It's me again....creepy optimistic lady....
Regardless of the outcome....I am prepared to leave and I am prepared to stay. Acceptance is the pathway to peace.
Q got played by NPX, when the deal is not approved Q has to pay NPX two billion dollars, with nothing to show for it.
All NPX had to do was agree to the deal then have the EU regulators deny it to make a quick $2 billion.
How many employee salaries does two billion cover?
Nxp deal is a dud. Hillary has better chance of seducing Putin than q has of closing deal by end of year
Layoffs were planned, but are on hold pending NXP deal (approval of which is now extended to end of October). Also there was some expectation of MAV going more with Intel, but for now we are keeping the same numbers as on the iPhone 7, which helped delay the layoff.
If the NPX deal was done by now, there would have been layoffs, layoff lists were all done.
The Q plan is still the same, to reduce headcount in San Diego to a bare minimum, in favor of India. Approval is waiting on the Q to make a deal guaranteeing they will remain for a certain number of years in the EU.
The writing is on the wall.
