When should be the next layoff ?
Give the current situation & how many should be let go ? Any from where & when & why ?
Fake patents premier
Whos got the most fakies ? 130,000 patents, 128,000 are challengeable fakies !! A big IP law firm could make quite the living out of 'for-fee-challenges' to Q-fakeo-patents.
QCOM likely to win lawsuit; Apple has nothing to provide for the future beyond newer phones
Trump again saves QCOM: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-tech/white-house-expects-to-take-action-on-5g-artificial-intelligence-soon-idUSKCN1PV2T5?il=0
No friends or allies
After years of greed and extortion, Q finds it has no friends (Aside from paid 'experts') in the FTC case. The industry is baying for blood and downfall...................Apple leading the charge but plenty of support behind... — read more
So tired of this
Companies all over are offering voluntary layoffs and voluntary early retirements. Any chance Qualcomm will jump on the bandwagon any time soon? I am positive I would not be the only one to accept without a second thought. I really want out of this... — read more
Ever wondered why companies post job that don't exist?

One nasty place now
Good times long gone. My director has spent the last 3 months engineering to push out a long timer. She was average, but ok performer. Pushing her out was just plain nasty and pointless.
I’m so excited!!!!!
Stock price is finally over $50 today! Thank you Jesus for saving Qualcomm by using nasdaq.
The only ones profiting from the Apple dispute are the fancy lawyers
As this drags on the more suffering is imminent for both companies. Qualcomm-chip sale revenues 20% down. Apple is recording lower sales and I wonder how their new relationship with Intel is going to turn out. It’s crazy how much both companies... — read more
Director / principal backing each other
Leaders are a leader for certain reason. They need to be humble and accommodating. In my group they harass everyone except my senior director . It’s my way or get out of the team says the principal. We will ensure you are screwed by the VP. U better... — read more

Shareholders, kick these mo--ns be for you go before this company becomes history before sears
SM's Whining About Trial Sounds Like a Guilty Child
I've heard this type of whining from past CEO's of companies that no longer exist.
repackaging others IP
Q is turning into a RadioShack. Outside of their oh so amazing modems, they basically buy cores/processors from ARM/synopsys etc and relabel them as 'snapdragon' or 'q-this' and 'q-that'. Or buy a company, relabel the products and then kill it. No... — read more

Qcom patents worth NOTHING
I am a IP guy, I understand and deal oatent applications better than anyone. To my knowledge, 65% of the qcom patents can be invalidated if questioned. These patents are good for patent portfolios, to build your resume, nothing else. In fact many... — read more

I enjoyed my time at Qualcomm.

Silence on datacenter servers ?
Why no news for investors ? Is 2019 the breakout year ?
SM you are a M0R0N!
However I was able to liquidate $1m in stock at 66/share How about some more fantasy stories to publicly manipulate stock price? I can get rich by just timing Steves’s lies to the press correctly.
Who moved Qualcomm’s cheese?
The story provides an analogy to change in our work and personal lives. It’s about 4 characters searching for Cheese in a Maze. Cheese represents the QTL licensing income, the Maze represents our complex world, and the 4 characters represent the 4... — read more
Qualcomm has perfect 20-20 vision: Chip sales down 20%, shipments down 20%, licensing down 20%
I found this funny: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/01/31/qualcomm_q1_2019_everything_down/ "This is fine, everything's fine, CEO assures analysts on call. Look, we made $1bn in profit!"
Hock Tan pls come in to buy at $42 when Q is at $20 this Oct
But be prepared for ... SM saying you have undervalued the company drastically. There will be 6K layoff so you can avoid one. We will all be asked to vote for pink colored slips. Q will pay $7m to T's non-profit to bring in a national treasure... — read more
Good results ! Crickets in the forum
The results are good. Stock is up. Crickets on this board. The bears / pigs are getting slaughtered. Wait for the FTC ruling. Once QUALCOMM comes on top the board will disintegrate. QCOM for the win. !!
Q promotion tactic number 1
Some managers and sr staff folks intentionally hide information and talk BS when you ask them why did you hide it... This is the secret to get promoted In this political company...
Problem the Q has is incompetent management at every level
Get rid of SM, his gangs and loser managers and everything will be fine.
Lay off unlikely to announce until March
I believe after FTC judgement. If against us then easily 25-30% lay off.
Not looking good
