Hearing big announcements will be made tomorrow. Lot of hush hush meetings today. Something to mollify shareholders before the Friday meting ?.

SM busy looking for new job, that is why we have not heard from him for a while

Geez - QCOM stock is nosediving again! In general QCOM has averaged to the low side of flat. I should have dummed that stock years ago.

CA will be interim-CEO for now, but is expected to become full-time CEO in a few months with BoD's confirmation.

Has there been any information about this besides speculation?

Amazing! He did these people Make t the top anyway???

Looks like the news moved away from qcom to the facebook now. Lets see how ceo handle things there. Should there be something our management to learn from.

Guys, this isn’t fake. Lots of groups received this email today. They want volunteers to notify their management by March 26 if interested. Thereafter the actual layoff begins mid April. May 21st seems to be the date by which people would leave... — read more

Its been a while we got an update from qualcomm.

He does not have any vision. He is always late on his vision and just follows the market. Qcom should have done RFFE 3 years before it started and same on ML and other things. If there is no leadership and vision - one should not be CEO.

CA: I know you like jokes.... But that was a cruel one.

Hang in there Qualcomm employees and you will surely beat Intel in the 5G race. I have a phone ordered with the 845 chip and I am most anxious to put it through a series of speed tests.

Facebook just joined the club. Let it go down together.

Will there be retention bonuses handed out this time? How much is it going to be?

Operations SVP sent an email about voluntary layoff. Deadline to talk to your manager is by COB of 3/26.

Reply +1 if you will be there. Show them that employees are important as well as those institutional shareholders.

If you are departing and you feel you’ve been wronged during the upcoming Qualcomm layoffs, do not sign any docs – this will keep your legal options open. Pursuing the legal option may cost money, so be smart and calculated no matter what you decide... — read more 

At a minimum SM and CA should do the Honorable thing and resign!

Hiring his friends even interviews failed, discussing salary with ex-colleagues and argue for increase in first review cycle, eventually got promoted, and kicked off ppl not from his clan. Hard to believe it happened in QCOM, China.

Paul Jacobs expressed disappointment that Qualcomm's Board of Directors has decided NOT to nominate him to the Board going forward.

What are your thoughts on all Qualcomm reviews on Glassdoor.com? So positive, so inspiring... The Overall rating is 3.9/5 - this is hardly matched by any other company. 71% approves the CEO, great work-life balance is cited as the #1 characteristic... — read more

Morgan Stanley downgrade target $55. Thrashed on Fast Money Half Time. Never see $80 again. Get out while you can. That is all.

Class of 2015 here... Look, they're going to lay people off. That's not going to change. But what the directors can control is what they say in the layoff meeting. What words they use. What their body language says. The message should be, "we really... — read more
