Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

Short-term focus & aggressive cost-cutting?

Does this sound familiar to Qualcomm shareholders:

Kraft-Heinz stock collapses - down 28% - as its short-term focus & aggressive cost-cutting are destroying its business. Stock down 62% in 2 yrs since its failed hostile takeover of Unilever in Feb 2017.

Almost word for word what is happening to Qualcomm. Just substitute NXP for Unilever. What is happening to Kraft-Heinz is PRECISELY what I posted would happen to Qualcomm on this board... “they will study the Qualcomm downfall in business school for years to come.”

In the words of Bill George, Harvard Business School Professor: “This illustrates the flaws in strategy of maximizing short-term value by excessive cost-cutting, instead of focusing on your customers & employees to create shared value & sustainable growth in shareholder value.”

More cost cutting to be announced soon. Lawsuits coming fast and furious.

There is a cultural problem at Q. Lack of reading comprehension is endemic. Lack of good writing is also very wide-spread. Hammering out 20 ill thought out and poorly worded emails appear more important than one, well reasoned and articulate message.

I receive emails daily that are muddled, semi-incoherent and frankly serve no purpose other than cluttering up mail boxes and confusing the recipients. These typically result in a flurry of follow up emails, "replied to all", seeking clarification, asking for further comments and so on. Such an inefficient, ineffective and wasteful use of engineering time.

-ikly That’s because your insufficiently powered brain ignores the larger message and only focuses on the fact that Broadcom matches the “hostile takeover” portion of the message. You are the future of Qualcomm and I weep. Your reading comprehension and ability to use cognitive reasoning are typical of those still left there.

Greed. Arrogance. Lack of focus. Lack of strategy.

But mainly irritating the entire industry to the point that most want nothing to do with Q.
