XD

Are we having layoffs in the coming week or not?

I was expecting a written offer but the HM said due to hiring freeze they could not extend the offer. Any idea when the freeze will be lifted?

100k to stay.

Its interesting that no one seem to be complaining about the 5 day RTO at Q. I dont know if its because Q has got everyone by their b*lls or people genuinely want to come back for 5 days a week. Is everyone ok coming back 5 days ? 3 days is... — read more

Quick question for folks across departments—curious about your current RTO setup. Our team has known for a while that starting in September, we’ll be required to be in the office for a full 8-hour stretch each day. As it gets closer, though, I’ve... — read more 

There are so many people here with big titles who barely lift a finger. They cover for each other and make it impossible to clean house. If they ever got out of the way, we could probably fix a lot of problems in no time.

Worked in intel in the early 2010s and I get to see the same thing here in QCOM now. Hiring friends of friends ; friends son. Not sharing information, misleading on purpose. As in intel , the people who did such practices made it out unscathed.

Only way for Q to be trillion dollar company

Makes sense. A hiring freeze is a sure sign. Any updates?

Nadella saved Microsoft and turned it into a 4T company.

Are we not getting a formal written email about this hiring freeze?. Are we waiting for the all hands?

Used to be so much "Apple will never succeed, Qualcomm forever ! ." Now, crickets.
