I can't tell you an exact number yet because we are still waiting for another 6 bus loads to arrive.
My skills suck so bad, not even a defense company wants me!
But clearly, it's the H1-B's fault.
Hello. I'm a millenial. I work at the Q. Damn those H1-Bs stealing out jobs. But Obama is the man he'll fix everything.
Never mind the obamacare website was built by an outsourcing company based in Canada.. I'm liberal, I'm progressive. I'm anti-war. and chicks dig it!
Do you need to come to work in the two month period if you are laidoff?
Are you expected to come to work in the two month period if you are given your marching orders?
Whoa as me. I'm a Q engineer with US citizenship that is about to get laidoff...Whoa as me, working at a defense company is not good enough...
for me...I'm a victim.. those damn H1-B's are depressing everyone's wages, even wages in defense companies, despite them not hiring H1-Bs. What a bunch of self-entitled whiny bitches. Let's see how much you guys whine and be all picky/choosy once the... — read more
Bored with current role
I was wondering if there are other people out there who are bored with their current roles. I have been in the same role for 5 years now and I was actively looking around within Qualcomm. I almost interviewed for another team within QCT a few months... — read more
If there's so many qualified software/hardware engineers that are U.S. citizens that can't find a job because H1-Bs are the sole problem...then.
why do so many defense companies have so many positions in the U.S. to are left unfilled.
Hmmm. (a) Get laidoff from Q and spend most of my time whining about H1-B, or (b) spend my time and go find a job at a defense company.....
hmmm. really tough decision there....
If you're really a qualified software/hardware engineer and have US citizenship, why aren't you apply for a job at Northrop Grunman?
They'll sponsor your security clearance, and once you get it, you have a lifetime of employment opportunity with virtually no competition....Maybe because you aren't even qualified for those jobs too? Maybe the problem isn't H1-Bs? Maybe the problem... — read more
Damn, those H1-B's. They are are depressing salaries in software and hardware here in the U.S.
....That's just sucks. That's horrible what companies are doing. H1-Bs suck, they are depressing the job market....These are US companies and these are our companies and jobs. These companies should be patriotic!........Yo! I'm so pissed at Intuit... — read more
"I'm an H1-B complainer. I hate H1-B's more so than I hate illegals...."
But when it comes to illegals, I don't care.That's why I don't mind hiring Paco to do my plumbing or gardening, or Lupe to clean my house...Or as long as I can get my fruit at 39cents per pound by some migrant workers and migrant kids. As long as... — read more
It's funny more people are worked up more so about H1-Bs versus illegal aliens
While you are on H1-B, you have to pay taxes, you have to wait 5years to get your greencard. On the other hand, if you're an illegal alien, Obama wants to try to get you amnesty and permanent residence, despite being here illegally. And of course... — read more
The say people that complain about H1-B stealing "their" high tech/high pay tech jobs are most likely the same people complaining illegals....
...are stealing their jobs too...That's really interesting because, I never thought a pissed off person would be cross-job-searching between a high pay hardware/software engineer and a day labor/daycare/gardener job at the same time....
Qualcomm is a phony!

I think most of the H1-B whiners and most of the real estate renter whiners don't work at qualcomm...
They probably are visiting this board from the McDonalds blog posts here thinking that H1-B's stole their tech jobs and that's the reason why they can only work at jobs that say "you want fries with that?", despite having a Associate's degree in... — read more
I don't understand why everyone is shitting on H1-Bs. All of you QCT qualcomm workers (H1-B or US citizen) are going to get axed eventually....
...once qualcomm decides to move the entire dept overseas, so it can compete on cost against the other players....
It's a race to the bottom. Who can lose money faster selling modem chips and app processors...
MediaTek's quarterly earnings look like crap... So glad I'm no longer part of the chip business mess. http://blogs.barrons.com/asiastocks/2015/08/02/wrestling-with-qualcomm-is-expensive-mediateks-profit-tanks
Hey, it's the first week of August....While some of you folks wait patiently for home prices in San Diego to crater, just a friendly reminder...
RENT DUE!.... Bwhahahahahaahahhaah.,
If you folks want to be immune from H1-B outsourcing, get a security clearance and work for a defense company.
Then you are safe...Though you'll be working on killing machines, but hey....At least it can't be easily outsourced.
I just came back from Qualcomm stadium
Running my Porsche was a lot of fun down there.
Indians are generally nice people until they get a taste of power when becoming director or manager.
If you own a house in Carmel Valley aka the Qualcomm Ghetto, SELL NOW.
Cuts will effect Carmel Valley the most. Followed by Encinitas and Carlsbad, and east of 5. Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Santa Luz, La Jolla, not too much.
To the tune "Dance Me To The End Of Love" by Leonard Cohen...
"Bada, bada bada bada, ... Dance me to the end... Of Qualcomm..."
