A jury has determined that a Los Angeles County man who was severely burned nearly three years ago while working around electrical equipment at Qualcomm’s headquarters in San Diego should receive more than $7 million in damages....
Does anyone know if the plants are still out of compliance?
thank you for the details. It is obvious to see Qualcomm is continuing its underhanded behavior while trying to maintain an image of do not wrong to the outside world. The truth will reveal itself and everyone will realize the cauldron of excrement and greed this once great company has now become.
Good riddance.
They could have settled for 1.5 million at one time which they should have. We knew at time we were not compliant but top brass decided they could hide and manipulate documents as they have been known to do in past broadcom is an example of past destroying of emails etc. Well they got caught again and still aren't compliant. They say now they are not in that business anymore because they fired everybody and let Fluor run the show. Not true they pay Fluor to run it and have a QC manager that directs and tells Fluor what to do so have direct control over the plants. They outsourced on false pretenses by inflating number of employees actually on staff in hopes all would take offer. Sad billion dollar company and stoop to falsifying documents etc would have been easier to do right thing. Jury saw the documents and made their verdict. Sadest part of all the Cogens are still not compliant under Fluor, better but not compliant, they're adding change orders daily which cost lots of money, and since bldg is not leased to Fluor, permits to operate are in qc's name their still responsible. IMHO not the brightest EVP's around. Unfortunately the cogens saga will continue for a couple more years. OSHA is still investing QC for falsifying abatement documents after giving them ten violations one being a repeat violation. They failed to pay fines in time so right now they're doubled. New director of safety is worn out after only a few weeks. Now the investigation had to move to Santa Ana head region three office for some reason.
...To compensate S/Hs for the loss in profits, Qualcomm will be laying off another 40 Sr. Staff Engineers this month.
