These RIF's will continue and I suspect one of the reason that they do not quell rumors of future layoffs is that they want folks to leave voluntarily. There is no hope for Q as it is facing the classic Peter Principle at EVERY SINGLE LEVEL. Many... — read more 

Good luck with that! https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/20/qualcomm-reportedly-approached-intel-about-takeover.html

Qualcomm, which makes chips for smartphones, said it will lay off 226 workers in San Diego later this year, according to a California WARN notice published this week. The layoffs, which were first reported by The San Diego Union-Tribune, will take... — read more 

Anyone willing to squeal who?

I have been dealing with a bullying situation at work for the past two years and would appreciate any insights or advice. I joined Qualcomm three years ago and have worked in the same department since then. The first year went relatively smoothly... — read more 

And according to corporate recruiters, chances are that this form of prejudice is more common than we realize. For the thousands of California tech workers who have been laid off, this could make the job application process feel even more cruel and... — read more 

Both have R&D teams. San Diego is more stable but has a higher chance to relocate. Santa Clara faces more layoffs but has more opportunities nearby. What advice would you give to fresh graduates if they can pick between the two?

Amazon mandated working in office 5 days a week starting Jan 2nd, Q to follow?

It's confirmed! He actually received another promotion! The fastest person to climb the ladder at Qualcomm. Are you stuck in the same position for 15 years? Ask Amon’s brother how to move fast up!

Qualcomm has shifted from being a stable career to an insecure job. These days, everybody is expecting to be laid off at some point. It's the new normal.

Qualcomm is partying in Bangalore to celebrate the 20th anniversary of BDC while laying off people in the US, pathetic!

Just a heads up that there is a Q team that ingests and analyzes these threads and comments. Refrain from getting to descriptive and use behind a vpn.

I haven’t yet been notified. I would actually prefer to be laid off, because I managed to find another job which, at least on paper, looks like an improvement over my job here. If I’m laid off, it’s a win-win. To those affected - I’m truly sorry... — read more 

Found this on the web. What a joke! Wonder how many of the people featured in this propaganda piece have been laid off... https://www.qualcomm.com/content/dam/qcomm-martech/dm-assets/documents/QCOM_CSR_work_life.pdf

Truly a sad day. Qualcomm, once the preeminent technology and engineering house, has been reduced to nothing more than a two-bit sweat shop. Its founders must be disheartened. Next stop, a M&A target. Bravo CA, bravo! I'm sure you'll come out... — read more

Even if I make it through the latest round, I don’t want to stay here anymore. After witnessing how this place treated its employees - good ones at that - I’ve completely lost the motivation to work hard for this company. These days, when I’m not... — read more 

Do we know how many were affected today and what the target number for this round is?

Seems like will continue next few days.

I wish to be at peace for a couple of weeks at least.

For those affected yesterday by this round of layoffs, when is your last day? Or what date have you heard is the last one for those in SD

Looks like those people that refuse to come into work a full day four times a week. I’ve also been affected. in one area of QCT over 360 people got the boot for cause and received zero dollars in severance these dummies thought they were too good to... — read more 

Too bad Q's battery life is longer than its employee life ! :-P

Get ready for big round if lay offs.

Assuming it is over now, still not sure if any big guy got really impacted from MST? Do we still have all VP/Sr Dir/Dir/ Princ and ofcourse all the sr staff

And notices may continue being sent out throughout the week? Can anyone shed a bit of light? What’s the scope, who is affected the most, how long will this drama continue? Is this way of conducting layoffs a tactic to make us even more miserable than... — read more 

Do people get promoted during the l-y off wave ?

Is there a count on how many impacted in MST?

How many feelings CA should leave and Akash should take over?

Anyone else notice this is the new normal? Once, doing great work at Qualcomm meant you'd get ahead. Now, it's all about celebrating mediocrity. The best employees are let go, while the bare minimum is rewarded. So, what's the point in going above... — read more 

5% Canada employees affected today Low performers at sr and staff titles mostly No high levels affected

Some employees were notified today. Did all teams already intimated the affected employees or is it going to be spread throughout the week? Hate this kind of instability in life.

Or will there be more coming throughout the week?

I hope the rumors of Q buying parts of Intel is false or just doesn't happen. I'd hate to see CA do another cannibalizing of a once great American company into Bangla-oblivion. What a one trick pony. He should be ashamed of himself.

Did your team started sending emails?

It is a ～2000 enginneers big team, is their cost cheaper than India?

Have been notified about the layoff officially or given a hint? What teams are seeing the biggest share?
