why are QCOM developers falling all over themselves to get hired by INTC? Does that mean QCOM is a worse place to work than Intel? Or does it just mean those QCOM people are naive?
Any advice for them?

You seem like one of the few FLMs who was not afraid to get rid of low performers; congratulations.
But many FLMs/SLMs have managed to hire like crazy anyone they can get their hands on just to have more people report to them so they can "grow"
I was given a ISP for getting a stock-level-4 in 2016 but my departure was delayed by 2 weeks after most others were let go because of my first and second level managers (director) asked HR for me me to be reinstated.
I was given a promotion in 2014 back and my manager decided to give me a stock-level-4 in 2016 because he thought since my salary has increased just a few years back, I can live with a little less and others should get a little more compensation.
When I got an ISP just a month after getting a stock-level-4, I wondered, why even give me a stock-level-4 and then take it back after a month.
Within a month of giving me the ISP, they invited me back as a green badge which I politely declined.
BK, the clown dug his own hold and pushed the company to a disaster. My co-workers say the company has deteriorated with many people even coming to work, let alone putting their 101%! The workers who are not good are staying because they cant find a job elsewhere, especially the incompetant monority hires who have been promoted because they are monirities. The good employees in Intel are staying because they either dont want to move from sites like Hillsborough and Folsom and they think they will get a package very soon when they are lay-ed off. And the good ones have stopped putting their 101% by arguing for better design, better validation ideas and just "going with the flow" of what needs to be done.
And Intel is probably the 20th choice for new graduates! Enough said about rejuvenation!
A great company, dilapidated and on the verge of collapse. Manufacturing/factories being a matter of 'national security' will never go away. But I think the other business units will soon be divorced and spun-off and most of them will meet their demise in the next 10 years.
So long s---as!
@1rde I am an FLM. Both of my team members who got kicked out in ACT were low performers. That‘s why I gave them low SSL, which was one of the main criteria for picking who would get ISP and VSP.
Oh, and both were middle aged women. Sorry that this doesn‘t fit into your „I am targeted for being an old white male“ narrative.
Also look up the word „psychopathic“. It doesn‘t mean what you think it means.
Intel SD is basically identical to Q. A building full of a--holes from top to bottom. So for Q employees, switching to Intel SD is like moving to another department at Q.
@vmh Yes, there are underperformers at every company who think that their age, s-x and ethnicity are the reasons why they get kicked out, and not their performance.
Qcom is very bloated, it got nothing left. Yes, it is worse than intel.
Any company that targets you to be laid-off because of age, s-x, and ethnicity is a terrible place to work.
