Why did Steve give a 2 month heads up about the layoffs?
Not a QC'er (retired from QC back when it was a great company with Christmas parties). I've been though lots of layoffs, about a 60/40 split of survived/slashed. I never in a 40 year career saw anyone say "yeah, in 2 months I'm gonna lay off 15% of... — read more

Those creative QCOM VPs!
From today's U-T, a "bark-out" success story from QCOM's Robotics division! For a mere $250 retail, you too may soon purchase a robotic device that "entertains" your dog--so your pet doesn't get lonely while you are working 80+ hr. weeks to make up... — read more
