Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

POLL: If you had to choose, which one? (1) Stock price goes up $30/share but you lose your job or (2) keep your job with flat stock for 5+years

So I'd like poll people for which would they prefer. If you had to pick and choose between your stock and your job, which would you prefer? That is, let's say that the financial wizards at QC and wall street can break up QC such that we see a +$30/share increase, but ends up costing you your job. On the other hand, if QC does nothing for the next 5 years, let's say that the stock remains flat, your salary/RSU/stock options remain close to neglible, but you get to keep your job for the next 5 years. Which would you prefer? Keep in mind that, that if you do lose your job, there would be no further RSU/stock option vesting, so what you have vested now + ESPP is the only thing you would keep. Me personally? I would rather have the stock price go up +$30/share.

Working for a company that actually builds a new cutting edge product that customers will gladly pay for, instead of expecting it's best engineers to suck up to customers' whims so they don't bail on the near-functionally-obsolete patented technology. Oh, gee--what WAS I thinking? This was probably another trick question from our friendly HR troll....

The premise of your question presumes that a separate QTL could generate more revenue than an attached QTL. How is this possible?
