Stock holder finally understood executive are over paid for regular duties

Can someone chime in. I see glassdoor and levelsfyi info but it seems off. I'd appreciate any input.

Thoughts? Comments? Where is this taking us?

It is 2009 all over again and cuts will be deep and jobs will not come backs. Products not selling, supply chain starting to shutdown due to coronavirus, and employees get holding the bag and RIFed. Execs will get bonuses for cutting jobs.

Have you heard anything about potential Qualcomm Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?

If QCOM treated us like that every year, they would be the best compa ny to work for! thank you qualcomm! but keep doing that! don't screw us again next year!

My manager just sent me my performance review as rating of 4. Can I get promotion with that rating? Do I need a 5 for promotion? Will the performance review also shown if you are promoted?
