Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

Those who got laid off are being replaced by cheaper younger hungriier employees from a lower cost country: this is just business; anyone can be replaced

Those who got laid off are on payroll till 1st or 2nd week of December. This is what that post is referring to. It’s not about the new layoffs. Half the people here are stupid, hateful and far from reality

Heard from a Sr Director the next cut is almost exclusively at the Director and Sr Staff levels, and isn’t a money thing. The September layoff sent morale at all levels plummeting. Real talent was let go by bad management decisions, people who were really well liked and did their jobs well. It’s hard to see people like that jettisoned because it makes people wonder if anyone is safe unless they are related.

At Qualcomm, managers generally keep their friends from the same village during layoffs, in despite of performance ratings

The number is close to those who were laid off in September, but there will be notices given to people with poor performance reviews. I have heard rumors that managers were told their teams had to be ranked, top to bottom. This is a response to people saying only friends are safe and promoted. if a manager is keeping friends or relatives, either they better perform or the manager will get a bad review of failing to meet expectations

CA warn law requests employers to give impacted employees 60 day’s notice. Therefore SD employees who was affected by the Oct layoff last day will be in December.

Probable considering cost cutting due to decelerating future revenues ; laid off employees will be replaced by cheaper, younger workforce in low cost areas

this is verified and confirmed

Sh---y AI written article.. full of errors.. talking about the past layoffs.. move on.

Looking at the current lay offs and how badly it was executed i am not surprised.
