Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

The last poster and OP are trying to demnstrate "figures of speech". One is exaggeration, second is sarcasm and the third is comedic humor (not sure if that last one is a figure of speech)...

Guys, adding to what OP is saying,

This is confirmed if you are not working on 5G, you will lose your job. Only 5G stays in Qualcomm USA and everything else gets moved to Qualcomm India location.

Two things you can do if you get a notice is show your willingness to move to India office or ask for a referral for a position there.

OP is all BS!!!

@QEP & OP - assuming you are same person, where did you get the following from:

"Server team 50% reduction 50% transfers"

50% reduction?? - that alone will kill the project right away

50% transfers?? - from where and to where??

Geographical relocation or site site closures?

Do you mean Raleigh will be the only site doing servers?

And folks from other sites will be either let go or asked to relocate to Raleigh??

Lots of innuendo no clear information or answers here!

Looks like the Broadcom Trolls are back in force.

jcd - My post stands as is, thanks. IOT has already been absorbed into a broader, more focused department. The server project success/status isn't published below the VP/Sr. Director level, so you have no insight. Of course, if you aren't a QCom'er, that's the big mystery, isn't it?

Dude what did you smoke last night?

QCA?

@onk. It is not called fired. Totally different things. Good luck

Sounds reasonable. Which visa I need to apply to work in India.

more or less, I think this is going to happen.

Xsb do you think OP is has the correct information??

Oh snap, it just got real.

I call bs on OP

Notifications do start on Monday (this is true), but the numbers indicated aren’t true. The title isn’t the major factor (lol they are) . Projects that aren’t performing (IOT, servers), overstaffing (square corporate structure, too many project managers, and senior staffs) in departments, redundant positions, and performance reviews was key factor (lol, the performance review is biased too). Higher titles have higher performance expectations, but notifications impact all levels.

This post is BS.

I don't get it except for H1B captives why does anyone else work for this company.

QCOM will split into 3 companies.

Just received an email notification. Meeting with director and HR rep on Monday morning.

If you are getting fired you can check your HR webpage, you will see a new Tab "TT package"

my position is QCT Senior Staff. 11 years with QCOM

I call BS on the whole post .

I have heard similar things. Not sure about RSUs though.

Who told you RSUs will vest. It RSUs not RSU's.

On average if QCOM let RSU vest for people leaving it will cost them 50k per person.

So basically to send you out QCOM will spend 100k. (RSU + severance package)

total cost 200 million lol.

I call BS.

RSU's will vest for those allowed or told to leave.

Managers deadline for notification is 4-20.

Yes, HR understands that irony.
