Satellite offices were made scapegoat while trying to minimize the impact in SD. For folks working in sites like NJ, MA, TX etc. pack your bags and move to SD if you could. There is no future in satellite sites. The only growth is in India while in... — read more 

It is disheartening to see a lot of people who loved working in Q affected by the layoffs. And a bunch of toxic people on this forum are still around. Q should acquire this site, find the IPs of people who hate Q (but still work there!) and get rid... — read more 

Yesterday's layoffs seems like a warning shot to push employees to start working harder. The numbers make no sense in light of decline in chip sales. What is Q management playing at ? Do they want to keep us constantly worried about our jobs ? Now... — read more 

It it done for now?? Or again in next quarter they will start!!!cause it seems a small scale one.

I know some people with just a few months here were laid off. I'm curious, did any of them receive severance?

Give us a preview of what we can expect here come morning.

We'll have a couple more sleepless nights as they wrap this up and then we can get back to business as usual. The anticipation was the worst part for me, to be honest. Just constantly having to worry about whether tomorrow is the day can't be healthy... — read more 

The number that's been circulating is close to 10k. Can it be true?

Why don’t we see LinkedIn posts from impacted employees? When Meta/Google/Microsoft had layoffs LinkedIn was filled with posts. I don’t see posts from May either.

How many were let go here ? I was laid off from here earlier this year, but heard that NJ was also affected today. Just feeling terrible.

You know things are bad if India was affected - and majorly, from what I'm reading. I'm not disparaging anybody, I'm just saying that if we are cutting people in the lowest-cost area, the CEO and those around him must be desperate. Usually, they cut... — read more 

Does anybody actually believe them? I know I don't. I'm doing my best to find a way out of Qualcomm. There's no future here.

I had the bad idea of watching the movie "The Intern" with Robert De Niro. Very depresing to see during a layoff.

This was as much a dud as the hurricane Hilary. Less than 4 percent in San Diego is the high estimate. Most impact were the offices in other cities, many sites fully closed.

If you search in Google for "Qualcomm" and limit the responses to news and the last 24 hours, there is no mention of layoffs. Not a single... — read more 

Were people hired just so they could be used as pawns in the layoff? A guy who joined our team five months ago is gone. I think it's unconscionable to hire somebody, have them leave another job, and then lay them off because (most likely) you need... — read more 

I doubt it since I can't remember a time when layoffs at Qualcomm only lasted one day, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I am one of the H1B visa holders who got impacted today in San Diego with 12 years at Qualcomm. What options do I have? I bought a house last year and have kids here in school. Please be respectful in your comments as I am very stressed right now and... — read more 

in california, it should be

I would lose a lot of sleep thinking the C suite and their VP brother were flying commercial.

AFAIK only 6 people were notified on the MST team. Does anybody have more info ?

...the good-bye lunches the manager(s) who threw you under the bus hold in your honor, calling it "A team-building event". At least the ones not hiding out in their offices. No shame whatsoever.

To all those who got impacted today, I am really sorry for you. It does effect mentally and it’s not 10% of people impacted, it’s 10% of families that got impacted. Please stay strong, take advantage of any resume building, interviewing or... — read more 

Must be willing to relo. SW org (known internally as Digital) has 200+ openings. Suggest you apply on line and reach out via Linkedin to former QCers who work there.

All Layoffs done in SD? How about other sites like India and Netherland? Any info folks?

What are you guys getting? 2N + years of service?

People were talking about a large layoff but very people in our group were impacted.

All layoffs for today should be done by 2 pm. There will be another round tomorrow and Friday. Friday's round should be fairly light.

Team composed of 20 FTEs and 2 consultants. Won't give further details.

With the current situation, do you think summer 23 interns will be given a full time offer back? Finishing MS in a month and have not heard anything

If #s are as high as ppl are saying, Action would spill to afternoon. Meeting notices show up 30min-2hrs before the notification meeting.

New engineer here, GSoC. Except for this site, I’m completely in the dark. Manager hasn’t said anything about layoffs at all, no mail from directors, team hasn’t said anything either. No idea if anyone is impacted in my team or not. If I don’t here... — read more 

Can confirm layoffs in EngIT in San Diego.

VP just notified us that our department layoffs is completed. G-b bless all impacted and so-called survivors. Who knows It won't you next time

If you are still looking for jobs: stay strong... I have been there. Felt like giving up on everything. I must've interviewed at 10+ companies in a span of 3 months. No interviews for the next month due to holiday season. I used to choke up when... — read more
