Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

I enjoyed my time at Qualcomm.

Over a couple of decades I was proud to personally generate over $1 billion on the balance sheet. I quit because it became clear that the id--ts in charge didn't want the next $billion I had lined up. I hear they have been systematically getting rid of anyone with vision and drive. Now it's a company of yes men trying to get blood from a stone. What a shame.

Ya gotta admit. The writing was on the wall. In hindsight it’s so clear, I don’t know how I missed it.

@Xpp9oKv-1che : If you think chip business earns you only peanut, do you have guts to shut it tomorrow? If not, why? Only licencing will not get you anything. In sandwich, yes, filler matters, but it still needs bread to hold filler.

whether you can earn peanut or profit doesnt depend on what you sell ( product) but whether you CAN sell anything. Best businessman knows how to sell ice to Eskimo.

Yeah right, 2/3s of revenue comes from licensing. Everything else is peanuts. So stop glorifying your billion.

Thank you Jesus for putting greedy id--ts in charge....

Sorry to hear. Unfortunately on the GD sort spreadsheet: age, experience, and pay are the variables that get you on the list. So basically if you have been a loyal, successful employee you are toast. Now if you had just been an under performer who didn’t get promoted, get merit increases, etc...then you could still be there leaving at 2PM. Pretty sure there will be a Harvard Review Case on this in the future - how not to run a company.
