I am a 'new hire' by Qualcomm's standard as I only been with the company less than 5 years. The first 3 months were great as I was still wearing pink glasses. The pay was good, bonuses were generous and RSUs were going up in value. After about 4 months things became more interesting. My manager left and I was now reporting to a deranged, loudmouth, back-stabbing, clinically psychotic SR. DIRECTOR! -- 15 year QCOM veteran who got promoted probably because of affirmative action. Unfortunately, the learning opportunities were limited at best. Actually, I take it back. I discovered how a manager should NOT treat employees. I now know how to travel on weekends for business and not expect a word of gratitude for it. I now know how it feels to fly in economy class while your company colleagues from different QC departments are having grand time in business class. I now know that someone can take all of your contributions and position them as his/her own. I now know that I am no longer part of QC that is rotting from the inside while executive team feasting on their $95 million stock bonus but hard working people are being asked to hit the road.

#whywait? Just leave
Most People in some non-USA based Qxx site always fly in economy class even the distance is over 10 thousand miles. Maybe your boss or his ancester comes from labor-intensive country, and doesn't care anything except cost. American Dream will be eventually ruined by such culture not so superior and filled with some sort of tyranny. The fall of Roman Empire is going to repeat and not far...
If you are still there with these feelings of ill-treatment, it means two things: You don't have any skill set or you don't have any balls.
ahhh, welcome to the real world newbie. LOLOLOLOL. Did you really think the real world was all roses and rainbows kid? Did you parents raise you to think that all you had to do was be nice and you would reap the rewards. Well your parents did you a disservice by hiding reality for them. you can thank them for your post. had you been grounded in any sort of reality the above would have been expected. now get back to work young naive one and when you're a director you can do whatever the f*** you want. you need to earn it, it's not handed to you out of college.
You are in CE team ? If not, your description fits CE team too...
