Republican proposal to get rid of estate tax on estates over $10.6 million does nothing for me. They only support the rich.

This has been confirmed. Sell your RSUs today. I'm just looking out for my fellow Qualcomm employees

. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . Congratulations. You just wasted 2 minutes of your precious time hating H1-B's instead of bettering your skills so you are more employable

The good ones that is. All you technically incompetent can kiss my ass. You still won't get hired. By anyone.

oh well.

to the rich... will all the disillusioned Trump supporters suddenly have a meltdown and their heads explode? Will it be like all those people counting on Obama for "hope and change" only to be royally disappointed and screwed?

Thank you Qualcomm for allowing me to immigrate here in the U.S. Now, I will return the favor and ensure more people like me can continue to build technology in the U.S. by encouraging more people with skills from overseas to come here too, since the... — read more

Happy New Year!

I looking forward for HR to dig in and find out you have not contribuited for 20+ years and on top of that you have no idea of any of the work you people does....people like this destroy companies.

Because I'm thankful I still have a job at Qualcomm even though I have an H1-B.

http://blogs.reuters.com/breakingviews/2015/12/23/global-smartphone-brands-face-mass-extinction/ Unfortunately, Qualcomm's #1 customer is these small cellphone makers. Coincidence? I think not.

treated fairly, our products are very competitive, our technology especially CPU is more advanced than anyone else's, San Diego abounds with tech opportunities, my job is secure, I am happy.

Is it possible to switch teams within Qualcomm right now? What would be the best way to go about doing it? Is there some kind of a hiring freeze in place right now? Can you be PIPed out as retaliation by your current team?

this sucks -- no more packages for volunteering to be laid off. tried it and HR refused it. oh well. two days i am gone on my own.

Posts earlier in the month mentioned 60-day notices in mid-Jan.

Working at a fast food joint would be a promotion if you egos would allow you.

Will lay you off. Any suggestions on how to go about if I think I deserve promo

If so, I hope you are doing OK and neither you, your car, or your house were swept up by a tornado. I thought CA earthquakes were bad..Peace.
