Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

Any opinions: CEO most absurd comment in all hands?

CEO said we are not in the business of selling diodes, we are a technology company - we make breakthrough technologies that no one else can...

Of course that's why QCOM stock is down more than ~35% in the last four years, and the so called "diode making" companies are up more than ~150% in the same time.

This makes me believe investors are really stupid investing money in his smart "technology" company which BTW guarantees to loose money (based on history) rather than investing in "diode" companies?

Maybe we should be selling diodes. A lot more profitable that whatever the sh-- it is we are doing.

Man, I remember when QC said it "wasn't just in the business of selling transistors." This statement is now deprecated to diodes. How far we have fallen.

@pqt is a companyman who should go fcuk himself. But very soon QCOM is going to run rounds of layoffs to filter out the decent people leaving behind clones of pqt. #WhyWait

I suggest OP to just turn away to work for a different company if Qualcomm’s vision doesn’t align with yours.
