Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

I left Qualcomm 3 years ago.

I left Xerox 30.5 years ago.

Qualcomm is no Xerox. Qualcomm never was a Xerox.

I earn 2.5x my former Q salary, at Google, and I am finally happy, again, after many years of frustration and pain at Qualcomm. Qualcomm s---s all the fun out of work with the BS managers who sit on their asses and do nothing, the H1B anvil levitating over everybody's head, and if a Q manager is productive, then the whole project is a waste of time, they get you coming and going.

Intel has Murthy though. It was his style of management at Qualcomm that made me leave.

I am also at Intel, not great, but much much better than Qualcomm Corp R&D in SD

Intel is very good: every quarter bonus, annual bonus, once a year review, mentor ship program, education reimbursement, nice working environment, less stress and bullshxt. I am very happy I left 6 mo. ago.

Left when it first started going downhill. Didn't play the a$$kissing game and focused on doing good work so I didn't get very far there.

I'm now making 3x my salary there at a much healthier company and environment. They made it seem like the world and there was nothing outside. There was a time when the QC brand was strong in SD but these days most of the folks I talk to around town see it as a joke. I feel bad for friends who are still there and having to deal with the toxic environment

@1jng - OP here, I work for Facebook now, making well over 300k and I am not even 30 yet. :)

Toxic company and toxic jobs. Get out if you are unhappy.

At the end of the day, I am more happy to work for less $.

Rather than kissing someone a.s for better pay , bonus, or promotion.

That is unethical IMHM.

Let's play fair.

Look at the jealous guy, probably is one of those who will never get hired by other company as he never developed any skill.....kissing Axs does not count as skill

Which Home Depot are you guys working in?

Definitely better off after leaving Qualcomm on my own.

I left on my own at the end of 2015 as well. Got fed up with all the politics and endless meetings about nothing. Took a big pay cut but life has been much better ever since. Work life balance has returned and doing productive work. One of my better choices in deciding to leave QC.

I left Qualcomm on my own about a year ago. The work environment at Qualcomm is toxic. I'm MUCH happier now at my new company. I even have my weekends back.

Qualcomm has become Xerox.

nice story bruh
