Too many people are negative here, but overall I think the economy is tanking. I'm throwing in my chips not because I don't trust in the Q, but I think it's about time we had another recession. May as well cash out now, and hang out in Cabo while the... — read more

Do not sign the The waiver for the severance package if you intend to sue.
Listen up guys do not the severance bribe if you intend to due. You're much better off suffering in the short term rather than settling for the pathetic severance package that they're going to offer you. I made a big mistake by signing for a measly... — read more

Russia & The West's historical and never ending follies in the middle east, or QC & MTK's battle in the Far East? Can you somehow blame Putin and Assad for missed earnings? Is that the new CNBC talking point your CEO got from Obama?

So, QCOM is now inside Blackberry's first Android phone....
Too bad the only people I've seen using Blackberry phones recently were homeless. If that's the market share I'm expected to bust my ass for 80 hrs. per week to keep, it's time to cash out the stock and open a beer pub!

Expect housing market collapse very soon
San Diego announced lay off increased 45% in September, what it tells you?
Housing market will collapse in few months.
What a miserable bunch of people in this section.
It's actually kind of funny. It seems like not only are there a select few miserable Q ex-employees here, but A LOT of lurkers (not Q employees) that seem to be equally, if not more, miserable.
Let them eat cake!
Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf had a busy week last week. On Sept. 23, he was with top tech CEOs at a U.S.-China Internet industry forum in Seattle, where China’s President Xi Jinping briefly joined them. Two days later, Mollenkopf and his wife... — read more
QC employees’ faith:

I accepted an offer from QC, but after reading all the comments, I don't want to continue with QC. Is there any legal bindings ? No trolling.
I mean how to cancel the offer from QC after accepting the offer. Thank you.

Economy following the same trend as 2006-07. Housing market bubble burst soon in few months, Qualcomm will reduce workforce by 70% by May 16. SD housing market collapse by 50%
Looks like Jason Bremner is now VP at Google
SVP @ QC = VP @ Google, not so bad
If rampant cronyism and nepotism is known about by HR and higher ups (which it is) and not punished, this is the same as promoting it.
None of the cronies were let go, even the absolutely worthless ones. I would have thought they would be the first to go.
Confirmed 0 H1B employees given layoff notice.
I've attended 3 workshops for resumé writing, entrepreneural skills and general overview. Not a single person is an H1B. Some of these classes have 50+ people. This is sad and unfair.
