My moron director gave me access to his calendar 6 months ago while he was on vacation for a month. He forgot to revoke it. I saw an update from our HR robot this morning. What's the story, the whispers say that they talked about RSUs and the short... — read more
Qualcomm lay-off impacting housing markets already
Inventories up, buyers delaying home buying. More pain early next year with second round of lay-off.
what should i write on my self feedback form to avoid being laid off???
i haven't been productive since last year. help needed!!!!!!
I recommend that you folks get a sharpie and color your blue badges pink if you want to save your job.
That way, people think you cost less than the other blue badges....
On Q Execs not liking this site
In fact, this site should be an asset for them - this is the only way they hear what people ACTUALLY think, and not sugar coated feedback nonsense each of us give them on a regular basis. This is the true face of QC, a lot of anger, frustration, some... — read more

Qualcomm: Break-Up Would Be ‘Value Destructive,’ Says Morgan Stanley
http://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily/2015/07/27/qualcomm-break-up-would-be-value-destructive-says-morgan-stanley/?mod=yahoobarrons&ru=yahoo
Info on previous layoff packages.
Here is what other people have received for a layoff package just a few months ago. 60 days to find a new position within QC. (avoiding layoff if your successful) 2 weeks of pay plus 2 weeks pay for every year of service. $600 toward Cobra medical... — read more
Irrational Exuberance
What else can we blame the H1Bs for? Irrational Exuberance by the decision makers, too many ill conceived pet projects, irrational hiring, antitrust issues in China and Euro? BTW, how much did those cost in terms of fines and legal fees while we... — read more
Annoying qtime wizard
Is there a way to strangle that annoying microsoft office wizard which pops up over the weekends if you don't fill up your qtime. That's one thing I'm looking forward to not seeing if I get laid off
Dedicated to all VPs enjoying their "retirement"

QCT fellows if you don't agree with layoff terms or if you work 50+ without overtime pay
Guys lets form a group to see what choices do we have and what else we can do. I would like to get all people that received the layoff package and work on something.
Does Qualcomm still have Pink badges for the H1-B's
Just curious.
Huge H1B Influx expected in SD for s/w AND business jobs
Hey all u jokers whining bout the H1Bs... A huge influx of H1Bs are expected into the SD job market ... They will take the s/w, business, marketing, finance and all other jobs available.. Obviously hiring managers will prefer them when they apply die... — read more
Are H1bs paid more than citizens?
I hear that H1bs are not inexpensive but rather they earn more than the citizens. Is it true? There is some clause in H1B application filing that the wage given to the engineer has to be more than the prevailing wage for the job. That means if... — read more
So if you have a greencard or citizenship and find yourself RIF'd before an H1B with similar skillset....
Talk to a lawyer....That's why I think you'll end up getting PIPed versus just a straight lay off. the PIP is to justify keeping the H1-B instead of you.
high tech is dead in SD...clear that the future growth lies in Biotech for SD. If Executives at the Q wanted to grow the SD business in new
areas of innovation they would have told jana to f*** off it was their company and bought them out . As we can all see they did not do that. the conclusion is obvious
Public sentiment
Qualcomm employees publishing their sentiments around H1Bs is a good thing. It's better to know how the majority of people in QCOM feels towards one another instead of living in a naive world of ... I made it! I conquered the American dream. I am... — read more
Firesale: Qualcomm engineer, 10+ years of experience.... 2 for 1 sale going on now.
Hire 1 laidoff engineer, get one free!
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton Here...
I understand that you might be reducing the workforce at the Q. We want to make sure that there our underrepresented kind are not cut. Otherwise, we will have issues with that.
Well those looking for mobile software positions, we're done hiring in SD.
We've filled 20 positions in the course of 3 weeks. So unfortunately we are no longer looking for candidates. We did pick up 3 Qcommers. You snooze, you lose.
China stock market tanking, US stock market tanking, Q folks job cutting, gold/silver tanking, oil tanking
I hope you jobless folks already have a sizable cash reserve. Looks like the wheels of the financial markets are starting to come off, and it looks like it's going to be a bear market for the next few months..... Ouch...
Looking forward to another unproductive week this week as we wait for "the word"
Yawn...Instead of going to the beach this morning, I think I'm going to sleep in until 10:30.... Such is a rough life working in my group...
Looking forward to an awesome week ahead Qualcommers now that we put all that layoff silliness behind us.
Let's all "Bust a Move" and do some great things this week.
How safe it is for H1B( with GC in processing) to hang on till I-485 filing/approval?
I am expecting to get GC in 2 year.Currently I may be safe now but wondering how things possibly play down and its worth taking risk or bail out now and restart GC with new employer( I have a offer from consulting company,not very good $,but... — read more
