Thinking back, the first sign was the creation of QTI and the lawyers forcing everyone to change their email addresses. From that point on, it was less about innovation and product and more about rent seeking and corporatism.

is this legal? My project is finished, next project is about to start and I want to make my termination date earlier. I try to submit a form to HR and HR told me that. Can I sue Qualcomm?

My termination date is next week, so I only need to return my laptop and badge, and meet HR? anyone got idea?

Vote " yes " if you think qcom will pay $2b, "no " otherwise

Might be just a rumor

Nothing new..... from top to bottom pretty bad engineers. From people from ITT tech to people who got fired from major companies. Reason why they still here? No body wants these guys LOL

Sanjay & Murthy will then destroy Q, sweet revenge will be theirs. Watch out SM & JT.

He said he gonna rehire me and I turn down that offer because I already find a better job which total compensation is almost double! Thank for AI Hype! And Thank you for this layoff Qualcomm!

Heard some folks in specific groups got a retention package, mainly a load of rsu. Guess the rest of us aren't important enough.

If China doesn't approve NXP deal by July 25, Qcom pays 2B$ fine. And you know how qcom recovers Billions of $$. Cost cutting... LAYOFF

I was one of the lucky ones to have survived the latest massive layoff here. Wondering what the future holds for us. Things looking kinda dicey. Hoping our saviors TR and VA have things lined up We being a satellite site doesn’t help either

drawing to a close; earning call scheduled for right about termination of NXP 7/25 ??? Interesting timing !! "We are moving forward with our NXP acquisition" -> "we bailed and paid $2b but its great again !"

These are people who could get jobs anywhere. Is this how Qualcomm is going to reach the 1 billion spending reduction?
