Anyone else notice this is the new normal? Once, doing great work at Qualcomm meant you'd get ahead. Now, it's all about celebrating mediocrity. The best employees are let go, while the bare minimum is rewarded. So, what's the point in going above and beyond anymore?

Bet all groups in q is corrupting, not only pmic and gsoc, go to a meeting in gsoc with new vp pl pess there, you will see how unprofessional and ridiculous this place is, obviously bias to all the ppl he likes, sd, wpw, ks, so on so forth.
Top executives are ordered by Wall Street to cut costs, at the risk of losing their high compensated jobs; so they bring over as many Indians as possible to help transitioning outsourcing jobs to India to save money to investors: it’s not just Q , it’s business across industries
Q is on its way to have the same path as Intel
Q is South Indian and mid eat, going the same road as Intel. Non south Indian will let go finally and finally it will go same way as Intel, markets are shared by others, bad products and bad ppl.

I never understood this concept of 'socializing with the boss or team'. I think employees should have a choice whether they would like to or decline to socializing with coworkers beyond what the work demands.
Dear @dzl+1usOenu4
Of course you know that it is not good to drop your masks here! But one thing is I used to be in some remote vestige of Q that, I thought sometimes, the Q management in SD didnt even know existed before the layoff!
A company with amazing products but such a decadence of work culture. Back in 2007, We had at least 15% or more racial diversity (meaning, 15% non-South Indians). Over the last few rounds of layoffs, each non-Indian was carefully handpicked and let go. Now this group in WA-WB is close to 99% South Indians, there are political power struggles to climb the hierarchical corporate ladder. Those who don't socialize with the top management but just do their work are easy targets.
That is the sign of corruption. Can’t hold talent ppl, internal bad ppl all bounded. Although it is painful, those long time bounded needs to go. With q for a short time, glad to leave, sometime thinking of ppl there still disgusted, too many biting dogs and dancing fat pigs all over the places. Everyone who been there for long is playing too ugly to see

You are very true. Qualcomm is no longer innovative company. It is more like political institution. Qualcomm Hyderabad is dominated by local clan and support their clan. You will notice same at SD. Those clan head feel insecure to have outsiders even though they’re intelligent.
The culture is, those who don't know any better (usually the new guy) give their best, working long hours with passion and intensity, then someone else takes the credit, then a completely incompetent, ignorant boss believes the power grab and promotes the wrong guy, the thief. I've even seen firsthand VPs joke about this scenario, so it's not like they don't know. Thee is so much blatant mismanagement going on, it's sad and sickening. Coworkers and managers without ethics or morals.

I was let go too in the 2023 LR. I was at the top of my career at that point. Had always given my all and solved complex bugs all along. Yes, I didn't have as many coffees with the boss as some of them did, them the survivors ;)
I see your point, but I say the point is self respect. Speaking as someone who was let go, I still say you should give it your best. You won't be able to feel good about yourself otherwise.
I noticed it. Now am I no longer with Qualcomm. The company is plagued by mediocrity, nepotism, kissassculturism and so on. I am Indian but I hate to say that Indians in Qualcomm SD or Qualcomm Hyd are the torchbearers of this decadence of work culture at Qualcomm. (Apple has also received a dose of this plague already and now the contagion is spreading at numbing speed, there too!)
