Any 'key' folks in your team paid $rentention ? Lots of tribe knowledge would be lost if some key folks all started leaving. So little knowledge is documented it would be really tough. At current stock performance RSUs/options have only weak retention vlue.

If qcom were smart theyd have nda’s attached to the retention offers (hint: qcom is not smart).
Anyone spouting off here abouy their retention bonus is lying... only a complete fool would do that as these offers are so few and far between that HR can quickly figure out who it is
@3gwp, so you think there's some truth to this whole retention bonus thing?? Are people actually being offered 1000's of $$ as retention? Bummer
1kso is surely a liar.
That said, with the complete lack of documentation or training in Q combined with the 'hoard the info' culture, a LOT of knowledge and so on is held the heads of key individuals. Q cannot have these peeps to walk. They will be retained and have been already locked down with $$$offers.
1kso, you are a liar.
Nobody gets retention in today's climate at Q. They would be waiting for you to leave, why pay retention. And also please move to Arizona with your $ and get fired from "wfr".
With your dog, desert sun and the horse manure!! Morons like you are not needed in sorrento valley, better off in Arizona ranch/desert.
Again we think you are just lying put of your a--
1kso again. Forgot to mention on top of 40k and rsu's and annual review bonus, they aggreed to allow me to relocate to Arizona and WFR (work from my Ranch!).
Arizona is great with best schools, while teachers are walking out elsewhere. My kids education is secure and my dog will love the desert sun, he is bored along with all in the family of the may do, june gloom stuff.
Now I want to buy some horse and ponied so we could all enjoy some manure. Imagine how manof you would get that chance??? I on the other hands will get to enjoy that alog with my retention$$, Rsu's, bonus and a six pack of Bud!!
I verified my galaxy 9 is water tight.
Ha ! How is the wifi coverage down there ? ! BRCM chipset ?
My retention is a 50 lbs weight attached to my feet. I'm writing this post from the bottom of the sea, the good news is that I verified my galaxy 9 is water tight.

@-1kso liar liar pants on fire
Not sure what the fuzz about. Retention is true. The exact terms might be different. Simple logic, you are dispensible if you didn't get one. Even you got one, it only means that the group need some time to replace you if you decided to leave.
If you get an offer somewhere else, most likely you will get sign-on bonus and much better future. So why wait...
yup! my biweekly paycheck
It’s hard to believe people receiving a bonus spending time here :))
Fake News
@-1kso
you understand 'confidential' ?? Take your $ and stuff the f up.
I noticed that my post of $40K monetary comp, 50% upfront and 50% after 6mo's was pulled. Someone on this site (HR?) who has authority to delete posts deleted it. Shame on Q, playing favoritism over others and NOT info'ing them of what they were capable of getting if they made some noise. BTW... that was $40K for the year, on top of the yrly stock RSU's and review bonus. Not chump change for the person that said that was not much... ohh btw, for my particular skillset, with the way they are letting people go... I expect to get that retention $ for the next few yrs.
Make some noise why don't you?
Since I didn't get any retention
I decided to give one to self ..
I started working 15 hours a week
Btw.. I volunteered but was rejected
Go Qualcomm go
HR and manager told me no retention’s
Heard senior staffs will get around $150k over 3 years. Rest are not critical and will be replaced with India or internal transfer from teams getting canned if they leave. I am so pissed and just updated my resume this weekend. F&$k Q
$1Billion dollars!
$150k over three years and best is I will get it all if I am let go for absolutely any reason.
I also got after I told my manager I was going to look for another job.
which team ?
Yes! I got it.
40k isn’t much to stay. Most companies would easily cover that.
Yes. 👋
Company is looking for attrition....you are a moron expecting $etention.
@bqo - so you got that award recently? Did you threaten to leave?
I am a key member of my team - no team will not implode if I leave but it will set them back significantly.
