Layoffs started at Qualcomm! 5 people from different teams! Keeping fingers crossed. TC 170K #layoff
Yeah, this is sad..
Layoffs in SD office?
What positions?
Bunch of them! 3 YOE to 17 YOE
Is warn trugerred
What orgs are affected? Hardware, software or all? I’m sorry to hear this, hope everything works out
Seems like all of them!
I don't think so my team has reqs open still. Wouldn't make sense to lay people off while still hiring..
Do you know what the criteria is? Like performance based or something else and also curious to know how are the people effected being informed. Thank you.
Not sure.
They are performance based over last 2 years
only 5 people in total?
That I know of in last 3 hours.
Just happened this afternoon?
I hear this is a “mini” layoff of <5%. Not performance based.
How many people does Q has now?
Yeah 5% of 51k is a huge number
Only 5?
Yes, only 5! 🤓
Will get to know more about it tomorrow
Sorry to hear that. Apple is definitely hiring, we now have a SD campus ( well some buildings)
Apple did not overhire or overpay. Doubt they’ll do any mass layoff
They hired 10k employees in a year? Ok?
