India teams are hiring... if anyone wants to relocate it is the best time
Qualcomm = Planet Of The Apes
Murthy is hiring please contact him.
This just in: SM resigned. Trump appointed as Qualcomm CEO. Qualcomm safe with government funds. No more layoffs for white Americans. Send Indians home. Build a wall around airports to keep Indian planes out. Long live the emperor
When Q moves an entire team to South East Asia, is it going to make the announcement public? I don't think so.
@2ycy, Q is not going to tell its employees upfront about upcoming layoffs ; it just doesn't work like that in Corporate America.
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. don't worry. Be happy. Go smoke a fatty and chill.
It has to be worse on the acquired company side ..... on the Q side attrition should suffice
Will need to up offer by more than 500M to close nxpi deal. Total eclipse of the synergy
I see people updating their LinkedIn profile. Brace for impact
$500 million represents about 2000 heads, using conservative figure of $250k overhead per Employee per year.

"This one word is the last thing you want to hear when your company gets bought out"
"Qualcomm expects to generate $500 million of annualized run-rate cost synergies within two years after the transaction closes"
Qualcomm press release.

An official public layoff public announcement would hurt what is left of Q reputation outside the company; maybe Q can find a way to lay off thousands of employees without making public announcement.
There is layoff's coming over the next 18 months minimum. We are asked to lie to those asking about it by HR as it is "being a good ambassador for the company". HR knows we will have to live with ourselves later and don't care as long as they keep their pay checks. QC will always have managers and above lie right to your face and us minions will keep doing it to save our so "meaningful jobs". Ha what a croc of bs. Be morally accountable to yourselves no one else or you'll regret later. Grow a pair QC and tell the truth lay offs are coming in many forms, straight out laid off, outsourced, ship jobs over seas, or replace with H1B's either way it amounts to same thing. QC is no longer the gorilla in the room getting what we want - we are now the chimpanzee begging for a banana. Best of luck we need with our current Executives ramming the ship into ice bergs. Titanic comes to mind.
Laid off employees will eventually be replaced by cheaper, more hard workers Indian H1Bs.
GTFO packages are being prepared...
Adding to the list:
MST (As China Team is hiring)
SLT (As TCOE is hiring)
Digital design team
Mask Team (outsourcing)
GNSS Team ( moving to India)
RF test
Sensors Team
camera team
This rumor seems legit, as I'm seeing unusually high level of activities from my fellow colleagues
No one knows what will happen until the very that day . That was the case for the last time
Logic plays no part in Qualcomm's decisions as upper management does not communicate decisions to line management. Labs can continue to be built out while the personnel for the labs are being laid off or jobs are being off-shored. Lots of past evidence of this... as far as NXP, maybe a US layoff would be comforting for the decision makers in the EU, as it may save EU jobs...
Fake. RF teams are hiring. CE team aren't moving to India
when is the day of the head falling? why is this not information of the public?
Some total BS in that list.
What about the useless VP and SVP? They should go first starting with KK
Surprising, MST not mentioned
Yeah I noticed that they change badge or do enforcement on it just before layoffs. I think it is time. Good luck to everyone.
Yes let's make a human chain in every balcony at WT to avoid people flying
sept. layoff is true. but we should help each other and do not make a suicide joke. that is real evil thinking. we should help one aanotherduring the hard time
There won't be layoff in September due to scrutiny of European regulators for NXP merger; but watch out around Christmas time or Hanukkah time I should say.
Seems like the focus seems to be on SD teams. Wondering if there is any information on SCL/ SJO since PTE has been ramping up at SCL, GNSS has a large team at SCL...
LoL Hopefully the coming layoff will bring down the crazy housing price in CV
Q has history of letting employees go around November/December timeframe: Merry Christmas
Exciting Times!!! Xmas comes early
So long, it's been good to know ya.
There's not much you can do about it if you are on the list so I would stress about it. My director told me to prepare for the word and hope for the best
You are also included in the list.
Is PMIC VI one of the affected groups?
BS.
