Listen up guys do not the severance bribe if you intend to due. You're much better off suffering in the short term rather than settling for the pathetic severance package that they're going to offer you. I made a big mistake by signing for a measly 20000 to 40000 severance package when you easily have a 250000 to 750000 lawsuit in your hands. I know it's hard and I know that you are coerced into doing it. Please don't do it. I am a female and I was sexually abused and verbally abused but I sign the severance package and that way at all of my rights. For the love of God if you have anything against these evil, slimy, cockroach bastards . Suffer in the short-term and you will prosper in the long term just don't sign that fing severance package. Let me be a lesson to you. Don't fing do it. You can be homeless for two months but in the long term you'll be legally in the right. I lost my case untechnical grounds but Morley I want. I'm not talking about men. I'm not talking about woman nor H1B's. I'm talking about human beings. The only way you can beat these f***ing cockroach bastard motherfuckers is to not sign that waiver, get a lawyer ASAP and you will be happy that you did. Don't be like me. I wish you all the best and I'm not here because I'm some HR pussy fart, cockroach bastard HR Lawyer, motherfucker piece of shit. Put it this way I lost a half a million dollar case for signing that coercive blackmailing waiver. Fick you HR.

Who is the number one person responsible for all the layoffs?
Anonymous171237, then u mybe have heard ladies use the f, n, c and all sorts of unladylike words. You do sound like a typical "know it all" lawyer though
170872: Thanks, but I would never work for Qualcomm. A friend of mine worked in their paralegal department. The money was good, but most of the attorneys thought they were hot stuff and were a PITA to get along with. If you work around lawyers long enough, though, you can't help but learn something. Also attorneys shouldn't post on a board like this. But the idea of hiring a neutral lawyer is a good idea. Unfortunately, I think that they shot the budget for the next couple of months when they took delivery of the Gulfstream.
170788: Only to serve paper.
170773: You analysis is spot on. I think QC is on to something here to hire a neutral third party lawyer to put some sense into these nutty QC employees, and there seems to many. Why are there so many nutty employees?
@Anonymous170773, you ever been to a dive bar?
170678: Not sure who or what OP is, but something about "her" rant sounds fake. (1) Women tend to be practical. A "measly" $20k-$40k severance package isn't so measly when your primary interest is having enough set aside to pay the mortgage and living expenses for a few months--if necessary, while you job hunt. (2) The $250k-$750k settlement is either dreamland, or comes with one of those big asterisks with plenty of fine print on the reverse side of the legal agreement. Most agreements to alternative dispute resolution under the EEOC or equivalent state law resolve with settlements under $10k. But just for shts and giggles, lets assume you can win a cool million, easy. The high stakes individual and "class" suits that settle for in the 7 figures or higher generally involve multiple plaintiffs or require significant expert testimony. Experts run about $500--$1,000 per hour. You're looking at about $50K apiece, and a class action may require several. And of course there's your law firm. Your case will invariably have more than one lawyer if you elect a jury trial--and you probably will. Because if you are like OP, you'll insist on your mythical "right to your day in court." (Where IS that in the Constitution, anyhow?) Lawyers don't come cheap. Your legal fees will generally be in the neighborhood of 25%--33% of your recovery. Hard costs are separate. Those can add another 10% to 25%--depending on the cost of electronic discovery and the number of depositions you take. So assume you will be taking home less than $500,000 less the roughly 30% cut your attorney may be required to send to the IRS as taxable income. So that's a $350,000 check to you. BUT WAIT! Did your attorney take your case on contingency? Of course he did! Because you don't want to pay out of pocket. And you were shrewd enough not to agree to allow the attorney to lien your house for fees in the event the recovery fell short. You know that saying: "There's no such thing as a free lunch?" Well there's no such thing as a free lawsuit, either--because it costs a lot of money for attorneys to bring one. And the court doesn't generally accept IOUs. Somewhere along the line, you agreed to allow your attorney to run a line of credit against your recovery. These lines generally run about 15% per year. The bill has now come due on that $500,000 credit line. Assume your case will take at least 2 years. That will be another $150,000. Your take has now been reduced to about $200,000 from that million. NOW factor in that lawsuits are public documents. Can you afford to retire on $200,000 if you never get another job? Because lawsuits are public documents. A lot of employers check these days to see if employees have a history of litigation. And you aren't as indispensable to the industry as you may think. (3) She claims to have lost her case on technical grounds. Losing on "technical grounds" is still losing. There are only a limited number of scenarios here: (a) she never really had a case, but the attorney decided to milk it for whatever settlement he could get; (b) she had a case, but the attorney fcked up at some point; (c) she had a case, but she blew it either by insisting on doing things her way, making an admission that killed her, etc. (4) She swears a lot for a female--and not the way most women do. I think it's a male troll
Who is this OP? I don't know what it means
You can rescind your signature and you can sue even if you signed. Especially if you were the victim of sexual abuse. That's a criminal case.
My severance package is 680000. I signed. Fick you OP.
I wish more people would be like OP to tell the world what it's really like to work for that company.
OP: Having a judge tell me I'm "in the right" plus $4 will get me a latte at Starbucks.
What a dirty mouth! I think you getting tons of followers/admirers. Only if all women talk like you.
