Early retirement package
What did Qualcomm offer for the early retirement package? Did they pay for the remaining years up to age 62?
effect of layoff on new hire grads?
will new grads be removed as well? Specifically people who were just hired as FTE from internship return offer
Do temps factor into RIF%?
Temps have already been advised if their contracts will be renewed. Will this count towards whatever % of total team that will be affected?
Apec lay-off ratio is roughly 20%, US ratio will not be lower than that
25% to 30% is reasonable.

Everything is moving to India
Qualcomm management doesn’t care about you as an employee. They want to move the whole operation to India and other departments to cheaper labor outside the US. Why do you think that HR doesn’t take any complaints about India work seriously. ... — read more

Is that a joke or a real thang? I know there are status meetings but is it that some people never work and just collect status?

Employees are not an expense, we're an investment
