Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

Scared as f***, haven't written a single line of code in last 7 years. Got rejected from Facebook, Google and Apple.

I make about ~300k per year including salary, cash bonus and RSUs. I have around 700k in unvested RSUs. I don't want to move out of SD because I paid off my mortgage recently. How do I save my job?

I totally believe in part where this idiot VP was not being able to qualify for Sr engineer job. His courage to attempt this reality check is commendable..

Glad I'm just a lowly engineer pulling in $200k/year while my rental income pulls in another $100k/or so....I guess if I do ever get riffed, I still got income coming in elsewhere.

I would say stick around and suck it up, $300k/yr is very decent money for idiot like you. Don't spend it all on hookers and start saving some of it, if you get kicked out you will feel that getting minimum wage job is a great achievement, savings will come very handy in those moments....

You should consider yourself very lucky pulling in $300k/yr without knowing either politics or work.....and also managing VP title, what else you want?

300k is very less for VP...you are very underpaid.

You appear to a big idiot who does not know how this game is played....how you got to become VP?

I hear having your own cult can be quite profitable. Depending on the dogma, you may even be entitled to a new virgin every night!

You are not alone... there are many so called engineers who ruined themselves by entangling in qPolitics, they all are scared as f*** like you because they are useless outside Q shell...

Last time I looked which was 15 years ago, Qualcomm had 150 VPs. Now they must have almost 1K VPs.

Look, you are a commodity now. Expect to get a job as a senior engineer at another company when Qualcomm sends you packing. You'd better get a book on python programming and start typing in those examples REAL FAST ...

If you're a VP and haven't figured out how to plan for something like being laid off by now, then you're an idiot and deserve to be pink slipped.

@Anonymous116726 I am not kidding. Even as a VP I don't know much about what's coming.

@Anonymous116722 I was looking for a serious response.
