Not even H1Bs. All jobs being outsourced to cheaper locations. Revenue loss for us.
Sorry to hear that, 2vni. Best of luck
Notified first thing Thursday morning. Two weeks to get out. I'm in IT.
No worries, New H-1Bs are being brought over to replace these laid off workers: this is Qualcomm way of bringing new fresh blood.
Contact Trump administration to signal abuse of H-1B program by Q.
You guys work too hard to dig a pit for yourself. What a joke!!!
Rest&vest
Total 200, some leaving in March and some other in August.
Does anyone know how many people affected today?
Hr mtgs already held today. Sr Staff. 1 mo notice 12 wks after that and then 2 wks per year of service. 2 mos cobra coverage.
Are there manager/HR meetings tomorrow for affected people?
QSWAT = Qualcomm software automation tools? Is that the team that made Prison (Prism)? You have FB that serves more than a billion people, and it's faster than Prison.
What's QSWAT?
I see India is having a hiring event on the Jan 22. Seems about right.
QSWAT team 50% impacted. MST and CE is also impacted - but not sure of the numbers
Sad part is only good engineers are leaving and the useless, paper pushers staying.......bad bad bad
CR has been raised and issue has been reported to Trump .
++ Adding Trump
which teams are impacted? How many ? any idea
I was given 2 weeks per year, plus "severance" based on title as others have said; my last day is May 23 (day after next RSU vesting - Thank you). I've been at Qualcomm a long time and it was a great run . . . more than happy to leave, I was retiring soon anyway. Talking with the H1 Vista folks; it really s---s for them, their options are limited. I don't have the official count yet (I left early today), but looks like 50% of my team has been given notice. Based on a comment my director made, I suspect the intent is to eventually move the whole department to India. I'm guessing the focus for the us all between now and "the end" is training folks there. India has their work cut out for them. What they are inheriting is huge and complex . . . it is going to be a nightmare to take over with limited support from San Diego . . . I wish them well.
No hard feelings Qualcomm, I loved working for you and loved what we created . . . I wish you well.
And a special thanks to Irwin Jacobs; Thank you so much, you made working FUN!
We lost our best engineer. Sr Staff and tremendously important.

"Director" you deserve to be there.
I am a Director and part of R&D. I just got the notice. Last day is August 6th. Severance package is pretty solid plus the time frame gives me plenty of time to find another job. If anybody else was affected by this, there are many job opportunities for a company that is one of the largest in the nation.

Senior engineer got call from director. Package is as same as last time. Finally I am leaving and do not need to work with those sneaky indians
Anybody get the 60 day notice aka "WARN" notice which would put last day in March? It's only reason QC gives 60 days if it meets the criteria otherwise they don't give the 60 day notice. Just wondering if they'll be truthful in their obligation to file the notice
Not all teams are affected. Some people didn't even know there were layoffs.
pretty f'ed up to say BS when people were just RIF'd before lunch and more after lunch. Probably HR-ER posting BS again so they don't get confronted about their lying a$$'s
This is bs. There are no layoffs. Just a buncha bozos making up fake stories
I think I was targeted by a Staff Engineer because my favorite color is potato.
They kicked out all temp staff from MST and few from RF in dec 2016. How could qcom ruined someone Christmas and new year holidays.
Just got mine. 2 weeks + 2 weeks per year employed + 1 month of Healthcare. Aug. 2.
It's worrying for families. It's playing with the future of people involved. Hope they will conform to natural justice.
I got affected because my director does not like me and for my race, I am not white and that something directos does not like. Also my manager see me as a treat as he is clueless.
I don't see a Bldg E on the maps on Qualnet. 😐
Let's get Trump on the phone ASAP..
For those affected, could you please provide details? This will help reduce uncertainty for others. It might also help get the word out to prospective employers, so nothing to lose. Stay strong, we are with you. As engineers we need to stick together and not let politics, race, etc. divide us
What team get effect?
aug 2 is the last day.
March also
March
