174865: "all employees except managers" -- that's a sizable chunk of Qualcomm, so they need to cut more!
It will turn out to be: all Qcom employees fired except managers. Sigh!
It was 2800 California and 1400 elsewhere
Just as I was pivoting to status collector skill set! Bah!!!
QC needs to bring the headcount down to the industry norm. This will take some time to realize, because organizations are not only top heavy with too many status guys, but also have too much redundancy. Nowhere else do you see so many contractors on top of duplicated projects. Next round has to be bigger than the first round.
more cuts are coming.
Double. Lots of contractors and temps were let go. But they may be brought back if the team can't meet schedule. LOL
2800
Who the hell cares what the exact number was? Bottom line is that it was probably not enough and more cuts are coming.
