I worked at qcom for 10 years before joining Apple. Qcom is one of the horrible company to work. Although company pay good salary bonuses RSUs, many people are lazy, directors to principal level involved in corruption and mismanagement. Upper... — read more 

Everybody knows QC got a lot of deadweight. Take any team, in average 5% know their sh-t, 20% got some bits and pieces and 80% are proficient users of MS Office. So if you have a team of 100, you've got just 5 + 20/2 = 15 ppl who can do stuff. Now... — read more 

WSJ so far reported every large layoff in advance.

Manager told the team some non-engineering positions got axed. The last day is end of May. Org is Auto BU, and region is US. Not sure if this is a part of rumored layoff. To keep myself anonymous, I can’t provide more information.

I joined the PMIC team in San Diego less than couple years ago as I though it would be a good fit for my background. Things started to change quickly after the initial honey moon period. Hard work and knowledge don't count and seem to pose a threat... — read more 

I am currently considering my options. I would prefer to volunteer to be laid off, but I am afraid of negative repercussions, how to approach it in general and whether this is a good time to tell manager about it. Any advice?

Folks/current employees. Pls check the insider trading and the millions of dollars awarded to the useless executives and directors. *CA just gifted 172,015 shares ($20M). I guess he wants to sell but he does not want the bad publicity that comes with... — read more 

When Q was in growth mode: there were no H1B employees Bagels were free on Friday lunches were free people could become millionaire off of stock options Nokia was the biggest mobile phone maker in the world iPhone didn’t exist ... — read more 

We never had Pgrm Mgrs at Q in the past. Who the heck needs these id--ts collecting status? Isn't that what real mangers are suppose to do, run their projects? Get rid of these clowns.

I'm no longer worried about layoffs. I'll be perfectly fine with severance money and my savings for a year at least even without a new job (not that I won't be looking) so I'm at the point where I simply don't care. I am just tired and I'd like to... — read more 

What's your situation? RIP the date! or, RIF to you!

In May and then in July. It will be substantial, since CA mentioned on earnings call we would save 5% of opex. He said we already have achieved the first 3 percent of that savings, the last 2 percent will be with headcount reductions. Yearly opex... — read more 

Perhaps a big layoff may be coming? Many companies are starting to layoff to meet Fed demand of high unemployment in order to control inflation.

The best way to stay employed is to sc--w up the project just enough to get through the layoff period. If you finish the project early or on time. You will get layoff first. If you sc--w up the project, you have 50/50 chance of survival. Why? ... — read more 

I was very happy when I got the job here and I thought I would become even more valued as I became a better, more productive employee. However, I very quickly realized that some other things are valued here more. So when did the most capable and... — read more 

The AI would do a much better job in all areas including strategy.

They are not interested in their jobs, they are doing unethical things like showing homes and filling real estate forms during day time. Their managers are aware of it, they get some commission. Those managers should be laid off too. Highly toxic... — read more 

We are doing well! Only volunteers are being let go. Work hard, make Q more profitable. Actually, we need 10% layoffs mostly they belongs to junk category.

I have heard directly from SVP that Q intends to stop hiring and eventually replace 40% of software engineering with AI. Yep it's going to happen rapidly. Thanks JT and SS

Only status collectors and managers are valuable at Qualcomm. If you are solving the problems and you think you are smart, you are a loser. If you solve the problem too early, status collectors does not have anything to report to their VPs. If you... — read more

That the products... Well done senior leadership. A reputation taylor made. It looks good on u.

Q should sign Dylan Mulvaney to promote Snapdragon, we could be known as the inclusive power behind smartphones. Come on CA where is your marketing team?

Are layoffs going to be worldwide or just in US? It should be worldwide. Anyone any news.

So have people started planning for what you will do in summer if you get laid off? I will start: I will drive around the whole country for 2 months. And listen to MIT classes while I drive and while I am staying at hotels. I will also explore... — read more 

No layoff happened todays Turned out all rumors

This is really peculiar. What's your take on tihs?

It's quite surprising that so many people here have a side gig. I'm so overwhelmed with work here, I couldn't possibly handle any more work. Will it be that then the distribution of work here is not very good?

I saw many employees filling-up real estate related forms in the office and taking their clients to show homes during office hours. Employees should be professional, they should love their jobs and committed to work 100% for the employer. These... — read more 

Google to layoff more people. I think qcom needed a big haircut, squeeze to a small highly profitable company. Too many directors, too many principal and staff engineers, too munch of politics, corruption, non performance issue. It is time to clean... — read more 

The ONLY think helping this year's results is Apple (Maverick) not having their modem act together. That changes next year as we know. The jelly beans from automotive and the vapor revenue from Nuvia will be a joke. Qualcomm, you better start... — read more 

My manager is acting like there won't be any layoffs at all. Not only does this not instill any security, it even increases anxiety. On the other hand, I hear that some have been given clues by their managers that they should look for a new job... — read more 

Stock kept crashing since the company announced that Apple is out in 2024. Fire the useless people we have especially at high titles and give more RSUs to the poor employees struggling in San Diego.

I am principal/mgr My direct sr director asked me to remove 3 reports in my roll up, need answer tomorrow. Layoffs imminent. I have 12 roll uped to me. QCT. Will not name which team.

Forget the layoffs. In the medium term, AI will replace most of you entry and mid-level engineers.

The SVCK is coming! Be PREPared! You have been WARNed!
