Hiring and firing (or laying off, to be more precise) are just part of the game. Think of it like a conveyor belt - new, lower-cost employees come in on one end, and on the other, experienced, higher-cost folks are moved out. That's just how things are and will always be.

A brand new building in Ireland, India, go with it, so boring stuck in one office looking at the same face. We know that a team cannot grow beyond the level of their leader, and companies can never be better than their employees, Q academy love to train interns and new grads, and LIFO experienced. when Q=>A happens, A no longer need Q, sad. https://medium.com/@careerclarity/why-amazing-companies-cant-keep-good-employees-fc6bea193bd9
Outsource jobs to Asia and east Europe. Q opened a brand new building in Asia recently.
Due to these jobs in Asia, they hire employees from the country or race locally here in USA. Look at hardware, most of the hardware is manufactured in China or Taiwan. They hire employees who know that language or from the same area. All jobs are gone and local skills will suffer.
Broadcom is eating away Qualcomm’s lunch and taken over a lot of market and they are also strong in other areas.
Apple is the only one keeping most of the hardware development and software development local, easy to work and productive. That is why they are at the top with good management and planning.
Capitalism is socialism for the Rich and nothing for the bottom half. That’s the story of life.
Who will hire them? They are nuts outside.
@jel Q is chip solutions engineering company - not a leetcode company. Current crop of 55+ may turn Q into Intel, but will take a while and the best shot we have. Mugging up some leetcode problems doesn't cut it.
Qualcomm's management VP and above has an average age much higher than growing, successful tech companies. For gods sake man up and retire, let younger sharper talent move the company forward. Don't worry you 55+ vp's you have enough money, go enjoy your life. Don't turn Qcom into Intel.
not buying your sermons, HR!!
It's not same old game, now there is India! Most jobs will eventually go there...
