Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

"Workers" (Inspired by Lorde's "Royals" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlcIKh6sBtc)

I’ve lost my job to people from Bangladesh…

Q cut my salary and chopped some heads… JANA thinks it’s groovy…

And I’m not proud of my project….

In the torn up building… no QCT envy.

But even though…we keep losing…our tier 1 accounts…

Stock price down…near a 52 week low….

Steve don’t care. He’s cashing RSUs in his dreams.

But everybody’s like when’s the layoff…

PIPs and pinkslips,…more expensive healthplans… 401k’s with small fees....

The Board don’t care. They’re cashing RSU’s in their dreams......

And we’ll never be well off…well off....

Our jobs in the U.S. are done....

That job was sure didn’t stay with us, we’re better off getting an H1-B for fun....

And we have to go work abroad….abroad…

For a quarter of our previous salary….

And baby, Tata will rule, they’ll rule, they’ll rule....

And you can be their H1-B worker bitch bee….

My friends, JANA has cracked the code…

We need to do more buybacks…and split the company…

And everyone who knows us knows....

We’re fine with this, since we have money…

Well just do…one more buyback.. sell even more bonds…watch the stock go up..but only momentarily….

We don’t care. As long as JANA’s selling stock in their dreams.

But when the big shit…. hits the big fan…Our numbers still suck. The Samsung S7 still not with us…

We won’t care. Because an 80ies stock price will be in our dreams.

Because we’ll all be laidoff…laidoff…

The jobs in QCT will be done....

That job was sure didn’t stay with us, we’re better off getting an H1-B for fun.

And we have to go work abroad….abroad…

For a quarter of our previous salary….

And baby, Xiaomi will rule, they’ll rule, they’ll rule….

And you can be their H1-B worker bitch bee….

Because we’ll all be laidoff…laidoff…

The jobs in QCT will be done....

That job was sure didn’t stay with us, we’re better off getting an H1-B for fun....

And we have to go work abroad….abroad…

For a quarter of our previous salary….

And baby, MediaTek will rule, they’ll rule, they’ll rule....

And you can be their H1-B worker bitch bee….

...it's like you have the main singer (coder) and a bunch if aspiring coverband singers paid squat doing the real heavy lifting ...

Dude. I do what every company does. I pay some guy $8/week in Bangalore to write the lyrics. And then I spend maybe 1hr fixing everything wrong with it. Kind of how I do my code now. Privilege of "working at home"... You never know who does the real work.

Dude....did you ever think that you lost your job because you write songs instead of hacking code like a good indentured servant ? Good luck with your new career !! :-)
